Just thought I would add a snap of some new recruits. A superb Britains Foot Guards mounted officer that I have been after for some time plus four factory painted Tradition 7 Years War infantry. Not bad for the price paid which averaged under £10 a figure ( I think Tradition infantry castings are more than that each?)

The painting on the Tradition castings is a bit mixed and the drummer and more specifically his drum needs a little touch up.










I think the del Prado Marlburian dragoon may end up on parade in the local charity shop

Nice haul! I've got a couple of the mounted officer of the 1st Foot Guards myself. The sculpting on the entire range of Redcoats/Bluecoats is excellent. I wish I could get them as castings myself. And less than £10 for the Tradition figures, finished, is very good. You're correct, the individual kit castings are £10.95 direct from Tradition, before shipping. Those are great figures, too. When Tradition brought those out, they filled an empty spot in the market for Seven Years War figures.

Prost!

Absolutely Brad . That Redcoats/Blucoats / Regiments range contains some superb castings and usually all finished to a very high standard. All the mounted officers are absolutely brilliant. The horseflesh is about as good a cast as you can get. You might think it would be profitable for WB to sell the castings. (all the figures were under £10 each - and I have seen that mounted Guards officer go for £40 and more on it's own so am well pleased)

Stay safe everyone,
