Oh dear! I am going to tell you how it is done!
Don’t fret. It is a hobby. I am stubborn to a point. For ages I´ve been trying to built a British Crimean small Army. Of course it all started when I did the Light Brigade with Baccus proxies. You see there is no proper Crimean 6MM range in the Baccus Catalogue.
The big stone in the path was the British Guards… I refused for a long time to use the French Imperial Guard Grenadiers from Napoleon for a long time… I thought it was a bit obscene morally (LOL)… and then after unsuccessfully pestering Peter about a new pack for them… I did go for it.
The path was complicated, due to a sad mistake on my address (lack of mention of ANDORRA as a country) the parcel with proxies was lost for a hundred days (true napoleonic feelings I guess).
And then one day it appeared on my mail box as something brought by the cat (I do not have a cat though… those who deal with cats know that you do not “have” them… is the other way round… but I digress).
Normally the minis do not come as battered and bended as those, mind it is easy to fix them… but I like to show them as they were.
After a bit of work on the headgear (cutting out details) and eliminating the sabre briquet, and also the bayonets… I asume a painting job would do the rest.
So, in next posts (in the near future) I will explain how it goes. (Damn! it has been years since I painted 6MM… only painting 54MM Toy Soldiers nowadays… a bit concerned…)
Enjoy!
