Lovely start there Ken!  Sometime's I think it's great to give these old kits from yesteryear a good try out. I was looking up these old Airfix figures when I started Frederick's build and couldn't believe how many they actually produced - twenty at the last count!!  Best of luck with old 'Lizzie! Robin. First wooden ship: The Grimsby 12 Gun 'Frigate' by Constructo Second: Bounty DelPrado Part Works Third: HMS Victory DelPrado Part Works 1/100 scale Diorama of the Battle of the Brandywine from the American Revolutionary War Diorama of the Battle of New Falkland (unfinished sci-fi), Great War Centenary Diorama of the Messines Ridge Assault Index for the Victory diary is on page 1

Great start
There are serious collectors of historical figure range and certain ones now very sought after, approx 17 figures in the range.

That looks really good. I remember buying these figures as a child. My mum used to do the detail painting bits as at one time she used to hand paint lead soldiers as a job. Wish I`d kept them now as just found "Charles 1st" on ebay Deep pockets needed for what was once a pocket money kit.  Charles 1stKeep up the good work.

Yep gold leaf again, I really like it compared to gold paint, well there is no comparison, you can't get more realistic than the actual stuff. Ken's the name modeling's the game.

I remember doing some of these as a kid, I recall I built Julius Ceaser and Oliver cromwell one Christmas morning I also had the black price complete with removable helmet  Thanks for the trip down memory lane Affix really gave her a miserable look though  Build is great as always Jase “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”
