Thanx Simon
I have NEVER heard of this company before... what an amazing hobby we are in
The range looks pretty extensive and ideal for Sedgemoor, Ireland and I think Flanders.
What would be good to know is how they measure up to
Dixons
Foundry
Stratagem
in size terms.
Difficult to judge exactly how well the figures would paint up - the ones on the site are fairly well done but I'd like a closer look.
Anyone else ever used/bought these?
I must say I have never
1. Seen an advert
2. Seen them at a show
3. Heard anyone mention them
4. Seen them reviewed
5. Read a thread on the net
Very strange indeed
By the way, wanted to throw my two penneth in on the 'fashion' thing. I don't wholly buy this idea of not being able to wear clothes from an immediately prior 'fashion' phase. You only have to look at what poorer people in third world countries are wearing now to see that in many cases it was what we were wearing 15-20 years before.
Remember, the guys who were fighting in Ireland were probably the poorest of the poor. Destitute people who were tenant farmers, bondsmen,peasants with little to eat, little if any collateral and no weapons. I think the subject of 'long or short' coats is a bit of a blind alley.
These guys probably stood in the line barefoot, breeches and shirt, perhaps an overjacket or blanket, maybe a short labourers coverall. You don't work the fields in a long coat! The odd regiment would probably have had uniforms but James couldn't even equip his men with weapons !!
I say, use ECW types as long as they don't have any extremely obvious dress throw backs to the period before ECW.
A final word.... Corporal Jones turned up at the first Walmington on Sea muster with a spear from the Sudan I believe!!
So rests the case for the defence
