Sort of like Christmas or birthday...
Today the courier brought the Ottoman Turks from the collection of Eric Knowles. I have really enjoyed opening the wee box’s of old school Minifigs delights. Thanks to D C for facilitating this.
Delighted to help and I am sure you will have a lot of fun with these. I rather liked the old school Tartar Light Horse with the telegraph pole lances!
I am really curious to know what your plans are with these!
I'm sure that Eric Knowles would have been pleased to know his Ottomans have gone to a good home where they will be appreciated and will continue to be used.

I too have purchased some of Eric Knowles' figures - Seven Years War Austrians. I was charmed by the random selection of old figures boxes, and delighted to find Eric's handwritten painting notes for specific regiments in some of the boxes. I think I really must paint them as he has suggested!

ReplyDeleteI look forward to hearing about the painting notes and perhaps seeing pictures of the figures painted. What rules are you intending to use?
