Too bad the seller never actually shipped anything. Others had the same issue and he was banned. I got a refund but would much rather have had the figures.

His mounted locotonent <br />is amazing, one to try and find on ebay I suppose, if they are no longer in production.

The Perry 40mm Border range has a few very nice figures including a few civilians. Worth checking out. The Miller range had some great peasants etc but they don't seem to be available anymore.

I'm thinking of collecting 40mm Italian Wars armies, so Irregular will be leading the way, but I'm on the lookout for personalities and dressing,so peasants, a fat cardinal etc. Also some troops suitable as English 1500's. I may come back for advice if that's ok? Not blogging much due to time constraints, but that doesn't stop me planning!<br />many thanks<br />MikeSpringinsfeldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14088330681756351208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-56513006466485528892017-04-24T07:47:45.438-03:002017-04-24T07:47:45.438-03:00Sorry I missed this.

The majority are homecast originals. The next biggest group are vintage plastic from three 60's companies. The smallest group are modern metal from Perry, Doug Miller, Irregular and Sash & Saber and old but still available Meisterzinn homecast molds.
