I try not to buy extra figures for my 54mm Madness , but when these came up on eBay, I kept an eye on them and when they where offered as a 'buy now' deal I bought them - and they were only about £2 each . I have added bases to give them stability .
They are rather well painted and I didn't have to repaint them, they are I think modern re-casts as they are solid castings. I did a bit of research and believe them to be Britains Spanish Infantry , the originals being brought out in the 1920's . I'm not sure which army they will be serving in the future ?
* 54mm Madness is a comment from a wargaming colleague about my collection.
Who could resist? Had I seen them, I might have scooped them up at that rate even though I don't "do" 54mm!
