Some more of the old stuff I found in the Box of Holding. This time a unit of Dutch Grenadiers of the Imperial Guard. When I was at school I swapped a bunch of my old dinky toy cars for metal wargame figures. I got hell from certain family members about it but 37 years later I still have my wargame models and can play with them. I am sure if I had kept the cars they would be long gone.
Note the hand painted flag complete with ultra fancy fringes. That was pretty cool back in the 70s, especially when practical every other unit in my army, and those of my friends, were made from Airfix French or British plastics and had the one piece plastic figure/flag castings that came in those sets.
The bayonets on these guys are even more spindly and fragile than those on Victrix plastics.
I actually am almost tempted to order a few more of these and paint them to match these to make a unit of 24 figures. They are still available at Hinchliffe Miniatures.
