Ha ha! My Frankenstein thing? Strangely I have been painting cheap plastic skeletons this weekend. A junk shop / market stall rummage find. £1 a bag old stock, last two bags. Will put them on the blog when done. That’ll give the repaired Britain’s Redcoats some unusual opposition, having repaired now Indian braves, Zulus and now Skeleton warriors!

Started pairing up arms and heads with figures ready for September / Autumn painting. Must finish the ships first.
I didn’t realise till recently where “Arms and the Man” came from, not the comic play by George Bernard Shaw, but instead the Shaw title quotes the opening words of Virgil’s Aeneid: Arma virumque cano (“Of arms and the man I sing”). That’s yer actual Latin, that is, and I never had the Latin …

Wonderful to see these spares are available in the Throw-away 21st Century.

Thanks MJT, It is very rewarding bringing dead and broken junk scrap metal figures back to life. This bunch of arms and heads should keep me busy throughout Autumn onwards.

How much did they work out at a head or arm.

Dorset are usually 50p a head or arm. Dorset have had some production problems recently so orders are not sent “return of post” but do get to you eventually.
GBE appear to have ceased trading despite the website being around, they have not answered emails or letters.
Other sources – Langley 54mm heads are 60p each. Not tried these yet. http://www.langleymodels.co.uk/acatalog/Toy_Soldier_Heads__54mm_.html
