I don't have many, and for many years my 36 French guys were relegated to garrison duty, but they have been fully restored to front line service. My Brunswickers Have always formed their own corps.<br /><br />Your remark in respect of their being modelled on Hinton Hunt figures tends to confirm my impression that a job lot of rather rough figures I bought many years ago at a bring-and-buy were probably pirated from HH originals. They were supposedly Bavarians, but I made them into Austrians.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />IonArchduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7538035190723791338.post-21020696763797348372017-07-01T12:58:57.771-07:002017-07-01T12:58:57.771-07:00Now there's a blast from the past !Now there's a blast from the past !

In the late 1960s on teenage pocket money they were the best you could do though. Well done on that cleanup job - very efficient. i look forward to seeing them painted.<br />ChrisChris Gregghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03585623032053255569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7538035190723791338.post-78138470702370143982017-07-01T12:44:01.424-07:002017-07-01T12:44:01.424-07:00I like Alberkens too, Mark.
