If my cavalry start charging through a lot of heather, you'll not be that surprised.

Just when I thought I was getting close to completing my Austrians another set comes along.

These will be shoe-horned in immediately after the Cuirassiers and before the Chevaux-leger.

Although not technically my 'latest' purchase, in my year back in the hobby (after a very lengthy absence) I have collected the following sets:

I'm generally trying to just pick up sets that will help me with my FIW projects, but having seen the Zvezda sets on PSR I couldn't resist picking them up. I've also collected a few Zulu war sets for a future Isandlwana scene.

These jumped off the shelf at me. I had no option but to bring them home.

That makes a decent number of marines I have now. ;-)

Good price on the box :P

NB. I will not be painting the sailors in striped shirts :shock: or even painting them at all.

Interesting brick walls always make me curious M M, :thumbup: and those look perfect to replicate for ones own use in a lump pump water and soap rubber mold. :sst: `and plaster of paris of course.' Added the little button,that often shines after a good buffing up.

Rich W,it`s great to thumb ones way through a good book, :thumbup: i hope you enjoy reading it. BB

Unusually good looking artillerists. And I like the water wagon, or is it gin?

Many thanks to Remko for sending this and to Alex for a wonderful figure. :yeah:


I really like the FIGZ Napoleon pic too, I've just noticed his cockade and the fact that he's wearing klopjes, that's cool :-)
