No worries at all, my man! How's things with yourself - haven't seen much of you round here recently??

Whassat??! I'm gonna kick myself if this is something obvious, but I don't get it??! Molloy.

Morning Viriato! Apparently, the story with trouser colours (if I can recall this correctly) is this: British troops of the period usually wore looser white cotton trousers for summer wear, and service in hot climes, so these would be fairly standard for the Peninsula for example. Grey trousers...

Ah Chris, you old flatterer! Nah, don't worry mate, you can safely take the wife and daughter within philandering distance of me here in Dublin as I'm a firmly taken man (mind you though, given that you strike as a man of some discernment, I'm sure I'd be tempted all the same!).

A very happy birthday to you, mate! Haven't had a chance yet to talk to you directly, but I'm always impressed by the contributions you have to offer. Enjoy your day! Molloy.

Heineken would be my standard choice for a few pints on a night out! For a couple of cans for a night in, or a house party......well, pretty much any lager is acceptable (I am a student:D). I've never had any time for Guinness, strangely enough, despite where I'm from (and despite my father...

Chris, Apologies I'm only getting back to you now mate, was down the country for a couple of days so tonight's the first chance I've had to log back on properly! Well, whatever the inspiration might be behind it, everything I've seen of the range so far seems great, so you seem to be getting...

Chris, Congratulations on the venture mate, always great to see new companies entering into the hobby, and especially those with a slant towards Waterloo;)! How have you found the reaction so far? Cheers, Molloy.

Cheers for the info mate! Hmmm...can't quite decide whether that's good or bad news. Financially speaking, almost certainly a plus, but there is something very nice about actually being able to see figures "in the flesh" before purchasing, really adds to the whole experience (as great as I find...

He, he, now that man looks like he's enjoying himself, despite all that's going on around him! I've always liked that painting, really sums up the redcoat of the Napoleonic era (even if the headgear's wrong:D). Damian, no worries at all mate, I know 100% what you mean! The over-riding...

£20 for a regiment?! Now that could be very interesting! I'll await the launching of the site to get a closer look at those guys. Brilliant idea though. A little bit off topic actually Tony, but you strike me as the very man who might know: Hamleys are due to open a Dublin store later this...

A very fair point Damian - there's a sizeable list of modern British Army regiments with long and distinguished histories who'd take me very directly to task for that inadvertent gaffe:)! As regards Irish units, I suspect the current Royal Irish Regiment would be top of the queue to point out...

Right so, the 'Skins it is! The campaign begins here MD! Seriously though, it would be nice to see a regular British infantry regiment in the future. We've already had the Black Watch, Guards, KGL, 71st Light, so a run of the mill line Redcoat unit (albeit in this case an Irish one) would be a...

Thanks for those Tony, great stuff as ever and gives a nice flavour of the day for those who couldn't make it. Very taken by those Walkerloo figures as a kind of novelty item - anyone who was there have any idea what price range they might be in?? Cheers, Molloy.

Well said that man! An Irish regiment like the Inniskillings (27th) or the Connaught Rangers (88th) would be very warmly welcomed by yours truly anyway. Mind you, I reckon the 27th probably have the edge though from a collector's point of view as they were present both in the Peninsula, and...

Very, very happy Ron:D! Was tempted by the Old Guard figures before, and even bought one for a closer look, but I was always put off by the fact that the poses seemed more suggestive of troops on parade or standing for review - not much use for a battlefield display. That's something that's...
