I have been painting some figures for a friend and with the money earned I decided to put a bid on these chaps on eBay as a potential birthday present to myself.(my other birthday presents being of a more essential nature -socks and a new fleece top)
Nobody else seemed interested in them and much to my surprise I won them (I decided I wasn't getting into a bidding war)for £36 including p&p which I thought reasonable
They are 54mm by Steadfast Soldiers - a firm I haven't heard of before and beautifully painted in enamels . An unusual subject and as I haven't deployed a Machine Gun on the tabletop before, potentially a shock for 'Blue Army' when they confront it !

Very nice birthday present Tony. I'm surprised that no-one else was interested.
ReplyDeleteYes i was surprised as well , only one other bid .
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to you indeed! An excellent choice for an indulgence.
ReplyDeleteYes nicer than socks .
DeleteNow that is a cracking lot to win and at a very good price indeed, lovely little set, really nice.
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen this set before.
DeleteA fine bargain and a fine birthday present ..
ReplyDeleteYes I got lucky there !
DeleteHappy birthday Tony and congratulations on your new Steadfast set! I've always loved Steadfast Soldiers, especially their Boer War range. You got a real bargain and a wonderful birthday present!
ReplyDeleteMust admit I've not come across the range before , nice figures though.
DeleteSelf-gifting: the gift that keeps on giving :) Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteThank you, I like recycling the money back into toy soldiers.
DeleteHappy Birthday! Nothing says happy birthday better than a weapon of mass Blue destruction. :o)
ReplyDeleteThank you , toy soldiers are always a good present.
