Reinforcements Ride In
I didn't manage a game this weekend but I did make time to cast 3 heads and convert 3 more Britain's Light Dragoons into US cavalry.
Good thing they aren't the next Troop.
Good thing they aren't the next Troop.
Born and raised in the suburbs of Montreal 7 decades ago. Began playing with toy soldiers at 5 years. Started painting & converting at about 12 yrs and wargaming about 15 yrs. Never really stopped.
5 years in the Black Watch of Canada Cadets, 5 years at the Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean followed by 4 in the navy. 25 years with CPC in IT simultaneous with 23 years running a boarding kennel. Inherited my love of toy soldiers from my mother's father. Married with a pack of litle Italian Greyhounds and a cat. Prematurely retired and enjoying leisure to game, maintaining our 170 yr old farmhouse and just living.

Nice job on the head swaps.

Thanks. One of them managed to tilt his head while the epoxy set without me seeing.
DeleteHave to admit I liked that show.
ReplyDeleteMe too although I rarely got to see it, neither of the 2 Canadian channels we got carried so I only got to see it when visiting a friend or family with a rooftop antenna that picked up US stations.
DeleteI have been away from your blog for too long, mea culpa. I quite admire these troopers, galloping through the Annapolis Valley. All that's missing is Garry Owen playing in the background.
ReplyDeleteI can't see the YouTube screen through the Army firewall at work but I am guessing it is F Troop, which I remember fondly.
You are forgiven. I hope you scrolled back through s month of inventing Canadian history. And yes its the opening from F troop.
DeleteWhat a fabulous first picture!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteHi Ross,
ReplyDeleteThe guy with the cocked head looks like he's trying to remember something.
"Dammit, now where did I leave that hemorrhoid ointment...?"
Now you have to do F Troop so you can have a Corporal Agarn figure.
Regards,
John
There is a strong family resemblance to these guys, or maybe its just the hat which I chose for that reason.
