The flash is excessive and any attempt to file it off leaves a furry surface just like the old Airfix polythene figures. It is also very brittle and clipping figures off the sprue has resulted in several breakages. I dropped a cavalry figure on the kitchen floor and one of the forelegs snapped. I think I will put this down to experience and get some metal instead.
Gripping Beast do nice Late Roman plastic Infantry.

I have the Forged in Battle 15mm Late Romans. They are rather nice.

I could have bought an SP Revolutionary French force but instead I got a new battery for the vehicle.
I suspect that’s a popular purchase these days.
I get lockdown, but I get up again.

Battery? I see little point in batteries when my current vehicle is getting 4 months to the gallon.

Seems to be a lot of sans cullotting on this forum at the moment, time to get out the guns and blow them away in a whiff of grapeshot.

You didn't know LT has a sfkfz7 with a flak vierling on the back? Very handy in Edinburgh traffic especially round festival time.
