I began work on renovating and basing theses figures nearly two weeks ago, but I finally managed to finish them yesterday.
They will be useful additions to the 15mm British Colonial army in my collection, especially as it currently has no cavalry.

Nice looking figures!
ReplyDeletePhil,
DeleteCheers! They’ve be patiently waiting to be renovated and based for over twenty years ... and they look good now that they are done.
All the best,
Bob
Very nice Bob- Certainly do like the Colonial 15mm Essex figures. Glad your getting things done during your recovery. Cheers. KEV.
ReplyDeleteKev Robertson (Kev),
DeleteI know that not everyone likes the figures produced by Essex Miniatures, but I do, and once painted and based, I think that look great.
Doing little jobs like this is keeping me busy and helping me to recover from my operation.
All the best,
Bob
There is some satisfaction to finally completing a plan successfully. Well done.
ReplyDeleteRoss Mac,
DeleteCheers! I’m hoping that these will be the first figures that will go on to form one of a number a small PW imagi-nation armies that I plan to put together.
All the best,
Bob
I'm sure that these will be a great addition to your troops! I especially like the pack mule, very useful!
ReplyDeleteBrad DeSantis,
DeleteCheers! I already have a number of pack mules/horses in my collection, and like the fact that they can be used to show an army’s supply column without the need to paint and assemble horse-drawn wagons.
All the best,
Bob
These look marvellous Bob. I particularly like the cavalry in khaki.

DeleteCheers! The Lancers do look good, and once I find their ‘lost’ lances, they’ll look even better,
All the best,
Bob
Hello there Bob,
ReplyDeleteThey look rather dashing and I reckon that you will get a lot of use out of them!
Good to see you cracking stuff out again.
All the best,
DC
David Crook,
DeleteThey fill a gap in the ranks of my 15mm British Army and will no doubt see some tabletop action in the near future.
This short term project has helped to kickstart my modelling mojo ... and I’ve already identified some further figures that can undergo similar treatment.
All the best,
Bob
Hi Bob -
ReplyDeleteAin't it great to get a 20-year-old monkey off your back? These chappies look fine, too. Glancing back through my 'back issues', I noticed your commenting back then you had a backlog of colonial/ 19th C armies to complete...
Cheers,
Ion
Archduke Piccolo,
DeleteIt was great to actually finish basing these figures ... and I already have another batch in preparation! I also have some Prussian and Union infantry to do, and they will form the basis of two more small PW armies.
All the best,
Bob
