A nice little find

 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:

French Imperial Guard Horse Artillery

 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.

French Artillery Set

 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.
