A bit of a diversion

Hanoverian recruitment has been held back of late by a new distraction, a 30mm unit of Scots Guards circa 1910. This period, particularly the British army in full dress, has always been a major of interest  of mine, and I was brought up in the 1960’s when Britains lead soldiers were being phased out and plastic 54mm and Airfix was all the rage with young boys.  I always hankered after a lead soldier collection but they were way out of my price range and became the domain of serious collectors.
So this seems a good compromise. 30mm is now the industry standard, they have plenty detail if well sculpted, are affordable and look great en masse, without taking up vast self space.
So I now introduce my first completed unit of Scots Guards, 64 marching men, 4 piece colour party, 2sergeants, 1 Sergeant major, 2 officers and mounted Lt Colonel.
I will also paint up 12 line markers. Still to paint up the band, pioneer , transport mule and handler, which should give me a 1:12 representation of a British regiment circa 1910.
