| Recently, we were given some old Britains plastic horses which had been overpainted in bright colours by enthusiastic children many years ago. Lesley paints figures in 54mm to 1:72 scale and sells them on eBay, so she repainted four of them in natural colours and partnered them with 54mm Medieval ladies for sale.

| Thanks for all your kind comments! The Britains-sized figures are a little too big for me. I prefer to paint 30mm - 40mm figures. Like these - [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Lesley castlerigg |
