So I have a "rote kasse" (clutter box)
It had sevral books, some trees, some laser cut hourses from a dead project, random figures from dead and semi dead projects, a hammer a shoe brush a par of sun glasses ect.

I have had a hankering for some 15mm painting, it's been a long while since I did it.

I knew from other times rumaging through my rote box while hunting for other random things. I had a few packs of Old Glory 15s SYW figures. So I went hunting!

I found a open pack of Hanoverian infantry most of the figres spill out into the black hole that is the rote boks. But I got enough out do a unit of 24 figures for Might & Reason. Not a huge fan of Old Glory 15s….

Anyway painted up that unit and it looks okishmehish but it's "free"

I also found an unpoen pack of french and now working on the first unit of french. The french look better then the hanoverians.

The pack of french is just enough to make 2 units.

And I found an unopen pack of british artillery.

But I was currious to see what more I could find.
So I dived into the black hole again. After pricking my self in sevral wirespears and some nails I dug out what felt like 10kg of 15mm figures.

After counting them seperating them I have found enough to make another french unit, a British/hanoverian units of cav and nother hanoverian unit(I might paint that one saxon allies for french as the saxon uniform seem to be in British/hanoverian cut)

In total 135 infantanry and 9 cav.

Value 606NOK almost enough for a stake dinner at a decent resturant.
Or a 15kg bag of high end dog food(enough for a week of dog food for 10 dogs)
or two dinners at a pizza resturant
or almost full tank of disel.

And it was all "FREEEEEEE!!!"

Hey, at least you dug them out before you bought them again. I always find the packs I have stashed right AFTER I have unknowingly re-purchased them.

I don't have a clutter box, I have a room.

No shortage of figures to paint hiding in there
