New recruits for the Airfix ACW Project bought at the 42.Plastikfigurenbörse, Herne.
I haven´t counted them but it was a bit of a bargain, €15 for around about 500 bods, horses and wagons.
In the bags there´s the marching poses, 40 plus Union, 20 plus Confederacy, 20
1st issue airfix foriegn Legion which will end up as Zouaves. The bods from the first issue set compare better size wise and scupting to their ACW companions. Also a near complete set of US cavalry. The pile of Shooting, running etc will end up being used for/as conversions.
4 new artillery pieces plus two complete limbers. The limber with the broken trail I can use as a cassion and the spare wheels will come in usefull.
In the bag there´s a full set (including the accessories) of the Airfix Wagon Train set! A quick Stress test Shows None of this copy of the set is suffering from plastic rot!
That is a good haul to keep you busy Paul.
ReplyDeleteI`m glad that the plastic is OK too.
The Foreign Legion. Opps! you converted the Fort.
Wagon train wonderful memories that set invokes. Greetings BB
That is a result!
ReplyDeleteThey should keep you going for a while. Looks like a bargain.
ReplyDeleteSeeing your figures reminds me that I need to get some more of my ACW plastic Spencer Smith painted.
