Randy,

A fine picture of beauty. Just for incurable romantics.

I just might go out a order this very nice set of the lady painting.

Thanks, Raymond.

:)
 
That is a wonderful set. Thank you for psoting. If I was not married to Trophy I would be phoning ATS today. As Trophy becomes scarcer I will start with them as their figures are great. Where is that young lady's stern looking middle class father to make sure that no low class red coat makes advances on his daughter. She deserves better surely. A nice banker or a minister rather than some rough and ready British soldier.

You may be interested to know that the "Lancer" range by ATS are compatible with Asset's range which contains more civilian figures (and military) from the same period. They mix very well. New from Asset is a punt with gentleman in cap and blazer propelling a young lady with a swan alongside.

Yes, I like that set too Damian.
I tend to plan my collecting strategies months in advance, (over a year in some cases), while keeping a contingency reserve fund for newly released items that I don't want to miss. ATS are definitely coming to the forefront of my long-term future plans.
Thanks for posting Randy - personally, I like those kind of setups for small vignettes.

Yesterday i received my Sergeant walking and i must admit it is better than in the pic! the guys at ATS painted a great expression in the eyes of this old soldier..and instantly became one of my favourite figures!
