With risk of being accused of fanboyism I'd just like to say that my SYW order (Prussian and Austrian army packs) arrived yesterday and I'm very pleased with them. Photos do not give them justice but seeing them in the flesh/metal with proportions properly assessed by the eye certainly does. Also having dealt with other manufacturers' packing mistakes once too often I'm very happy to say that not a single miniature was missing or miscast, most impressive. Thanks PD! More orders to come when the cash reserve replenishes. :)
Good to hear, glad you like them! You know we'll be expecting some painted pics now, don't you?! :D
Heh, obviously. ;) I'll see what I can do.
My SYW French with turnbacks also arrived today and like Aquahog I am very happy to have them 8->

One unit of Austrian foot cleaned and ready for priming. Now I only need to paint something else so I can free up some Blue Tac for attaching the miniatures to a Popsicle stick. Or use PVA of course...
Edit: Oh and good to hear Zbigniew :)

I find the cheap version of 'Pritt Stick' (3 sticks for about £1 in W H Smiths) works well ;)

Thanks :) We don't get W H Smiths over here unfortunately. But we do have the cheap versions of Blu Tac I think. However if I got more I'd never get anything painted, I'd just arrange all my unpainted miniatures on sticks for priming until there wasn't a free level surface in my work room. ^^

Any cheap glue stick should work fine.
