  5. Beautifully painted but surprising how unimpressive the sculpts are compared to the other Aifix Naps.

  6. You did well to keep your concentration with so much repetition. They look good, all the more as a group.

  8. They look a lot better than the expensive metals and are anatomically correct.

    But only so many types are available, forcing conversions and substitutions.

    We used to substitute the 1776 British Grenadiers for the grognards, because this was a later set and did not yet exist, before my hobby shops all went out of business.

  9. Thanks :-D
    @Dean...the guy is holding his poor bandaged head...it does look like he´s lost it from the photo :-D
    @ Gary...no problem..I´ll lift the copy right on them for you...give my blog a mention and it´s fine for you to use them :-D
    I´m not bad at painting but no way one of the best...thanks anyway :-D
    Just a mo...Van gogh?...I´ll need to cut off an ear now!! :-D
    Plastic soldiers made in Germany? In 1/72nd, Prieser, Revell and and...er? that´s it I think
    @Mekelnborg..these days there are sooooo many troop types in 1/72nd plastic for the napoleonic wars it´s unbelievable!! If you´ve got a couple of hours look at Plastic soldier review (linked here). The amount of plastic bods has increased at a frightening rate, one reson for me getting back into the hobby.

  13. Thanks James..
    I used to game with them, WWII and Napoleaonic, the old 1970´s Newbury rules...these are bods from 30 years ago with a new paint job. I´ve still got a couple of thousand of them..if I ever get to painting them i doubt it.
    My aim at the mo is to paint up and start a medieval fantasy game with a city and medieval armies etc..an attempt to combine at least 3 of my projects into one.
    Cheers
    Paul
