Title: (WANTED) Perry plastic Chasseur a Cheval colpack heads
Post by: Baron von Wreckedoften on March 01, 2024, 09:14:32 AM: New year, new project. I need about 90 (give or take a few) colpack-bedecked heads from the Perry plastic French Chasseur a Cheval cavalry box. Most purchasers of such boxes will use 2 or at most 3 of the 14 of these heads that the box contains, so I am willing to buy all the spare ones. Any number, large or small; I will at least cover your postage, or we can discuss swapsies.

OK, since you asked, I am creating a Sharp Practice force based on the combined grenadier companies from either one of the two Nassau infantry regiments, as they would have appeared from 1809-1813. They will represent either the 2nd Regiment in Spain, or alternatively the 1st Regiment in Austria, and later in Spain also, as the scenario demands.

I am in the UK and would prefer to deal with UK sellers due to postage charges/import duties. (That said, if you can offer me all 90...... :D )

Post by: JArgo on March 26, 2024, 10:02:27 PM: Those are the big fur hats with plume? I can find 6 you can have for free (every little helps, right?) - I'll post from Germany but I don't think you'll get hit with any customs. Postage is just €1.10 so stick a quid in the next charity box you see.

PM me the details

Post by: Baron von Wreckedoften on March 31, 2024, 04:11:56 PM: Will do - yes, they are, so thank you, JArgo. As you say, every little helps.

I'm thinking of starting a plastics "swap" forum on here, with people listing what they have (even if it's only "I've got x boxes of Bavarian kettledrummers from the War of Jenkin's Ear - send me your bits wants") to make it easier to find stuff.

Any CaC colpack heads gratefully received.

[@ JArgo - did I reply to you? ]

Post by: Baron von Wreckedoften on April 19, 2024, 03:07:42 PM: Fair enough, no rush - it's not starting until June (I was more worried that I might have ignored you - I'm getting very forgetful these days..... o_o )
