The Great Plastics Revival - Airfix Infantry

 Another couple of Airfix units, as I continue to work my way through the enormous plastic mountain.

This time it is a unit of Airfix 'Waterloo French Infantry', painted straight out of the box in basic French colours:

The second unit is of British infantry, again, straight out of the box, but with a Newline metal officer:

I continue to work through these figures in between other projects.

      I do have a soft spot for these old figures and painting them just brings them to life.

      Thank you for your comment Old Nick. I agree, despite their age they do scrub up quite well.

    Great to see them, a real blast from the past for me, I had loads of these back in the day and spent most of one summer holiday painting them although not nearly as nice as these ones! Great memories and they look cracking!
