Yesterday I received the No.4 Terror set by Chelovechek. The set is based on Franklin’s Lost Expedition during 1845 to 1847.
There are 6 figures included in this set. They are made out a rubbery type of resin. They are 1/32 in scale. I chose the blue color for this set. They also come in a dark gray and I think a brown color. The paper print of Captain Franklin was a nice touch.
Here is the Captain with his looking glass.
Sailor with pick.
Marine with rifle. Looks like he is getting ammo to load the rifle.
Sailor with lantern.
I think here is another Marine with an ice pick.
Another Marine or Sailor shooting a carbine.
A Conte & Barzso figure added to the mix.
I like this set very much. A couple years ago I watch the TV series called the “Terror”. Like the toy soldier set it was based on the story of Franklin’s Lost Expedition. The British Navy ships HMS Erebus and HMS Terror got stuck in the ice while exploring Canadian Artic. You can read more about this over here, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin%27s_lost_expedition.
I like the poses in the set. I wish that there were more though. Maybe they will do another set one day. For now I will add some Conte Alamo figures and some others that I think I can convert to fit the era. They are nicely sculpted and are a unique subject. I would like to make a small display one day. If you are interest in this set you can contact Ivan at evanspud@mail.ru.

That is it for now. Thank You for reading.
Great figures in a super detailed box. A great opportunity for collectors. I really enjoyed the real history. I hope the shows will be a success. The show must go on… Thank you for sharing. Regards
I’ve got a TERROR set on the way, and I’m looking forward to its arrival. Thanks fir the review!
Thanks for the update. While I enjoyed the mini series The Terror, I wonder how much interest their will be for this set? It is nice to see so much diversity by manufacturers.
