(WANTED) Perry plastic Chasseur a Cheval colpack heads
« 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 )

No plan survives first contact with the dice.

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

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.

Yes you did! It’s exam season at school at the moment so I got caught up in that - it’s on my to do list!

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 )
