Would they be close enough?

Good thinking, mate. I found that Minifigs do a "Prussian Frei Corps Uhlans (Tall Hat)" (code 18VC) and "Prussian Bosniak Lancers (Colpack)" (code 19VC), but I couldn't find any photos of them. There's lots of photos of model train figures, lots of other makers and scales, and an impressive 1/6 action figure of a lady pirate- which was probably not designed with children as the target market...). Plus, like Essex, they may be a bit too small to mix with the Eureka 18's.

I have very low standards, so can tolerate Minifigs and/or Essex when there's no other option (as long as they're not mixed in the same unit as Eureka). However, they're both taking the piss with their prices and packaging policy.

I miss the days when Minifigs 20mm were 20c (9d in the UK?) each for foot figures. As for Essex, I don't know whether Ray's still bringing them in, but they were more expensive than AB's at one stage. It was cheaper, and usually quicker, to order them from the UK- and that included airmail P&P to Oz. £4.85 for four 15mm mounted is par for the course, here.

Perhaps you could have a look at some at one of the shows, mate, and then prowl the B&B's?

Spent Christmas break painting the flags for my Walloon Guards. Templates from the wonderful Not By Appointment

Now..... just need to actually paint some Walloon Guards

Wonderful flags. They will look stunning on the units.

They will indeed.

Amazingly good! Now you need to 'weather' them: tear them up a bit and put shot holes in them etc.

Beautiful job on those flags Simon.

Bloody hell Simon they're a bit good
