Hinchliffe 25mm Philistine Infantry

 I acquired these figures in a rather poor state, with no weapons.  I thought it would be fun to do them up, giving them some spears and a lick of paint.

They turned out quite well and are off to join my Egyptian army:

  2. Nicely restored figures Bob (even if they don't appreciate culture)

  4. Classic figures, they just don't make 'em like they used to.

    3. i bow to your better knowledge. I only purchased Napoleonics in the 70s. I remember being annoyed that the shop would not break the boxes down and I ended up with 10 Old Guard drummers!
