The Arabs are massing on the horizon. All 5 of them.

The Foreign Legion are not intimidated

Uh oh - what's this coming over the hill...?

And the horsemen too.....

 

[Eazy]

Ok so where were we?
Oh yeah the Arabs were on the attack

The Foreign Legion decided it was time to blow the trumpet for reinforcements...

Plus they had an ace up their sleeve.

And their own cavalry too...

NICE !!! You have to love the Britains Deetail range

Can I ask are the top two photos of the Timpo reissues?

They are the old versions - I probably got them in the late 70's early 80's.
I've also got a load of Timpo Napoleonics - British, French and Prussians.
They are nowhere near as detailed as the Airfix figures but they have some good poses amongst them.

Hi - if you buy some cheaper reissues of the FFL you can cut the top body half off the bugler and transplant him on top of some mounted legs to create a mounted bugler - I did this once but no longer have the figure.

Great stuff Scott- you've got a good scene going on there. I really like those Arabs - some really good poses especially the flag bearer and the guy at the front with the massive sword!
What make are those? Are they reissued Timpo too?

Two US Cavalry troopers are lost in the badlands of Apache Country.

But they really should be more careful...

It's not looking good.

It's Ulzana's Raid all over again.

If only i had more Cavalry! Especially the Airfix and Deetail ones.

Good thread Eazy and Scott i like your style (massed troops) .
A couple of 24th foot and a Zulu,

Thanks.There are a few Timpos and Contes with Marx Arab riders on Imex horses. I was able to get them cheap instead of the $2-$3 each some shops charge.

Keep it coming. Love those AIPs. Just watched Lawrence of Arabia. On an Arab kick.

AIP figures will satisfy a "The Wind and The Lion" kick. Berbers, foot and mounted. US Marines in field kit. The Germans in covered helmets. You might want to see...
