I've got around to sorting out the six mounted figures I bought and here they are resplendent in the sunshine.
I didn't repaint them , just touched up any damage - which there wasn't much and gave them another coat of gloss varnish.
I had to think of a way to add bases to them as they fall over very easily on 'the Tabletop of Mars' . I've tried several different methods , none of which were a success - then I hit on this idea , which I call the 'Carousel' method - I drilled a hole in the stomach of the horse and fitted a cocktail stick , then I drilled a hole in a sutable base which the stick is glued into . It seems to be working so far .
This chap has a rather purple face - to many ports maybe ?
Another view of the 'Carousel' method of basing .
This figure is I think a modern recast as he is solid metal - had to use a bigger base to fit the horse . Someone has taken a lot of trouble adding the flowing feathers to his Topee from thin pieces of metal foil !. These figures will be appearing in various guises of command in the future on 'The Tabletop of Mars'
