Ken Innes Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Looks like you've made a good job of them Ratch. However, and this is not a crtiticism aimed at you, they were a very inaccurate and poorly realised set of "Grenadiers". We took what we could get though. Well done.

Ratch Posted April 22, 2022 Author Share Posted April 22, 2022 Not really my era Ken, but from what I've read you're right about their shortcomings in the accuracy department. I intend to see if I can make the next ones from another regiment (if that's possible). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I intend to see if I can make the next ones from another regiment (if that's possible). I've had a look online and I think I can recommend this set It features 16 Grenadiers and 16 "Light Infantry". They're much more accurate and the sculpting is outstanding. The drawback is that there are only 8 poses (4 of each type). It seems that there are a few sets of British Infantry but Grenadiers are in short supply. Good luck with it. https://arcanesceneryandmodels.co.uk/shop/british-line-infantry-1775-172-scale-call-to-arms-set-65/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted April 22, 2022 Author Share Posted April 22, 2022 Ken, you're not allowed to promote other brands on here, tch tch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Innes Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Ken, you're not allowed to promote other brands on here, tch tch.Sorry if it seemed like I was "promoting" other makes Ratch. I was simply "discussing" the figures made by another company. Airfix don't produce the British Grenadiers any more so there's no conflict of interest, besides, good competition is what keeps a company on its toes don't you think?

Ratch Posted April 23, 2022 Author Share Posted April 23, 2022 We very much share your view on ATF, Ken.Here, my picture of a Stratojet was taken down for promoting another brand and I'd not even stated which brand it was.I build Airfix and other brands, but only post Airfix here now.

Can I ask you an unrelated question without breaking any rules please? I'm in a couple of groups on FB where I (and others of course) discuss models and can sell, buy and swap kits (and related paraphenalia). I always try to price my stuff for sale fairly and competetively (I'm not a shop-keeper, just a guy whose stash has outgrown my expected lifespan). Would it be ok, on this forum, to mention these groups? Like I say I don't want to break any rules or "step on toes". Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
