More Kharkee to settle the appetite!
A set from Bastion Models. British Infantry in khaki c.1890s.
The set features four privates firing independently, two privates porting arms, an officer with a head wound and pistol as well as a bugler.
P.S. I think they are a named Regiment on the box. But it's slipped my mind. I'll be sure to check when I get home.
The theme for this display is"On Foreign Service".
Very nice. You don't often see British Bulldog figures and when you do they are usually as a gun team- a nice batch of figures.
This is a "grail" set of mine. When I was a kid, I had a copy of Andrew Rose' book "Toy Soldiers". Full of photos and great descriptions. Most of the stuff captured in the book are older lines that were before my time.
This boat set is featured on the last page, which at the time featured "new" toy soldiers (c.1980s).
I since learned this was a set exclusive to "Under Two Flags" in London, a store which sadly I never had the pleasure of visiting (or knowing about, other than the mention of it in the description of this set). It features four R.N. Sailors in a launch and four infantrymen c.1870s/1880s. It's a cracking set and I am glad to have it finally!
added a few pics to the gallery 1\72 scale . Enjoy
Very nice
