Re: Looking for.....Regency Mail Coach (possibly 1:43 scale).

Thanks, Willz, that's very kind of you, but I already bought one off Fleabay (I just needed to enter the "correct" words in the search engine - who knew?). It's quite "shiny" and not such a clean casting as the £33 and £55 versions - I'm just hoping that that was because it was l...

Re: Looking for.....Regency Mail Coach (possibly 1:43 scale).

You are right - four-horse team. For some reason I had it in my mind it was a Britain's Deetail model! The scale should be ok for 28mm figures, as I have several of the "Models of Yesteryear" early 1900s vehicles as Great War staff cars and they fit nicely (I use GWM seated gunners as driv...

Looking for.....Regency Mail Coach (possibly 1:43 scale).

Do any of you remember those old newsagents-cum-model shops that used to have stock displays in the window that included a Regency Mail Coach, complete with six-horse team, driver and two "guards" sitting on a seat at the rear? Who made it and what scale was it (it wasn't 54mm/1:32, it was...

Re: Penda's Crimean War Project

Before the Prodigal Foundry Collection was unexpectedly returned my initial plan was two brigades a side using modified Soldiers of Napoleon rules.
