Post by: Belisarius on September 29, 2012, 06:55:18 PM: Thanks again chaps, and yes the constabulary is indeed by Empress, lovely little sculpts they are too, I,ve often thought they would work well in a VBCW setting. On second thoughts I,ll bet someone else has gone and done it first. The other mounted troops are all conversions of the Perry,s ACW plastics set. It seems I c,ant open a box of plastics any more without thinking - I wonder if this would look good if I cut here or added this rifle there, I blame Captain Blood for a lot of it . By the way this is the camp to where the column is heading.
