2023 was a bit of a rollercoaster with a lot of real life interreference which was a shame as it all started off so well. Sadly, by November even the re-basing of the Gilder figures stalled and the planned solo battle called off completely.
So welcome 2024. While I do not anticipate too much for the first few weeks of the year I can at least give an update on the Classic 20mm ACW collection.
First off the 2nd US Cavalry now touched up (the standard bearer's horse was damaged) and based.
The infantry are all converted HH Napoleonic figures as follows (L to R):
FN/2 French Line Grenadier
BN/20 British Rifles Bugler
BN/14 British Ensign Kings Colour
FN/1 French Officer
DN/1 Belgian Infantry Officer (also see Maryland Guard)
FN/2 once more
Again the FN/2 figures show exactly the same imperfections which leads me to conclude they are a single figure conversion which has then been re-cast.
So best wishes for the New Year to one and all.
These are lovely looking figures Matt…
ReplyDeleteHow do they compare size wise with the likes of Jacklex and Airfix?
All the best. Aly
They are an excellent match to both. Some of the units have Airfix conversions as standard bearers.
DeleteA good start to the year!
ReplyDeleteLong may it continue!
DeleteYou have done wonders with these Matt and I'm really looking forward to seeing more. Well done on your identifications too!
ReplyDeleteIt is kind of fun trying to work out the donor figures!
DeleteSplendid Sir!
