My goodness, they do look nice. What a difference from their earlier efforts. But I already have WSS in 6mm, so it's easy to resist.

For painting plastics (soft), I recommend you find the Rustoleum plastic primer spray cans. Spray that and then paint on top. Especially when solidly based they are pretty resilient.

The secret with soft plastics is after painting - spray them with clear Plastidip. This is a rubberised coating and that paint’s never coming off.

Still do. Were available for years from Peter at Spencer Smith but now sold to Mark as Jacklex Miniatures (google to find) including previously unreleased figures by Jack Alexander. Other ranges include ACW, RJW, WW1, Pershing Expedition to Mexico, and coming up Mexican Adventure. There was a rather nice RJW demo game and display of all the ranges at Battleground in Stockton. Some of the equipment sets are particularly lovely.
