I think he could find a buyer. But I'm pretty sure he/she would break it up and sell the units individually on Ebay.  :'(

don't sell- you will never get back what you paid for it in both time and money.

the whole set up looks fantastic and provides inspiration for us mere mortals

The last few weeks has seen some more work on the collection

Egyptian Gendarmes



I have cleared out the last of the plastic from the 20 boxes of Perry Mahdists .



Still some bits n bibs left to do - for now selling the collection is off the cards . I just await post lockdown for more big games !

20 boxes? You loony!  lol I'll be content if I ever finish the one box I have.


Lovely stuff! I especially like those red-coated fellows from the previous post (just saying that now because I neglected to before). Really nice.

Oh I’m looking forward to seeing what the old glory Sudanese look like with paint, OG has horrible photos on their website. I love the thread too, of course. Very inspiring.

Oh I am looking forward to seeing those Sudanese with some paint on. I mean sometimes OG stuff looks pretty good once you hold your breath and dive in,  but I'm afraid I just couldn't bring myself to paint them. They have an odd power to suck away all of one's inspiration and enthusiasm.  :)

Just went through the whole thread and I have to say

ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS

The range and variety of all your different units (and the size of them) are amazing, plus the vignettes really spice it up and are most beautiful. I am taken aback and lost for words (and that's quite hard for me lol). Well done, a completely and utterly well done.
I have nothing important to say so just keep on scrolling.

Great-looking pictures, is the series good and is your collection used to represent the battle or how was it actually used?
