New 42s...

... Regiment Nr 1:


Irregular. A rather fine 'march attack' pose.


Generic. Imagi-war, late 19th Century - pre-1914 period. Somewhere Mittel Europa, or Balkans (no, no, not England in the early 21st century!)


And...


This first rate artillery officer, in classic toy soldier pose.

  1. That is a classic pose Stephen. Nicely done.

    1. Yes, if one was so inclined it would be possible to build a great collection of binoculars/arm up officer poses.

  2. Nice figures - I'm a big fan of Irregular 42mm

    1. Yes, they've got that spirit of the old school, but often with enough detail to be painted up in a modern fashion. Top banana!

  3. Great looking unit and I would like to see a photo of one of your chaps beside the Guinness steam lorry.What make is the steam lorry by the way?I too have been thinking of 40/42mm figures of late and have taken the plunge.Table top rather than floor Little Wars is the order of the day at present I feel.

    1. Cheers, Alan. It's a Matchbox, from the mid-1980s - plenty on ebay. Table top is just the ticket - no bad back/knees, you can leave the set up out, and the terrible 'foot mortar' is no longer a danger to the figures.

  4. I do like that brown and blue combo. Reminds me of swoppet Confederates in butternut.

    Like the lorries too!

    1. I hadn't thought of that ! Although I was really a cowboy type - too much High Chapperall, The Virginian etc etc
