Those were great figures in their time, and you've made them look great again! |

Diced hose in 1/72. I love it. |

Wow, great paint job…you would never guess they were the old Airfix figures. |

Those look grand! The first unit I ever painted, back in the early 1970s, was the Black Watch made from the Waterloo Highlander Airfix set. I still have them but they are very brittle now and I'm scared to do anything to them after breaking a couple. Jim |

Nice again, Paul. I am sorely tempted to make up a unit of both now, for nostalgia. I like the more modern versions, but I do have a lot of these floating around so would be worthwhile. Thanks for the inspiration |

Really nice work. I do not have that much talent now, and had even less 25-30 years ago when I painted my Airfix 1/72 Highlanders. |

Yeah, I always liked those figs. Still have a bunch of them. |

Airfix we salute you! All those happy glorious memories from long carefree younger days! You have done a sterling job on these little gems, they look so much better then the figures I painted and gamed with. |

Mine are still my favorite unit in my army, I have more than were on the ORB but it is my army and I like them. Also back in the day it was hard to find much variety in our local hobby store. |

You made a good job of them … I have a few awaiting refurbishment – we quite often ignore the older sets but you have reminded us how good they can look with a bit of effort  ! Phil |

Always nice to see these old figures, especially when they're painted so well.
I collected plenty of Airfix figures as a boy but it was the Napoleonics that got me painting and gaming. |

Knock those old sets all you want. When given the attention any other figure gets you get an awesome product. Makes me want to buy a set for fun. If I only had the time. It is amazing how those 'awkward poses' breathe life into a diorama. |
