On Bob Condrey's wargaming miscellany blog, he was talking about his personal history with Peter Laing figures and the benefits of them to wargamers. While I just started collecting them in the last couple of years, I agree with his feeling for the figures.
In the comment section, Tim Gow tells how he especially likes the elephants, which one of his friends referred to as "angry mice"! I must admit, I have never been big for ancients wargames, but when I got a pair of elephants like the one on the right, I spent a week trying to set up a wargame just to use the elephant.

Just about to update that Dropbox folder with more Elephants - and French in Egypt figures - all from the collection of my friend Barry Carter
ReplyDeleteIan, I can't wait to see them. I must admit although I don't use them in wargames much, the elephants and camel figures of Peter Laing are among my favorites. I also look forward to the French in Egypt photos. I have been planning for my next batch of molds, the first ones will be revolutionary French figures you sent me. I have been thinking of a Egyptian wargame from that period.
