Indian Army from a rare early set. J

West Indie Regt. Painted in Britain's style with "google" eyes. I have not done any molding or casting in two years. I do have other sets I have primed. J

Impressive parade!

How about the four standing figures in the background, the Highland, the Napoleonic cuirassier and the other two, what's their origin? I almost thought they might be out of Tradition's catalog.

Prost!

Those four are early K&C glossy guys. John

The four K&C are Sgt. Major and three Napoleonics. J

John, it is because of you ,that I started to collect the old style glossy soldiers again..Grew up with them, but drifted to the dark side ( matte ) for awhile..I cannot paint as well as most on this forum, so if some of your stuff should ever need a new home ( Sudan set, Naval Brigade hint..hint..)let me know...Love your collection, everytime you show them...Michael

 

[Leadmen]

Thank you Michael. I would let you know if I decide to downsize. John

Wonderful work,,I had a past business .part of which was restoring old Britains etc for some local fla collectors,also how I could afford to collect in the past so I bought up every bad shape old glossy I could find,,now of course they no longer seem to be around and I belive a few shops in england sell restored Britains in red boxes,,Of course I never sold a restored-repainted figure as genuine.. The high light of those times was doing three 1890s Cavalry ,totally broken w no paint,series 1? to the request of the collector friend as new.

Hi John

Do you do your own castings? If so please drop me a PM or an email.

Great looking sets!
