beating retreat

Hello!

Thank you very much for your kind words!

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I couldn't see it to clearly and I remember my parents having one that looked similar. Dad as you guessed was in the REME.

Cheers Scott

The new album you posted of the Old Britains is great by the way

Hi John,

the slideshow was terrific. I like the feature which gives a caption on the make when the mouse goes over a picture. Your collection reminds me of the Roy Dilley / Henry Harris collections which I adored. The highlights to me were (a) the Hinchcliffe RHA. Great diorama. Why don't they reissue these? (b) the yeomanry setting - great grouping of various makes and modifications (c) your indian army (d) battle of towton - you really brought Irregular Miniatures to life (e) the glossy british army - excellent.

Hi John,

What a fantastic website www.paintedsoldiers.co.uk. Your albums are only a tip of your output. I can see why you are a top medal winner. I really enjoyed seeing those Chota Sahib, Sarum, BMSS and other pieces brought to glorious glossy life.

Great display John. Especially your Durbar and old Britains' ones.
Regards Michel

really enjoyable collection

Hi, terrific displays. I especially like your work room space and those cupboards. Your backdrop for the Delhi durbar is excellent.

Hi John, thanks a lot. I love your own made building of the delhi durbar display. Fantastic ! I painted a lot of flat figures in earlier years, but now I collect only painted figures (K&C and glossy sets of british and indian army 19th century).
Concerning my pictures, only the walt disney figures are painted by myself.
Cheers Marcus

Hi John,
Great pictures and collection.
Some day I will come to an agreement with the Mrs to allow me to decorate my home office also.
Very nice, museum quality space.
