Lovely stuff, Mr Burt. Brings back memories of the John Tunstall magazine ("Wargames"?) from the 60s, and one of the Featherstone books.

Who knew that flared trousers were big back then?

I simply cannot see the attraction in these sorts of figures, but each to their own. Nicely rendered I'm sure for those who like this sort of retro figure and game.

What he said.
Crimean war in 28mm holds zero appeal to me, but I don't feel the need to go on your gallery thread and say so.

What a splendid sight, all the better for knowing that they are all the work of our very gifted EB. (Except the mounted general, and I have had harsh words with him on that score.) I am really enjoying our foray into the "retro" look.

Not my thing either, that's why I don't comment. So what exactly caused you to comment on something you are not interested in ?
