Now I'm back I have been going thru the backlog of articles and found this one lived up to its promise. Well done, Paul, a great effort (but I have come to expect that from you). :)

Post by: matakishi on August 31, 2016, 01:56:13 PM: As I had a bit of free time I painted up a couple of Britannia 28mm Saracens to add to my mercenaries. These are from the Malayan Emergency range originally but I've scrapped that project so they've moved to Africa.

My friend, Mr Jimboto, has confirmed they are indeed African rocks.
My apologies, I am quite obviously wrong and you are correct: I couldn't possibly have seen them before.....
