Well I suppose it is better to dismount mounted policemen than it is to try mounting dismounted ones.

I'm retired, I've had enough of that mounting and being mounted sort of thing.

Contemplating a bid on this for shiny scenery but is a 15" long barn too big for 42mm?

I suspect it's made for something like Britain's farm animals etc, so might be a bit too big. It's a bit crude but I wouldn't mind that for my Wild West 54mm.

That's probably what it works best as. I shall leave it alone as I have loads of other things to get on with.

Has the world started spinning the other way or something?
Buff has never backed out of a casual and unnecessary purchase before.

Because Ayton 1 is looming large I'm obviously working on stuff for Ayton 2. I've been repurposing some 28mm C19th figures by gloss varnishing them etc...
However I've hit a problem in that getting them off of the base is akin to trying to take a pie out of Peelers grasp.
I can't think of any real issues with using multibased troops for 'Gentlemans War' but can anyone else?

I suspect I might have used epoxy and I don't think the freezer works for that? Plus i'd have to explain to the wife that I was eating twenty four sausages to make room for four dozen askaris that needed debasing :)
