Surprising how ropy the castings look 'in the raw'.

I agree, If I got something like those in an order from a modern manufacturer these days I'd be saying bugger this for a game of toy soldiers

6mm WW1 planes for Steel Lard

Some pug-faced Warlord French Nap artillery. The faces are just god awful compared to the Victrix plastics.

In the same vein would you be happy if you bought a new car and got one of these.



Compared to modern cars there is no comparison.

But I know I would love to have another Triumph Herald. My first car was a Triumph Herald 1200 in two tone white and blue and I also had Vitesse 1600 Convertible.

Always wanted one of them. Almost as much as I wanted a Vitesse Convertible. I saw one in Cheddar a couple of weeks ago....showing its age, sadly.

Quite a bit on my workbench, I got around to putting a base coat on these cavalry today
A mix of Crusader SYW Prussians and Austrian cavlary
Some Perry Napoleonic Mounted Jaeger along with the last 2 battalions of my Murawski Miniatures Duchy of Warsaw infantry and their 13th Hussars

That’s an impressive workbench of beautifully painted figures Kerry

I still have a platoon and support elements of 1941 Soviets that have been staring at me for some time now. It's a mix of PSC 28mm plastics, (shallow detail but serviceable), Crusader (Dull and predictable poses), BTD, (really quite nice) and Warlord, both metal and plastic, (the metals are actually rather good).

I just don't seem to be able to get enthused about them, and get distracted with things like a pair of motorcycle combinations I picked up, and a German film cameraman.

Splendid stuff, bro.

Ducks.
