Every once in a while batches of Ros figures do pop up for sale. Today I received a small lot from the well known online auction site. The lot consisted of some original Ros 25mm Napoleonics. there were 10 line infantry in stovepipe shakos:
A Lamming officer and a broken lamming standard bearer were included.
And also some Highlanders:
Another battalion of British line infantry, wearing the later Belgic Shako comes off the production line:
Some more Imperial Guard Grenadiers, this time painted as the 3rd Dutch regiment:
With the correct command figures, another Guard Grenadier unit is ready for the table:
I have finally painted this lovely set of French Guard Horse Artillery. They look rather dashing and were fun to paint:
I have some Guard Foot artillery which will be on the painting bench soon.
Every once in a while something pops up of interest and this set of French artillery was up for sale on eBay. Now, I already have quite a few French gunners but this set was a little different because the gun barrel has a tab with a catalogue number, F15 stamped on it.
I have not seen a number on Ros guns before, so this is an interesting find. The set came with the usual five crew figures and the gun, made up of four parts. I am tempted to paint this set, however, it would be a shame to snip off the tab with the number.
