 This scares me.
 
 I'm 37 in November. Otherwise, the Grant, Airfix and Matchbox comments
go
 for me, too...

The plastic 1/72 figure market is better than ever with several new 
manufacturer putting out how quality historicals. I play ACW and
Napoleonic 
"Volley and Bayonet" and at 10-14 figures per infantry brigade stand I
have 
CORPS of French, Portugese, Spanish, Prussian, Austrian troops -
infantry, 
light infantry, rifle corps, Hussars, Chasseurs, Dragoons Heavy and
LIght, 
horse and foot artillery, heavy cavalry - I am still a trifle short of 
command figures but am slowly modifying troops with putty add-ons -
hats, 
cloaks etc to provide division corps and army commanders. For ACW I am 
currently painting Zouaves.

Accurate Figures, Matchbox, Revell Germany, HaT Industries, Italaeri
offer a 
wide range of historicals from ancients to moden day and the prices are 
wonderful!
