Though why it took 2 days longer than the infantry is anyone's guess!
OK, 30 cavalry, quality not brilliant and will need reworking. On the other hand, 30 42mm cavalry that are, at a push, usable now, for a total of £17.29 including postage! New Irregular cavalry are £4.50 each, so to buy 30 would be £135... so who's complaining about quality? - I can live with it.

| 2 units of Prussian lancers, reasonable condition though some work needed on front unit - the head has come off one of them. |

| Front unit more Napoleonic than 1897ish but... |

One problem. At the moment I'm on a 6mm terrain building thing...
Maybe they were meant to be ..White Russians! okok
ReplyDeleteEven if you stripped them all the cavalry and infantry there is no doubt hat that was a great buy.
It's actually saved me quite a bit - I was going to put in an order for some painted Irregular including a couple of guns and about 18 infantry - a painted infantry figure from Irregular works out at £5, so 24 plus 6 gun crew would have been £150, plus the cost of the guns. All I really didn't get here are 8 infantry, so £110 'saved' for a bit over £30 'spent' and a lot extra into the bargain. Time spent searching ebay sometimes pays off!
DeleteSo really happy with it!
