What Toy Soldier items Have You Acquired in The Last 2 Weeks ? (3 Viewers)

I don't know if this counts, as I must have purchased the figures a couple of years ago, but I didn't realize that I had Trophy set GW21v, the WWI German Pioneer Flame Thrower Squad until yesterday (it was mixed in with other Trophy WWI German sets on my WWI diorama):

I have completed the painting on 3 of the 75mm Hinchliffe kits that I have in my stash of castings ....

I think I have another 4 kits to assemble and paint, and will show them off soon.

This weekend I have completed another 3 figures ....

Biting a cartridge, officer in shako and Grenadier with bearskin.

One more figure to go, another biting a cartridge, but wearing a bearskin and bicorn is on the back of his pack. I may choose to place the bearskin on the ground and leave him bare head?

A couple of week's back I got some more French Napoleonic Staddens from a local collector.

Last year I got a dozen from him, and have now 'persuaded' him to sell a some more that I had wanted.

I'll post images when completed, but you can already see that I have painted 2 Dragoons.

Nice figures, I have a few in my collection, but these are well painted, maybe need a dusting ??
