It is another great Peter Laing figure. The problem with Peter Laing is you get easily distracted by other figures from other periods and it's hard to get a project completed!jhnptrqnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11011208263053721255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135416429133257747.post-60488471645652637832014-05-05T14:31:03.825-07:002014-05-05T14:31:03.825-07:00The fellow towing the m/g is marvellous!

I've got one of Peter Laing's Russian Civil War (and it probably came under other headings too) figures of a motor cycle despatch rider, but it has such a look of T.E. Lawrence (of Arabia) on his motor cycle when he was in the RAF, it is quite amazing.AlFronthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03309612957773750838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135416429133257747.post-75579659928803817712014-05-04T01:55:10.567-07:002014-05-04T01:55:10.567-07:00I wish I had his figures available when I was youn...I wish I had his figures available when I was younger. I grew up on Airfix, and the first edition figures were, and still are, my favorite.

When I order the next batch of rubber I will probably be attempting to mold both cyclist figures. They will add some interest to the games.jhnptrqnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11011208263053721255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135416429133257747.post-52004736892937418262014-05-01T01:54:24.993-07:002014-05-01T01:54:24.993-07:00Alen, Thank you for the link to the 25th London si...Alen, Thank you for the link to the 25th London site. I think there is going to be some bicycle units in the future of my war-games. I have been gathering some reinforcements for you. I have found 1 RAF cyclist; I am going to see if I can found the other 2 if they still exist. My Airfix Confederates have gotten scattered so will take some more time to find. Ian forwarded me your address.jhnptrqnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11011208263053721255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135416429133257747.post-22741105539742053982014-04-30T15:50:51.920-07:002014-04-30T15:50:51.920-07:00Alan, what a fascinating site!
