Thank you 👍

[@iainclark5964]

God what memories, I remember buying this set in Dudley in 1976!

[@jefthing]

I’ve always said they were lovely Hollywood figures! I still have my originals bought from Johnson & Clarkes in Staines in August 1976.

Great painting. I remember i painted them once when I was in my teens, so sweet memories. Greetings from sweden

[@marklinnane1744]

Thank you 👍

[@rwcowell]

Nice painting on your 7th Cavalry figures. This airfix set would have been a great addition for my Marx Ft. Apache forces when I was a kid. Unfortunately they weren't around back then. I did add some Britain's 7th Cavalry to my Ft. Apache. But they were a little pricey. Cheers!

[@toysoldiernostalgia]

Realy like your paintjob.

[@marklinnane1744]

Thank you very much. Cheers.

Bonjour génial votre collection la finition est parfaite il faut dire qu'AIRFIX est une marque d'exception dommage qu'elle n'est plus vendue en magasin , pour ma part j'en possède quelques uns que je met en scène sur ma chaine mais ils ne sont pas aussi bien peint que les vôtres félicitation je like et je m'abonne a votre chaine

[@chrishorne5855]

[@marklinnane1744]

[@marklinnane1744]

Thank you 👍

[@ftumptch86]

I only have one left from when I was a lad, the one with the revolver. My lads call him the disco cowboy cause of the colours 😂

[@chrisandchriscollectingcar8778]

Great paint job on these. Really brings them to life. Wish I had your talent with the paintbrush.

[@marklinnane1744]

Thank you.

HAVE THE ORIGNAL AIRFIX ,GOT THEM WHEN THEY CAME OUTIN 1976.THEY GO GREAT WITH BRITAIN 7TH. CAVALRY AND MARX CAVALRY.BEEN COLLECTING SINCE THE LATE 60S. GOD BLESS AND BE SAFE

[@marklinnane1744]

Cool. I have some Britain 7th Cavalry too and as you say they go well with them. They also go well with waterloo 1815 Custers last stand sets that were released last year. Cheers.

[@johnlocke5313]

Excellent stuff. Keep up the good work 👍

[@marklinnane1744]

Thank you.

[@davewhite4206]

Excellent job!l

[@marklinnane1744]

Thank you 👍

[@kellysnipe9586]

Beautiful figures! But, as you said, a bit on the pricey side, which is why I never bought any. But I do have the Britains painted plastic Civil War guys including the mounted Confederates which are my favorites. But for simple tabletop play I use the BMC 7th Cavalry, unpainted, along with the BMC butterscotch-colored Indians. They were real cheap when I bought them and I also have a reissued stockade fort to go with them. Nice video!

[@marklinnane1744]

Cheers 👍 thanks.

these airfix minifigures have good detail, also the hand painting is very good, congratulations. it is a pity that they have gone out of production.. I hope one day they will make a reprint.

Great video

[@marklinnane1744]

Thank you 👍

[@Twirlyhead]

Great job on the painting and nice figures; I don't recall this set. They are a very fighty set of poses aren't they.

[@marklinnane1744]

Thank you. Yes they are nice fighting type poses for sure. 👍

[@КостиныСолдатики]

Super!

[@marklinnane1744]

Thank you

[@alessiodecarolis]

One could try to trim the scabbards, given the fact that soldiers generally let the sabres behind at depots before going on campaign, as seen on "Son of the Morning Star" (excellent movie on Custer's last stand), probabilly the bugler/standard bearer was done to save a figure.

[@marklinnane1744]

Son of the morning star by far the most accurate film on the custer

[@MagSeven7]

Mark, another great job! I wondered do you use acrylic or enamel paint? I'e always used enamel but it's getting harder to find so I'm thinking of switchng. I've been very satisfied over the years how enamel has held up and wondered if acrylic wil?

[@marklinnane1744]

Hi Bob, thanks. I use acrylic paint. Citadel and Humbrol Acrylic are the paints I use. They wouldn't be as tough as enamel but they seem to hold up well. I give the figures 2 coats of the acrylic paint after priming them. Then I put on 2 coats of matt varnish to give that little extra bit of protection.

[@borgcash3710]

Great figures and well done on painting too! Are the figures available now from Airfix?

[@marklinnane1744]

Thank you 👍. They aren't available now from Airfix unfortunately .

[@alexblue6991]

I used to like to play with toy soldiers as a boy recently I have been thinking about purchasing some my age now 70yr old I'm I just trying to reliving my childhood is this normal or I'm I just being silly what do the viewers think ?

[@marklinnane1744]

I don't see anything wrong with it. Do what makes you happy.

[@mecongberlin]

I am 59 now and might do the same. Just saw that Airfix reissued the 2 early guard sets, that might have me hooked.

[@marguetnicolas8778]

do you know why these figures can't be used for a little big horn diorama ? because Custer decided not to bring sabers for this mission as they will make to much noise and will help their enemies to spot them.

[@George-pp2hr]

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.👍🇭🇲✌️

[@marklinnane1744]

Thanks. I just happened to get them from the American site Classic Toy Soldiers a few yrs ago,when at the time they were selling the reissues so I was lucky.

[@billfrater1948]

Always found it weird that the flag carrier was also the bugler.

[@marklinnane1744]

Yes not historically accurate.

[@neromartins4436]

ola, como faço pra adiquirir as miniaturas? obrigado

[@marklinnane1744]

Hi,I got them from classic toy soldiers, an American site in 2020. However they don't seem to have them at the moment.

[@mgentile7]

Where is the paint list?

[@marklinnane1744]

I use citadel and Humbrol Acrylic paints. For the shirts I used citadel kantor blue and put a black wash over it. For the trousers/pants i mixed citadel lothern blue and Humbrol Acrylic number 65 to achieve a sky blue colour.
