Nice – I shall buy a box or two for the officers, to lead my HaT versions. And the wounded guy is great.

Glad you like them (as I did) my good friend!… (smile)

I am always impressed by the quality of the reviews in this series. Someone knows his/her stuff and is very perceptive.

Who does these?

Why do we only see such reviews for plastics?????????

Imagine "Perrys' new Horse Engineers of the Neapolitan Royal Guard reviewed"……..

Sorry DH. Only followers of the one true scale get these.

But to be fair. Your 28mm figures are easier to see. So you guys can do your own reviews. Plus, our 1/72 don't get a mention in magazines so we need all the help we can get. And we don't see them at shows, and they come in boxes. It's hard on us grin

And sorry if i have missed it. But do you have a proper name? DH feels very impersonal.

Liam Flood, (no relation to the Irish Poker player who features so much on line and died earlier this year RIP.)

I'm a metals fan (but love converting the hard plastics).

Deadhead is something you do to roses, a bad translation of the collar patches on SS and panzer crews, or a fan of a certain West Coast Band, the members of which largely lived up to its name!

I've said it before…and I'll say it again…..15/18mm and 1/72 are generally far better proportioned than so many of the 28mm productions. You guys do not seem to get the Hobbit figures and horses that are all too common in the grown ups' scale…………it is too late for me to change back now, I blame Hinchliffe in 1974 for introducing me to the Dark Side……….

Welll Liam, you lasted longer than I did. I loved Peter Gilder's figures, but could never get mine to look like the ones in the display cabinets (especially when they were Connessieur (sp)). SO I was a Minifigs fan – I prefered the fact that they only had one elbow and knee joint per limb.

Then ABs tempted me.

Then nostalgia caught me.

But I do have some Mindens – lovely figures.
