Just to add to the flurry of latest purchases added here...All these figures are absolutely lovely. I've not bought any Romans since I was a child, but these figures looked so good I had to get them. And the Teutoburg Forest events sound a very interesting topic so I thought I should get the book to read up a little more. Any suggestions as to any other Roman/Auxilaries sets that would go with this set (correct uniforms etc)?

A nice batch of new figures arrived yesterday

More French Infantry for the WSS - I've now get enough for 10 units

British Infantry for the WSS - It wouldn't be fair just to do the French and I can also use them against my Jacobites for 1689 and 1715.

British winter tank crews - Not sure I'll bother with snow on the bases, maybe try some mud.

Volkssturm - something to add the the mix for Fall of the Reich games

NVA and VC - yet more to add to my Vietnam mix

Mounted musketeers and cardinal's guards - to go with the foot versions I have already got

Ukrainian Cossacks - enough to complete units of Polish Pancerni and Imperial Croats

Roman/Crusader Transport - mainly bought for the Oxen, which I need for my Napoleonic Spanish

Looks like enough work for the next days.

Hello everyone,
I finally let myself tempted by Speira and it was a five star experience from start to finish.
I wanted a couple of ACW references to complement my current figures and also a Napoleonic heavy gun and other accessories.
Overall it was faster than announced, very professional communication throughout, packaging incredible and the result is just bluffing.

I will highly likely order again.
Have a great weekend everyone.

Speira are great!

Saturday we went and bought some soil for the missus tomato plants. In the shop I saw some huts that seemed to be the right size for me. Price? Couldn't find a pricetag first. Then I found one I thought, 25 SEK. Well, how much do one house in our scale cost??? So I took two huts and paid for them. Total 10 SEK!!! But then it was time to walk home. But I will go there again some time and buy more. :-D

So you purchased these with bottles? :mrgreen:

How much is one Swedish Kroon in euro? :eh:

Posted by **Susofrick** on 15 Mar 2021, 13:44

Oh no! Wrong shop!!! Better try next time! 1 Euro is about 10 Swedish krona so they were pretty cheap.

If they fit the space then by all means use them Gunnar. :thumbup:

Fire at Will, that is a fine stash you've had delivered!

A little while ago I decided that I wished to collect one box of each Revell set-boxes in good condition and figures on sprue. Not really sure why, but Revell were my favourite brand and as a youngster I predominantly bought Revell figures. So maybe this collection is for nostalgia. Anyway, managed to get a batch of new sets all in pretty good condition from one seller, so with postage combined, these work out reasonable priced. Still quite a few sets I need, but I'm confident that over time I'll stumble across them all! I already have pretty much all of them but in tatty boxes and loose and badly painted/broken etc.

Great catch Rich.

Posted by **Susofrick** on 29 Mar 2021, 12:34

That is really a very nice catch!

Posted by **Susofrick** on 29 Mar 2021, 12:39

I bought some more houses. A bit more pricey than the first ones, but still quite cheap!

A little quiet village:

The alarm is given!

Reminds me of the old Tarantula movie! Will you develop that story with the monster spider any further? (I hope so.)

Posted by **MABO** on 29 Mar 2021, 17:46

I am afraid of spiders!

Posted by **Wiking** on 29 Mar 2021, 19:43

In Sweden the houses are small and the spider are huge.
A lot has changed there since my journey home across Sweden in 2005.
