I regularly trawl through eBay to see if there are any suitable items for sale that I can repurpose as armies that I can add to my Belle Époque collection … and recently I’ve had a couple of successes.
The first was described as a '15MM COLONIAL ARMY SUDAN CAMPAIGN CAVALRY INDIAN FOOT ARTILLERY HIGHLANDERS 100+' and I was particularly interested in the Indian infantry, cavalry, and artillery as they will enable me to create at least one more army to go alongside my Hyderaporean army.
The second was described '15MM 19TH CENTURY/CRIMEAN - RUSSIAN & FRENCH INFANTRY, 150 FIGURES WELL PAINTED' and will hopefully form the backbone of my Russian army ... and possibly several other small armies.
It looks as if I will be renovating, varnishing, and basing quite a few figures over the next couple of months!
BOB,
ReplyDeleteThe Russians look particularly good- you certainly will be able to create a great army with these Russian soldiers. All the best. KEV.
Kevin Robertson (Kev),
DeleteThere are also a number of French zouaves that I will certainly find useful.
All the best,
Bob
