I picked a painted Highland battalion on ebay recently too so further basing sessions are required. Obviously another progress post is needed when we get these underway.
Very best wishes,

Christmas arrives unexpectedly early... today!
Popped home to let Birdie the Wonder dog out at lunchtime, she had all but destroyed the leg of lamb bone I left her this morning. All was quiet as Mrs warpaintjj is at Chelsea Flower Show today planning a new terrain set-up - oops - landscaped garden! All three Miss Warpaintjj's were at school so I fixed a spot of lunch and a drink, them popped outside to munch & gurgle in the sunshine. It was then that I spotted two parcels...
Only two people pack & post like this & they both paint toy soldiers. Without checking these are as follows;- on top is a package from Barry Hill in the Philippines, this contains 2 x 36 Vistula Legion, 36 Polish line and 12 British Dragoons for the Peninsular War. Below is a package from Pete Morbey of Elite Miniatures containing a painted British RHA battery also for the Peninsular War collection.

Nothing like boxes of painted figures JJ - very exciting indeed!
ReplyDeleteDamn right Carlo - and now I hear another arrives tomorrow with Bavarian Chevau-legere and light infantry battalion plus a few skirmishers, whatever next?
DeleteWhat fun and the Peninsular collection continues to grow
ReplyDeleteYou got me into this in part my friend! Now I see Eureka do rather good Spanish and British rifles in 28mm, it never ends. I have also bought some more British light cavalry, more plastic Perry Dragoons & some Hussars to do as KGL. Of course the big northern European stuff has to keep up.

Lol very good, I'll look forward to your unboxing ceremony!
ReplyDeleteOk I'll do one just for yo Paul.
DeleteStay pretty.

This is how I love to remember packages turning up in the antipodes during the 70's and 80's. Mainly from Minifigs, Hinchcliffe, Mike's Models and Navwar, but always in brown wrapping paper, slightly dog-eared, covered in stamps, and with the green UK customs declaration label still attached.
ReplyDeleteMind you, I was still at school and the default option back then was 6-8 weeks via sea-mail. I can't wait to see how these have turned out...
Not much changes then Lawrence. I've owned my fair share of Minifigs, Hincliffe, lots of Mikes Models but no Navwar mate!
