Re: Norman army 1066 and all that...Strelets ??

No not deserty, but when I looked at the stash, it was the box that called ...Anglo saxons at Hastings 1066, why I did not buy the Normans at the same time has been forgotten in the mists of time, but the army is taking shape, or colour as the case maybe.

Thanx Peter....actually, the Revell ones aren't nowhere anyways....

Re: Norman army 1066 and all that...Strelets ??

Welcome Spamish... your Forum name is remarkably like the esteemed 'Spanish Erik' who has posted here many times?

Is Peter the same Peter who is a leading light on Bennos?

Re: Norman army 1066 and all that...Strelets ??

Careful what you wish for. I tried to get the big box sets a couple of years ago and in the end I bought them from Germany. As I result I ended up with Hastings 1066, Stamford Bridge, Norman's and Norman Camp. As you aptly put it in previous correspondence Alan, I then put them under the brush.
I duly finished them some time later suffering from extreme invasion fatigue. I must give credit to Paul's Bods for inspiration throughout this traumatic period particularly on the shields.
I have plans to return to Stamford Bridge to reinact the lone Viking berserker once I've got this Arab conflict out of the way. The Strelets figure of The Viking with an arrow through his neck is one of the best of this period



Re: Norman army 1066 and all that...Strelets ??

Just today ordered the Vikings from this release, and finishing the bases on my first 70/80 Saxons, shields....I tried, but will win no prizes,but they will do for me. I really do want to try and get the big box set and get everything in one hit, I am in no great rush,but I am kicking myself for not getting it when I bought the Saxons.

Re: Norman army 1066 and all that...Strelets ??

Oh yes,

the same problem. I just wasn't able to buy all big box sets at once and then suddenly the norman camp was no longer available to a prize i can spend.
