Flashman has been one of my literary hero's since I first read about his adventures as a teenager . When Wargames Illustrated made a figure in 28mm of the great man himself I had to get one ! and there he sat on my painting tray for several months - till today when I found myself without anything prepared for painting - so I decided to paint him up . I painted him in the uniform of the 17th Lancers , who he served with . He could be appearing in some of my Colonial games in the near future.
Hurrah for Flash Harry, the hero of Jalalabad!
ReplyDeleteA great shame MacDonald Fraiser didn't write more,sadly missing the ACW episode., Tony
DeleteHmm, could be hard to apply the Flasman grip with a saber in one hand. None the less he has the look of a dashing hero (must have just licked up the honey).
ReplyDeleteA true hero in all so many ways, Tony
DeleteA delightful figure. I've always had a hankering for a set of Flashman's, based on the cover drawings of the books. Of course, there'd need to be the ladies as well!
ReplyDeleteThink somebody did some of them - but in an odd scale and I can't remember who it was, Tony
DeleteIt was Chiltern Miniatures, but in a VERY large 28mm, not sure if they still do them, Tony
