He bought this set on EBay for 9 GBP (without officer and gun) and he stripped-repaired-repainted.
Wish I was so confident on EBay… I have bought things during the pandemia that never arrived… and when I claimed my money I was not refunded… so it is out for me nowadays… on the contrary I wish I could visit flea-markets or Boot-Sales to find old toy soldiers (no one wants anymore) as a lot of my friends in FaceBook seem able to do!
Enjoy!

It is a Boer war game. I put a stop on my own wargaming just before that. But it is impressive in a way.
Britain’s (it has been said before) never developed a proper ACW lot of figures, the majority were Boer Wars minis painted differently. Probably an exaggeration but with some truth in it…
I am sure Paul Watson appreciates!

A pity the flash reflected on the building… but otherwise a very nice picture.
The Dutch Grenadiers of the Guard would have a tragic campaign history… but you all know that. Nice uniform but not a great record… Iconography has dwelt upon some units a lot of attention…
Enjoy!

Those 54mm by Scott are always stirring toy soldiers!… Do not tell me the subject is well known!
Exotic to say the least!
Napoleon’s III intervention in Mexico (Because the Mexicans were not paying their international debt!)… follow the money!
Wonderful Toy Soldiers!
Enjoy!

Already another Post is in Facebook… do not know if I will publish here… do not know why the more the number of Posts on a subject the less Hits it gets… I guess the majority likes “something new all the time”.
LOL
I do what I can really!
Enjoy!

Dave Mitchell’s Own as seen in Facebook…
OK it is a Little Big Horn diorama… but that is probably the peak of the Plains Indian Wars… have read a lot of books about it and not the wiser about “How”… “Where” “When” “Why” and “Whom” is pretty clear I guess.
The precise movements and actions of Custer’s Battalion and HQ (Cos C,E,F,I & L) are still a matter of debate today… because there were not survivors… the situation of the corps of the deceased or massacred gives some hints of where they died… but not the order of the deaths.
Here you are… you seemed to like the last Post about it…
Enjoy!

U.S. Cavalry has always been a cherished subject since childhood… those John Ford movies did an everlasting work!
I saw this on Facebook (by Dave Mitchell) the other day and thought maybe change a little from Antietam in 6mm (You all must be tired of the subject by now!).
So…
Enjoy!
