Here are some of my Guardsmen, some are bandsmen, some will be mounted. There are about 50 horses made so far.
Some Guards are marching, some are static on route.

Thanks Lyn, yes they can take a while, it's a long time since I did any of these. I hope to get back into them when I get out of hospital I will have a few days when I can't do much else.
I used to teach pensioners years ago, I may get back into that.

I had about ten in my class, once a fortnight in Corporation Street for The Birmingham Retirement council. The beauty of it is, it takes a long time so keeping them busy and is very very cheap to do.
