25mm French 1st Guard Lancers

1st Guard Lancers 25mm With lockdown coming to the end soon given a fair wind and a bit of luck. A few more shows will be happening and with lots of goody’s to buy . But roll back few months in my toy cupboard 25 unpainted 25mm Hinchliffe figures of French Guard Lancers and only a few horses. Having the 2nd Red Lancers ill go for the 1st Ok ill paint the figures . Started to paint them then the wife how loves to find me jobs to do in the house or garden down comes the paint brush . Our front garden wall ( Cotswold stone) has fell down into the front garden and not in the track(unmade up Road) taking with it just behind 30 foot of trellis and 6 rose bushes . Pick up paint brush paint a bit more . Order skip Skip turns up put wall in to skip . Few day later back to painting ho no what you going to do to replace the wall . Well I been up to the local builders store have ordered the new fence . Its hard being retired . Local model shop dose not have any crimson paint ok I could order it on line but one pot of paint no so its going to be red not crimson. Had a bit of luck my son got hold of some boxed Hinchliffe horses for me yes still in there boxes like there wear in the 70/80s
