Those are HE figures available from Spencer-Smith in the UK. The "real" Spencer Smiths were sculpted by Holger Ericsson anyway, so using HE cavalry would be like using the Spencer Smiths at one remove!<BR/><BR/>It's hard to ignore the RSM figures though, at $US27 for a dozen men and horses the price is hard to beat. Beautiful, uncluttered figures that paint very easily.<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/><BR/>GregBloggeratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15501347647235993401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15312232.post-1149270477329525142006-06-03T03:47:00.000+10:002006-06-03T03:47:00.000+10:00Greg,These are exceptional castings, of course the...Greg,<BR/><BR/>These are exceptional castings, of course the paint job is even better, are they all RSM?<BR/><BR/>I had thought when my Russo_turkish War project was finished I would paint SYW.

(A function of age? I hope not!)<BR/><BR/>Still, if you could direct me to where I could see them again, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/><BR/>PatrickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15312232.post-1147565960964607512006-05-14T10:19:00.000+10:002006-05-14T10:19:00.000+10:00Hi Patrick,I'm glad you like them!

One is completed already and I really like the look of him; he's the most toy-soldierish looking toy soldier I've painted in a long time.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I think I have posted (somewhere here) some pictures of my own PA castings which I painted as more-or-less Saxons of the reign of Augustus the Strong. Have you seen those?<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/><BR/>GregBloggeratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15501347647235993401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15312232.post-1147527456969379652006-05-13T23:37:00.000+10:002006-05-13T23:37:00.000+10:00Great stuff!

My eye will then be on boosting them both to their full strength. Full strength looks at the moment to be 19 figures, but I do have my eye on the "magic" number of 28/9 or so...<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you like them; this is how I conceived of them as I have been putting them together over the past couple of years; a great mass of horsemen.
