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!
