Our daughter Kate will be coming home this weekend from college, and I'll see if I can talk her into using her digital camera to take some shots of the Spitzen Polish Musketeers in their latest version. I feel like fellow wargamer Greg Horne. He latched onto some Stadden figures he had wanted forever, and when they finally arrived, he got nervous about doing a good job with them.<BR/><BR/>In the final analysis, the only ones we have to please are ourselves. I agree with Jeff, "Perfection is overrated. Get them painted and on the table!"Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09440393996804815125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139641242751148091.post-75361330631149597612008-02-25T15:42:00.000-08:002008-02-25T15:42:00.000-08:00Isn't it a joy to finally egt your hands on all th...Isn't it a joy to finally egt your hands on all those toys we couldn't afford at the time?<BR/><BR/>Here in the UK Scruby always seemd to make more interesting types than we could buy here (anyone for tonkinese irregulars) but in those days of postal orders and shipping charges he might as well of been on the moon.<BR/><BR/>I have just started an army using the old British manufacturer Les Higgins, someone has resurrected the moulds over here. Eventually I hope to buy a 19c French army of Scruby figures in order to fight a French invasion of England in the 1860's.<BR/><BR/>I am enjoying the blog, thanks.<BR/><BR/>Johnjohnpreecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05548014163096067684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139641242751148091.post-49118335055185830162008-02-21T20:34:00.000-08:002008-02-21T20:34:00.000-08:00Hi Jeff,I think ol' Jack's figures would fit in pr...Hi Jeff,<BR/><BR/>I think ol' Jack's figures would fit in pretty good with the Ral Partha castings, but then I've never been bothered by a one or two millimeter difference between figure lines. Patrick Lewis of the "Old School" site has a picture of some SYW figures in his picture files.<BR/><BR/>Mr. Mike Tabor, the owner of HistoriFigs, also has some sample packs available, so you can see them with the ol' Mark One Eyeball and determine if it would be desirable to order more, without having to break the bank or hock the silverware.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for posting their URL. I hope it sends a lot of business their way. This excellent line of miniatures came dangerously close to extinction once, it would be a shame if it happened again.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09440393996804815125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139641242751148091.post-12588107550737811582008-02-16T07:03:00.000-08:002008-02-16T07:03:00.000-08:00I'll echo the cries for a photo or two. :)I'll echo the cries for a photo or two. :)Snickering Corpseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11207827630539622815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139641242751148091.post-17029728147627913792008-02-16T04:55:00.000-08:002008-02-16T04:55:00.000-08:00Hi Martin,How about a photo or two of the regiment...Hi Martin,<BR/><BR/>How about a photo or two of the regiment?
