I decided to set a game up using my 54mm figures as they haven't seen action for quite a while. When sorting the figures out for the game I came across this little chap with his head decapitated - I remember thinking "I must repair him" when I last used them - so I got a matchstick and whittled it down and fixed it with a dab of glue - very H.G. Wells like . I have come across several figures I've bought in repaired using this method .
He rejoins the ranks of Army Blue's Colonial contingent.
Under the steely gaze (well tinny)of their commander General Mouters.
The Army Red force marches past their yet unnamed General - for some reason I've not got around to giving him a name yet ? (suggestions please)
The Field of Battle , Red Army nearest the camera and Army Blue at the far end of the table . Hopefully this game will be played over the coming week.
Wonderful figures Tony. The chap in the first picture has got some neck...
ReplyDeleteI should have repaired him before, but forgot about him.
DeleteIf I'm reading the word-play correctly on the blue general correctly, then perhaps the red general might be "General Quarters".
ReplyDeleteNow that's an idea , gotta love a pun !
DeleteFigures all looking good - I sometimes come across old repairs (esp. shaved Matchsticks) when repairing lead figures.
ReplyDeleteYes it must have been the common way of repairing them.
DeleteThe King's African Rifles have been a favorite regiment of mine for ages! Lovely to see them in action on the tabletop! Thanks a lot Tony!
ReplyDeleteYes they are a bit of a notch potch figure wise to make up the numbers.
DeleteNice little repair and he looks great back with hie comrades. Looking forward to the game, so many lovley figures on show.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to get the 54s back onto the tabletop again.
