I used leftover French Line figures then too, though, not Jack's dedicated figures (see above). I gave them away about 10 years ago when I gradually replaced the remaining Scrubys and Hinton Hunts with at least Minigfigs or better!<br /><br />Less than 2 months to Borodino - gotta paint more an write less, LOL!Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-50456664753243670612012-05-21T22:56:11.273-04:002012-05-21T22:56:11.273-04:00Joe (Pancerni/"Fish Tales") had the full...Joe (Pancerni/"Fish Tales") had the full 36 plus figure Scruby Neufchatel Battalion in his original army as well!Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-58366426329765303902012-05-21T21:35:01.771-04:002012-05-21T21:35:01.771-04:00Peter,
