Nicely done! What figure did you use for the AA man? Some of the old Airfix 1/32 vintage car kits are also suitable for these kids of dioramas. Scott

Ah! Badajoz!:) Nice work Victor. Scott

Very nicely done. Good to see some figure conversions. Scott

Indeed. I can see Hinchliffe CS22, the Spanish infantryman sitting on the barrel with the bottle. Valiant Miniatures Brunswick Hussar officer and Rose Miniatures Caron d Hevilley. There are a couple of Victorian era British officer figures in there as well. I think they are Ensign as mentioned...

They are fantastic Andy. I think the image of the Lancaster has been labelled wrong. It should read 460 Squadron RAAF, not 46. Scott

Having a look through the British Order of Battle for the campaign on Wikipedia it lists eight Can-Am motorcycles used by the Commando Logistics Regiment- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_ground_forces_in_the_Falklands_War They look like the bike in the images-...

I, wonder if they were BSA WD B40s. A little long in the tooth by then but the general shape looks right. Were they paras or signallers? Scott

I've had similar problems and have had to strip the paint off and start again. I have found that some types of paint (acrylics and metallics in particular) react with gloss coatings. I have had the paint haze, go milky and in the case of metallics the paint has run. It can be a bit of trial and...

Flood, That other figure looks to have been restored. I think they have mounted the original figure on a larger base so that the figure is more stable. You could have a go restoring your figure. The bayonet would not be difficult to replace. Several years ago a fellow forum member kindly sent...

Give it a clean with some soapy water and a toothbrush and see if any of the original paint remains. Nice find.

Some lovely early figures there Victor. Some manufacturers new to me. Along similar lines there was a thread recently on the Britmodeller Forum where a member posted his collection of Indian Mutiny figures (see post 4)-...

I think it is a good idea. Remembering that resin figures, vehicles and building kits have been around for a while it is only the printing process that is different. It does seem popular in war gaming and I have seen many figures, buildings and vehicles on the Lead Adventure Forum. The printed...

Well done identifying them.

This is a tough one to crack. I'm leaning towards the Rifles due to the pockets. I have learnt that Royal Corps Signals Band, South Yorkshire Yeomanry Brass Band and several Canadian army bands all wear busbys but the uniforms do not match perfectly. I guess if you get stuck you could always...

Just throwing in the RAF Band for further investigation. Another band that wore busbys. Scott

Try some fine metal rod from a hobby shop for the shaft and shape some Milliput for the spear end. Sand the spear end to the right shape, prime and paint. Scott

Very nicely painted. You know there is a Boer War nurse figure that goes with the Imperial Yeomanry figure? https://forum.treefrogtreasures.com/showthread.php?75293-Help-identify-this-Nurse&highlight=imperial+yeomanry Scott

It was also sold by New Hope Design as NH33. See Mirof's New Hope catalogue of 2013 (p.5) https://www.mirofsoft.com/nostalgia-old-catalog-pdf/ Scott

Definitely Deauville. I have a casting of the nurse with instructions. These figures were sculpted by Roger Saunders. Scott

Hi John, I think the nurse was made by Deauville Miniatures. See the image above. The soldier is Deauville's Imperial Yeomanry figure. I have a feeling the nurse was also sold as a New Hope Figure. Scott
