John Cross review of S Range and 30mm figures, Scale Models Magazine August 1970
I realise I have a small bundle of the 30mm figures all Napoleonics-mostly highlanders and Guard Chasseurs a cheval - without horses. All have their arms. Now if I new where I'd got 'em from .
Most interesting, and delightful photographs. The Seven years War range suddenly comes flooding back. I have seen those figures, but where and when.
ReplyDeleteHow I wish I still had the catalogue referred to. It really was a mine of information, by the standards of the times.

ReplyDeleteAndy, I think Minifigs in the States had re-released some of the 30mm figures - maybe you coukld pick up some horses.
