God what memories, I remember buying this set in Dudley in 1976!

I’ve always said they were lovely Hollywood figures! I still have my originals bought from Johnson & Clarkes in Staines in August 1976.

Very cool, my man. Legendary set of my childhood 👍🏻

Bonjour génial votre collection la finition est parfaite il faut dire qu'AIRFIX est une marque d'exception dommage qu'elle n'est plus vendue en magasin , pour ma part j'en possède quelques uns que je met en scène sur ma chaine mais ils ne sont pas aussi bien peint que les vôtres félicitation je like et je m'abonne a votre chaine

Nice painting on your 7th Cavalry figures. This airfix set would have been a great addition for my Marx Ft. Apache forces when I was a kid. Unfortunately they weren't around back then. I did add some Britain's 7th Cavalry to my Ft. Apache. But they were a little pricey. Cheers!

Great video

Cool. I have some Britain 7th Cavalry too and as you say they go well with them. They also go well with waterloo 1815 Custers last stand sets that were released last year. Cheers.

Beautiful figures! But, as you said, a bit on the pricey side, which is why I never bought any. But I do have the Britains painted plastic Civil War guys including the mounted Confederates which are my favorites. But for simple tabletop play I use the BMC 7th Cavalry, unpainted, along with the BMC butterscotch-colored Indians. They were real cheap when I bought them and I also have a reissued stockade fort to go with them. Nice video!

One could try to trim the scabbards, given the fact that soldiers generally let the sabres behind at depots before going on campaign, as seen on "Son of the Morning Star" (excellent movie on Custer's last stand), probabilly the bugler/standard bearer was done to save a figure.

Yes not historically accurate.

these airfix minifigures have good detail, also the hand painting is very good, congratulations. it is a pity that they have gone out of production.. I hope one day they will make a reprint.

do you know why these figures can't be used for a little big horn diorama ? because Custer decided not to bring sabers for this mission as they will make to much noise and will help their enemies to spot them.

Great job on the painting and nice figures; I don't recall this set. They are a very fighty set of poses aren't they.

Mark, another great job! I wondered do you use acrylic or enamel paint? I'e always used enamel but it's getting harder to find so I'm thinking of switchng. I've been very satisfied over the years how enamel has held up and wondered if acrylic wil?

@marklinnane1744

Жыл бұрын

Hi Bob, thanks. I use acrylic paint. Citadel and Humbrol Acrylic are the paints I use. They wouldn't be as tough as enamel but they seem to hold up well. I give the figures 2 coats of the acrylic paint after priming them. Then I put on 2 coats of matt varnish to give that little extra bit of protection.

Great figures and well done on painting too! Are the figures available now from Airfix?

I use citadel and Humbrol Acrylic paints. For the shirts I used citadel kantor blue and put a black wash over it. For the trousers/pants i mixed citadel lothern blue and Humbrol Acrylic number 65 to achieve a sky blue colour.
