SPECIAL THANKS. I would like to thank Paul Watson for his sponsorship of several lead figure collections on this blog. Having decided to clear his spare/surplus figures, he generously forwarded them on with no other requirement than they deserved to be restored. I would also like to mention George S. Mills, who kindly furnished a quantity of plastic figures which greatly enhanced several collections.

ROYAL ARTILLERY AND COASTAL GUNS c.1880

On the previous post I'd mentioned the two W. Britains AA guns needed a complete reconstitution if they were to have any value. Yesterday I completed the work converting them into coastal artillery. Serving with these artillery pieces are my converted plastic guardsmen,  representing Royal Artillerymen.

(Campaign news. This coastal battery will now take up position on Vancouver, British Columbia.)

  3. The battery looks very impressive, and you'd never think the crew started life as plastic guardsmen.

    1. Brian, those plastic guardsmen can be great value, and the odd bandsmen can be easily converted into artillery crews.
