But, um, none of the rascals from the Republic as yet. Perhaps in time for the 200th anniversary of the END of the war.AlFronthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03309612957773750838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713133878713687741.post-83957002277309810682012-03-22T03:34:00.339-07:002012-03-22T03:34:00.339-07:00'Mired' is the word, Sir!

I have some Revell British rifles waiting to do shift as the Glengarry Light Infantry - a unit of great fame. The other attraction is, for most actions, the numbers involved were, by European standards, small, and one can quite easily field all units involved, often at a ratio of 1:10. As for soft plastics, well no Banana Oil was involved (did that puzzle the entire wargaming world in the 1960s and 1970s?), but a base coat of PVA, which is the key.AlFronthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03309612957773750838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713133878713687741.post-77516416355970574202012-03-21T22:56:23.403-07:002012-03-21T22:56:23.403-07:00Super looking militia chaps on good solid heavy ba...Super looking militia chaps on good solid heavy bases,can we expect a skirmish with them soon?tradgardmastarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116967655904601740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713133878713687741.post-2142591138828357962012-03-21T17:15:31.633-07:002012-03-21T17:15:31.633-07:00Very interesting.

I may steal the idea of using Hats roundhatted Spaniards as militia though.
