It was a rash thing to do, casting a figure that doesn't fit into any of my current collections and visions of rebuilding armies for the NorthWest Frontier or Egypt momentarily danced in my head this afternoon.

Luckily, the thought of the time and energy required and the lack of anywhere to store them, let alone display them, not to mention all of the unfinished collections I a want to work on, soon quelled that idea. I should be able to find room to display a few single figures or vignettes though, just for the heck of it.
Rebuilding armies for NWF sounds like a good idea. I think about it often...
ReplyDeleteThe only NWF I ever contemplated was a start on a 1st Afghan war skirmish in 54mm I started in the late 90's (when I bought this mould ). It was supposed to tie into the Mutiny but the difficulty on getting affordable figures crossed with falling for 40's led it to oblivion.

ReplyDeleteWelcome to my world.
I am waaaaaay ahead of you young feller.
DeleteAh 1 the siren call of the new project - tell me about it .
ReplyDeleteNo, just a desire to have at least one figure from each of my moulds. No room of an army for each set!
DeleteGreat figure be he the first of many of on his own on display.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna need more shelves!
DeleteLovely Sepoy figure Ross!
ReplyDeleteHe did turn out rather well.
DeleteRoss Mac,
ReplyDeleteHe does look quite magnificent now that he has been painted and varnished.
All the best,
Bob
I had forgotten how well they painted up.
DeleteRoss, I like the casting, and very nice paint job. If you decide to raise a British Raj army it will be fun to see it forming up.
ReplyDeleteMichael
Not even a glimmer of hope that that will ever happen I'm afraid.
DeleteAnother vote for NWF. The project we need.
ReplyDeleteLuckily for me, this is not a democracy!
DeleteIf I ever turn back towards the Khyber, it'll be 1839-42 in 40mm,
