A little bit more

- 1 in 2 roman soldiers are at least of centurion rank.
- There's a significant number of u-boat turrets floating around.
- All german war cameramen operate their camera without a battery.
- 1 in 3 us paratroopers have an indian haircut.
 
Love ya work Jamie

1. most US cavalrymen seem to be either dead or about to be dead.......so how the heck did they win the indian wars?

2. bad guys always have the coolest weapons

But i have to pull you up, there is/was a guy selling a german soldier doing #2's in 1/35th on ebay and i have seen a kit of a German soldier doing #1's ---clear plastic stream and all
 
So, WWII Germans could urinate and defecate whilst the rest of the human race, for all of time, could not.;)

If you weren´t wearing something shaggy you weren´t a viking.
If you didn´t have long, recently shampooed hair, you weren´t a viking.
All vikings had those little pouches on their belts, just big enough for their car-keys, cigarettes and wallet.

If you were a farmer outside of WWII or the Napoleonic wars, very few will have ever made a model figure of you.
If you were any kind of civilian outside of Napoleonic or WWII timeframes chances are no-one´s made a decent figure kit of you. Unless you´re some floosie being chatted up by a smart soldier boy.
History = War. War = History.
Democrates, Archimedes, Sophocles, Copernicus, Leonardo Da Vinci, van Huygens, Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin never existed let alone anyone from those other countries where they have a higher sub-cutaneous melamin content.

Celts never felt the cold.
No-one ever, never, ever had a snotty nose.
You couldn´t be a warrior or soldier if you were bandy-legged, or pigeon-toed or had a deviated nasal septum.
Internal organs never got splattered anywhere, even after the invention of explosive weapons.

Landscapes could "melt" over edges in a wierd Dali-esque fashion.

Some observations about olden times

- Wolves shed their skin, with Fur and teeth, for the benefit of Roman standard bearers and some gnarly warriors
- about 50% of chain mail bikini clad, g-string wearing lady warriors fought in high heels
- chain mail and plate armour never rusts, brass armour never tarnishes, swords will always have the cutting edge all shiny. some swords were dipped in chrome, even!
- Going by the fantasy types who look like they come from the Dungeons & Dragons Universe, Warriors are big, bulky, use oversize weapons (or two!), wear armour like "Bling" (fancy, over the top; armour version;Clang?) and have the brain the size of a peanut. Thieves, rogues and assassins wear cloaks to blend in with backgrounds and peasants, who incidentally, never wore cloaks; some disguise, eh?
- With all the 'Clang' needed, brass polish, loot and so forth, no henchmen have been modeled. Who carries all this stuff around for the heroes?


Oh no, I may have created a monster....or at least, some irritating little gremlin that will be shoved in a glass jar with a few air holes in the lid, soon!
