My latest purchase

[FredG]

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

[Graeme]

Heather flocking, Interesting. If I see a bag of that I just might have to buy it.

[Paul]

Flocking Flowers...sounds like a line from a two Ronnies sketch

[FredG]

Newline Designs latest addition to the 20mm Napoleonic range.

Austro-Hungarian Grenz.





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.

[MABO]

I am looking forward to see them painted.

[Susofrick]

I'm with Jan!

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.

Nice collection Rich W but you have too few boxes of Nappies

[FredG]

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

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

[Graeme]

I'm hoping some of those jump ON the shelf here. Might be time to look in the LHS again.

[Beano Boy]

Yes these figures are from the older larger boxed set Fred G.



but still a good buy even if more sailors seem to be playing golf. BB

This arrived this morning at my door.




I hope to make some nice things of it.

[Rich W]

Ok so maybe not a set of figures, but really pleased to be able to get hold of this book which has been out of print for some time.

[Beano Boy]

Interesting brick walls always make me curious M M, and those look perfect to replicate for ones own use in a lump pump water and soap rubber mold. `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, i hope you enjoy reading it. BB

Bought some things at the FIGZ:













And this one is from Hagen Miniatures:

[deon]

Those Hagen minis are beautiful , but I also see you have Swedes, i must buy some of those also to protect my rocket artillery

[Graeme]

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

[Graeme]

This one just flew in:






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


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

[Peter]

Received some goodies today:









Dragon Sd.Kfz.231 Schwerer panzerspähwagen (8-rad)

Here are my latest purchases from a brilliant shop called Porthmadog Models (see my post about the shop in 'Other' section. I picked up 2 each of the Revell and ACTA sets.
