Saw on someone’s blog , can’t remember where, the cunning plan of using Del Prado cavalry for 54mm gaming. An excellent idea I thought and sent for these off eBay, for a very reasonable price. They are sold as Turenne but will serve as 1688 cavalry. A wee sash paint job and weapon change is all they need
Currently reading. The book came today and is an excellent read.
Origin have just opened a new coffee shop in Edinburgh in College Street. In fact it opened today. Well worth a visit
The beech hedge has finally got some green on it at last. I’m not surprised it was reluctant to arrive due to the weather we have been having.
A wee thought for May Day…
P.S finally got round to watching the remake of “The Wicker Man” last night. What a disappointment! Not a patch on the original at all!
I too saw the Del Prado post, it's on 20mm Crimean War Wargaming and other stuff, it's a great idea and one I would have never thought off. With a bit of paint they are totally changed and should look great on the table.
ReplyDeleteAh, so that’s where I saw it, thanks for telling me. I painted the coats yesterday and may tackle the weapons today. They are to fit in with my Alexander’s toy soldier collection in 54/60 mm.

I've got and read the Sch-Hol book too and agree it's a good one.
ReplyDeleteIt's rare that I get tempted by the larger scale figures so will pass on that one.
Thanks for the May Day message.
Today is the Dos de Mayo but perhaps not the day to drink the health of Murat.
