A Fixture
Well, a nice surprise for me this morning when the postie dropped off Richie's new figure set
"Steady Lad" (1879 Miniatures) & so here is a quick overview of the set!
All the castings are great (by Steve Readie of ReeDees figures) so no issues there & the mould plugs are easy to remove. Initial trail fitting looks promising with little work to fit & a few raise mould lines to remove with a file but nothing too taxing!
No instruction sheet was present but one in production for people like me whose only knowledge to 1879 African wars is 'Zulu' & Zulu Dawn'
So, because of a recent eye issue earlier this year had knocked me back, it was time to 'get back into the saddle' & try to kick-start the figure painting again!
So, another great figure set for 1879 Miniatures & I will start to assemble this set tomorrow & I will keep you up to date!
