My Britains
Deetail Foreign Fighting Lot and a few wandering Dervish Berbers who were
with them, I hope there's some more somewhere, but I'm not sure where, or if!
I don't know if the Gatling Gun officer has
been put in the base by an owner, or if they were cleared like this (middle
right) by Britains as the Roman charioteer
was, and the assault-boat crew, who turn up on Khaki Infantry bases from time
to time.
One is in a paler plastic (bottom left) and
another has the unavoidable evidence of a stuck release-pin (top right) while
I'm missing a pose . . . standing firing, so better put him on the mental
shopping list for the 14th! You haven't forgotten? You have haven't you! Plastic Warrior Show - all day!
Close-up of the mould release-pin 'monopod', he's my 'elite' sniper! And the method by which the packs were casually attached with a dollop of Evostick!
I only found three poses of Arabian
berserker, so whether I have the others somewhere in another tub or what I
don't actually know, but I'm still hoping the missing Indian colonial infantry
from Cherilea and Charbens might turn-up so there may be another of these boxes
somewhere!
There are two versions of each with either
a long-barreled Arab jezzail weapon (trio above), or a more Western musket (lower figures),
and the fact that I'm missing all the swordsmen/any mounted figures also points
to missing tubs/a missing box? Anyway, that's a box ticked for now.

A fine series that I collected what I could afford on pocket money at the time ... especially the Gatling Gun.
Yeah, I don't have the Gatling yet . . . just the officer! That's another one for the 14th; I'd better start writing them down as I can never remember my 'mental' list on the day!
