Yes, we now know that having the Parliamentarians all in pots is hardly accurate, nor is the uniformity of the units – but it does make it easier to tell the sides apart!

Very nice Peter! I own a bunch of these same figs. I think I'll be tiring my Cavalry though in favor of my Warlord ones.

Thanks,

Most excellent! Minifigs have a charm all their own. Thank you for sharing your photos of your painted figures.

Hmm – they look OK don't they. I wonder if my project to expand my Fathers Hinchcliffe Penninsular forces will turn out so well ?
