That is really a great piece Lt. I hope they get around to doing a 24th foot casualty set.

I agree jag it's a great piece and willing to bet that Richard and Ken have something in the works or plan to have in the near future for 2009. Ken's mention he's spent some time with Richard in Chicago and has just returned home so maybe he'll give us some insight on the subject. In the mean time I'm finding it hard not playing with my current figures as you'll see once again in my next photo....The Lt.

Very nice LT,

Ken will be at a show in Michigan next weekend and may have some snaps of a couple of new figures for us to see. It's like waiting for Christmas, but I am sure it will be worth it. :D :D :D
 
Yes its hard to wait. Great shot Lt! Its indeed great to play with the W.B 24th and Zulus I am gradually building my Zulu army and hope to get more 24th reinforcements also for my Drift soon. Then I will take more pics. :D
 
Happy Birthday Scott​

Looking forward to seeing the figures you got for your birthday and I'm sure it didn't take you long to open them unless you had to wait for a short while......The Lt.
 
Thanks LT........no parcels from Natal as of yet. Hopefully later tonight.

I think the birthday gift to myself will arrive later this week.

Extremely relevant and very valid comment Spitfrnd. In my 15 years of collecting a consistent 54mm scale has caused me far more grief than cost/paint finish/poses/troops I would like but nobody makes etc. etc.

"New Britains mattes" are always a consistent size whether cavalry mounted troops or infantry-(well they are in my boring army of Rebs and Yanks) and as I do not have a single glossy in the collection I was really surprised at the difference in scale to a 54mm matte as seen in Joe's picture. I had not noticed that before as they have got to be closer to 1/35" rather than the old 1/32".

But as Randy posted if that's what you collect what the heck! What does really annoy me is when manufacturers state 54mm or 1/32 scale when any collector worth his salt and as soon as he sees them or picks them up clearly knows they are not.

Hi:cool:,

This post just about sums up my woes on the subject of the sizes of figures.

The use of Scale eg: 1/32 and 1/35 should be abandoned by manufacturers altogether.

The actual Size of the figure should be stated in either mm or inches eg 54mm or 2.25 in.

It must be industry standard that the size of the figure is measured from eye level to the base of the boot.

Raymond:).
 
Scott it's nice to see that you've furnished the Hospital for the additional incoming members of the 24th as well as the biscuits boxes soon to be used in the defence of the Mission Station......The Lt.

The troops have arrived at our local post office, unfortunately I will not be able to retrieve them until tomorrow after work :mad: On the upside though they will arrive at my Mission Station on the 22nd which is kind of neat. Just in time to be taken from their boxes and thrown right into the thick of things. :D
