Except that prior to BBI nobody used BB except Mr. Sell, who abbreviates everything! An uninspiring heading, but a simplified one I don't think we've actually had before, and it's a rather uninspired article I'm afraid, unless you're very new to the hobby, in which case you won't even get the Sell reference, but might get a lot, or something, from these images!
I shot the mounted Japanese officer as I was putting them into storage, but the shots didn't add much to what had gone before, so the folder just lay there, I got some more unpainted ones as 'bi-catch' with a lot of British Infantry (the only 1960/70's Blue Box figure I still need from the four sets now, is a decent British mine-clearer, they are always either broken or short-shots!) so shot them again, and at some points I spent a few minutes shooting the mounted figures again - twice!
So there were all these images in a folder, none of which add much to previous posts on the subject, therefore it's not a follow-up, it's not a box-ticker, I guess it's just a Picasa-clearer! I'll throw them up here, move a couple around and with minor captions, let the images tell their own story, remembering to thank Nazar Marchenko who filled the original gaps in my fledgling sample, eight years ago.
Painted officer, mounted
Comparison between painted and unpainted officers
Horses are different colours
More! More officers, more horses, another horse colour
Unpainted set of foot figures from both sides
Random shots and a base-mark with the '3' cavity numeral
Top image is plastic-colour variants isn't it!
Mostly unpainted against a few painted
Must have been a late-in trio?
All the unpainted's from both sides and the officer
With three horses and only two riders, a long term goal is to find a third rider and paint him up, with a set of the infantry.
