Below are some mounted Marines that I painted up for wargame scenarios set during the "Banana Wars" of the 1920s. The figures are 25/28mm scale and I got them from Cannon Fodder Miniatures of Australia. I did a little conversion work by substituting two Thompson SMGs for the rifles. It's too bad I wasn't able to find Thompsons with the 50-round drum magazine but with miniatures, you learn to work with what you have.
I like the one above especially- the Marine is smoking a cigar and toting a Thompson! It doesn't get much better than this! Too bad it's so hard to obtain the real thing here in Kalifornia.
