For my further colonial adventures I want to raise a unit of Skinner’s Horse (Bengal Lancers).
I’ve tried several options in vain to obtain these. Now this search leads to this blog again, where I was lucky earlier on.
Build, unbuild and (not too..) damaged ones are welcome. As are the parts from the sets. I hope to trade for mutual interesting items.

You might consider trying Armies In Plastic’s figures: https://www.armiesinplastic.com/northwest-frontier-northwest-frontier-indian-army-cavalry-28th-light-cavalry.html
ReplyDeleteExcellent suggestion Tim! On EBAY these run $30-$40 for one figure! AIP Indian cavalry figures are $10 for a box of five!
ReplyDeleteA welcome idea gentlemen. AIP should do the trick when involved in the thick of it. Still I hope to acquire at least a handfull of the Airfix guys. They show off in an other way, if need to be even in reserve, as a distant threat.
ReplyDeleteAIP are easy to paint and excellent figures.
ReplyDeletePrince August (Ireland) still sell / do two home cast moulds 54mm - would these be easier to source than rare Airfix ones?

Marcel is very particular about his toys ;)
ReplyDeleteHa ha, I guess I am once in a while. Are not we all. No problem facing that. Greetz, M.
ReplyDeleteThat'a a find building and figure. I'll look forward to watching your progress with this project. I have lots of Armies in Plastic figures for Napoleonics and they are excellent.
