Unfashionably Shiny: Fantastic Soldered Soldiers
http://unfashionablyshiny.blogspot.com/2014/05/fantastic-soldered-soldiers.html
Thumbing its' nose at black undercoat and matte varnish. Sunday, 4 May 2014. The above are a sample of the British Legion dragoons Doug Mason created for me last year. Despite there being only 2 castings in the Hinchliffe range (an officer and trooper) Doug has created a unit of 24 figures where each is different. Of all the conversions i think the trooper with pistol and dangling sword is my favourite, and something of a Mason trademark. Beautiful work Doug. Mr Mason is a very talented chap!

Unfashionably Shiny: July 2013
http://unfashionablyshiny.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Thumbing its' nose at black undercoat and matte varnish. Saturday, 27 July 2013. Right lads, they want a kitchen extension, conservatory, and oak floors throughout. In more ways than one - the Black Company of Pioneers was one of the first all black units of ex-slaves raised during the AWI. Most loyalist units were mixed, and these chaps too were eventually integrated into the Guides and Pioneers. These loyal servants of the King are conversions of Connoisseur Egyptian artillerymen, tools by Minden.

Lovely! 5 July 2015 at 07:58. The licensing laws must be upheld - all power to the shiny redcoats! 5 July 2015 at 12:51. 12 Ju...

Thumbing its' nose at black undercoat and matte varnish. Thursday, 23 October 2014. What's that coming over the hill.
