In my previous post I was talking about the repairs and repainting of the 5 Britains Greek Evzones I bought , the problem of course was that I needed at least one more figure to make up a 'small' unit for AGW rule (6figures). I did a search on eBay and found that 'bigboycollctibles' had some for sale , so I kept an eye on them and as nobody was really interested I managed to get them for under £3 a figure which was a bargin and they where in better shape than the original ones I got and so didn't need repairs or a repaint - 'Happy Bunny' !!!
The strange thing was they came with an Officer type figure (well brandishing a sword which in my book = Officer), now Britains didn't do an Officer figure for their set - he's a hollowcast figure - the paint job looks moderner/repaint ? and he has no markings on the base ? - VERY puzzling indeed !. I must try and find out who made him , going to glue them onto bases to match my others , update to follow .....
Great recruits to your army, whatever make your officer is he matches the Britains ones really well.
ReplyDeleteYes he does , he's a mystery?
DeleteFunny how serendipity can provide--such good fortune clearly must be the product of clean living.
ReplyDeleteThink it got lucky, also being an unusual subject probably not as popular as some others.
