Pacific War Collection in 15mm

This 15mm collection is my latest effort to reduce my Mountain of Lead. These Imperial Japanese and USMC figures have been lying around for some time, and were originally intended to replace some old plastics. Finished at last! Figures are Peter Pig.

38th Infantry Regiment. Guadalcanal, 1942.









5th USMC.


















Below is a victory objective marker. The Japanese sailor from Gilligan's Island has captured Ginger and Mary Ann and has got them penned-up!

Left to right: Crazed Japanese Sailor; Mary Ann Summers; Ginger Grant.
The Sailor says: "American Movie Star steams up glasses!" 












The cynic may ask, "How did castaways from Gilligan's Island find their way to Guadalcanal in 1942?" To which I respond, "This is wargaming, not a class in theoretical physics!"

The Skipper guides the 5th Marines to rescue Ginger and Mary Ann.
Trouble is, his sense of direction has never been great ...










"Marine, you die!" Colonel Ickibi leads his Banzai Boys forward. There are many, many of them.
