Plastic Spencer Smiths for Vintage

Post by Buff Orpington »

I didn't want to send the biggest PM in history so I've put the pictures here
17 painted, the drummer is metal
Image

23 undercoated lights
Image

15 more lights
Image

37 Grenadiers
Image

Light & Grenadier officers & some line at the ready
Image

If you change your mind about the Americans in hunting shirts there are 104 of them
Image

Plus as many of the command figures as you want. All Peeler took were the 8 Americans in cloaks and a standard bearer.

I know when to go out
I know when to stay in

Last picture third line from the left, John Travolta? 😁
Buff, having seen them, those Officers & flag chaps, if Clive doesn't want them, or whatever's left over when he's had his fill, I'd like them. Several bases of 18thC Swordsmen would be nice.

Here are the now refurbed light infantry which kicked all this off.

Nowhere near the standard of other people's painting I know (basically I have one working eye for painting) so my aim is to b;lock paint as neatly as possible to a consistent style.

Having sprayed them liberally with Plastidip I don't anticipate them losing any more paint over the next 20 years or so.

I also have the feeling they would scale out well with CB's Hinchliffe X range figures, but I will need to check.

They are very nice figures and less well known than they should be.

I had bunch of these hard plastic types I bought from 'Spencer Smith' himself back in 1976 from the address in Frimley that I got from the back of Charge.

I remember painting them as the Garde Francais and Prussian Fusiliers. These hard plastic Minot designed figures had a lot more detail than the soft plastic Spencer Smith.
