Picked these up recently for less than a pound a figure. They come with their factory paint job which will do for me very nicely. The top row might serve for 1838 but I am not certain. Any suggestions where to deploy them most welcome. The middle row( with another figure I have already) will make a unit for 1838 along with the Dorset 1830 marines I ordered making another. The bottom row will be added to my Albion army of the late nineteenth century.
Well, you seem quite set on The Patriote War... Have you had a chance to read Graves' book yet? I expect the opposing forces will be arriving...shortly.

Was away at the weekend so had no time. I have read some of the book and found it fascinating. I need to have a good think about the opposition…
DeleteVery nice. The Gordon's (for I am sure Tis them in the second row) look very like miniature versions of the larger than life "kiltie" up at Edinburgh castle!
ReplyDeleteI must have a wee look on my next visit…
DeleteThat is a very nice addition to your collection, I love the factory paint job, cracking stuff!
ReplyDeleteThanks, the paint job more than works for my needs…
DeleteThink they where originally part of a whisky promotion give away (Grant's ?)

DeleteThey were and they do.
DeleteGood buy. Follows both my preferred criteria - cheap and potentially useful!
ReplyDeleteA excellent preferred criteria if I might say so.
