When you consider the time in which these were originally made the quality of the sculpts is remarkably good. Anatomically reasonably correct with pretty good detail. As reissues, it looks as if the molds have lasted pretty good as well. Nice figures.

I have this set there nicely sculpted. I needed the wounded guys for my artillery diorama. The flag bearer I reworked by cutting away the flag and inserted a brass rod for the staff for the flag. The fellow with the ramrod and the belly is ridiculous and looks like a bad reenactor. I’m very impressed with your painting. Good job.

@carlclink9993 Ай бұрын

Nice paint job . The fellow resting his carbine on his forearm is ridiculous. Noe if one adds an arrow through his hand or blood as if he’s wounded,then I could see him aiming like that. Just my opinion.

@marklinnane1744 Ай бұрын

Thank you 👍. I see your point regarding that particular figure. Some of the figures in the set look like they are based on figures from the brand King and Country. That figure being one of them. The King and Country equivalent has a bandage on his hand which does make more sense.

What a good paint job you have done, if I were you I would stick to using acrylic paint as the solvent in the enamel paint weakens the plastic making it very brittle. The figures I painter the guns kept breaking of as a slight touch. I gave all my paint and unwanted fantasy figurines to someone who lived at my last home.

@ronaldmcdonald8303 2 ай бұрын

@marklinnane1744 I only use enamel on metal soldiers. I got some aluminium soldiers from France and I used white spirit and steel wool to take the old paint off, then I painted them in a silver enamel paint 🎨. Have you ever heard of BMC toys? You don't happen to know where I can buy tin soldiers do you by any chance?

@marklinnane1744 2 ай бұрын

Sorry I don't know of any toy soldier site that sells tin soldiers. I suppose EBAY would be the best place to look for them. I know of BMC ,I have a couple of their sets.

@ronaldmcdonald8303 2 ай бұрын

@marklinnane1744 I just checked out ebay and tin soldiers are over £50 per figurine. I don't think I can afford that 😕. Thanks for the suggestion, I will just have to look round some old antique shops for some.

Splendid paint work , enjoyed the comparisons also...factory paint jobs on Britains Deetail can be a little crude but there sculps a decent enough for a re work on the paint!............I know Paragon and TSSD did Native Americans ... But yeah strange nothing from Waterloo 1815, I suppose there is Airfix and i think CTS may have done some Indians that are more in the traditional 54mm size.

@marklinnane1744 2 ай бұрын

Thank you. Hopefully waterloo 1815 will do Indian sets at some point. If not , Airfix , CTS and BMC Indians would suit.

Im still struggling to buy any of this set. I found these in Canada. They have all sets of original and re issue versions. Some have just the horse riders other just the unmounted or to both in the 24 pieces or 25. Im in Australia so to buy any the price is extremely expensive. The full set of original is way over AU$200.00+. The smaller set of 12 pieces just under $200.00 AU. Re issue dark blue figures $160.00+. Its either i just buy or forget about them all together. Back to your Cavalry painted they look great. Your fortune to be able to get those. Not available in Australia.👍🇭🇲✌️

Very nicely done figures. They would go well with Airfix 7th Cavalry. Thats the first I've seen of this item. I don't even have the Airfix 7th Cavalry. Im struggling to find any of those here in Australia. Most of the Airfix Cavalry ive seen only in US , Canada and UK but mostly in US. The cost is high especially for a complete set. That's the Airfix i speak about. Love your figures and the different coloured painted doubles. It gives a sence of unique individual soldier. I missed the brand you have there. I'll check that out again. Those look great.👍🇭🇲🦘🐨✌️

To add diversity to the figures, it could be also possible to swap heads and modify some arms' poses. Finally some producers that doesn't give to Indian wars' soldiers the sabres, that generally weren't carried on campaign.

I also used British infantry carved down to use as early war highlanders with kilts. For the Germans I used a mixture of HaT and Strelets, horse foot and artillery.
