Responsibility details are not available.
A set of unpainted figures of British cavalry armed with the lance, in 1:72 scale. This is a particular regiment with a tradition of its own, whose badge with a skull and crossed bones is among the best known in the British army. The figures of this line are in soft plastic, on which ordinary cement for polystyrene will not hold and neither will paint without preparation. That is not a fault but a property of the material.
The 17th made its name twice. First in the Crimean War, where it took part in the famous Charge of the Light Brigade against the Russian guns, and a second time in the campaign against the Zulus, where its riders scattered the retreating enemy after the Battle of Ulundi. Lancers were cavalry armed with a long lance, which gave them the advantage in the first clash but was more of a hindrance in the melee that followed.
Wash the figures first in lukewarm soapy water and let them dry completely. Then apply a primer intended for soft plastics. They are glued with cyanoacrylate glue. Paint the rider separately and seat him on the horse only at the end. Pick the lance pennants out with a fine brush; they are exactly what makes a cavalry unit look striking.
The figures are supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
