My latest purchase

[FredG]

Just a few new figures.

3 Austrian Infantry Colonels in Bearskin. I'll use one each German and Hungarian. That'll keep Grenadiers and Fusiliers in order.



The second lot I just couldn't resist.

A small group of Pavlov Grenadiers and Command



The two Austrians I'll slot in with the current Fusiliers. The Russians will have to fall into line about 4 sets away (this may alter )

My last purchase.....for me scenes.


Santi.

[Kekso]

Great buy Santi. Roman shields are printed paper or waterslide decals?

[Susofrick]

Bought some more of RedBox LittleBigHorn-figures. Boxer-rebellion??? Ah, remember that! We hid Valter's toys while we had his Rottweiler friend visiting and I was too slow to take them out again! He wasn't happy! Don't see any figure that fit that description in these sets! Bought 1 sprue each from Battalions and Hordes of:

British Royal Marine Light Infantry
Italian Sailors
Austrian Sailors

Most for the casualty-figs, but I can use the rest for something else.

[Carlos]

Buy this


Mistakenly assuming that having the Dingo a Unimog chasis, I could use it to make a unimog in scratch (I spend sometime of my 18 years old in a Unimog and have funny histories abouth it to make some dioramas )



But calculating the real measurements and taking them to 1/72 and comparing with the kit, the wheelbase of the chasis is not the same



So...So buy that kit unnecessarily.


It would be good if Revell make some kit of the old unimog, after all it was a very common military vehicle and it was used in many places...

My plastic Soldier Kickstarter arrived last week.

At long last I'll have some spare drivers for all my vehicles

[FredG]

More Austrians, Jâgers this time.

Here's a selection



I think I'm getting quicker with the painting. However, no matter how much quicker I get at that I can always match it ( or better) with buying new figures.

[Kekso]

I last few weeks:



I needed a break from Nappies

and... Strelets Highlanders on the march :



Peter, unfortunately I didn't got bonus figure

Real nice purchase!

[Kekso]

There was no bonus figure with this set Dali!

Damn, I confused Highlanders on the march with ones on the attack
Shame, I thought to make you happy

[MABO]

I have ordered the new batch of Strelets figures. So I am looking forward to have them in my hands. Good choise, Dalibor!

[Kekso]

Thanks Jan. I wasn't a big fan of Strelets figures before but those Highlanders are amazing.

[Peter]

Shame, I thought to make you happy

Never the less thank you my friend!

Now I must hope that Jan has some spare for me at FIGZ!

Having waited a lifetime ,since 1960, for marching British Regiments,
I bought 8 boxes of each on Model Hobbies £5.86 per box and I saved a Cool £24.96
They will look good on my shelf,and are a long awaited for pleasure.
As they march, I wonder if they can hear the guns?

They are £ 7 .66 per box Model Hobbies on E Bay Free Post

They are also £9.50 Free Post Flagbearer101 E Bay ________Who are they kidding?

E Models would not let me buy in Bulk and so lost my order. I do not suffer fools lightly. BB

[FredG]

From Models 2U they are £6.60 per box less 10% for orders over £40 and post free on orders over £60. I think that's a saving of £1.95 over Model Hobbies.

[FredG]

Got this on ebay. I was the only bidder so it was a very good price.



I've had a few like this. I won a set of these for about £6 a few months ago.

[Peter]

Mrs G was very happy I presume?

I like that second box! Great purchase!

[FredG]

I had permission Peter. Now I just have to wait until she reveals what she wants in return.

I was amazed on that Waterloo 1815 set just how many figures were in it. By the time I get through all my Scots Greys I think I'll have a full compliment of the regiment.

Got all these buildings at a convention flea market for $40
