Another winner! The figures look great, doyou know much about the history / background to the peter laing range ? He covered so many periods and while I have read some very sniffy posts about the quality of the figures I have never failed to be delighted by them.

I know a little about the line, such as Peter Laing designed the first 15mm figures for production (although his first figures were closer to 12mm). I have found out a lot of information from Ian Dury, who also made available a Peter Laing catalog; 14 full pages in small print! Most of those sniffy posts is what made me want the figures more! Especially the one that described PL cavalry figures as "looking like men riding oversized dogs"! What is truly sad is how many of those posts talked of melting down the figures.
