Joe, my friend, you have created a rather poignant scene here. A very effective and unique display. Noah

Carlo, those are some amazing colonial houses! You have done an excellent job in creating these and you should be rightly proud of your work. The houses and K & C's figures really compliment each other. Thanks for posting these pics. Noah

Sammy, despite your self-explanitory thread title, I misread it at first glance. I all saw was "First Legion" and "yard sale"! My initial reaction was "Who in their right mind would do that?!"^&grin Anyway, that is cool that you brought someone new into the fold by striking up a conversation...

That is great stuff Guy! I have not yet seen this artillery crew displayed with the Rifles, so thanks for doing that. They look really nice together. Noah

I have a similar reaction Mark. While I would rather prices were lower, that is not up to me. The price that First Legion sets is what they can get as far as a fair market value. Some people will like that concept, some will not. Personally, I feel the prices are fine for the range I...

Very nice indeed. Great to see some of the most recent ACW Confederates in action. Noah

Hey Sammy, I saw those same Crusaders in the workbench section this morning. They look pretty good side by side and the banner paintwork is outstanding. Noah

I know how you feel, as there are so many good releases from FL. The lottery would be nice. Or my wife can pay me back for the $350 that she used out of my special figure fund to go see her sister in Colorado. Still mad about that one.....:mad: Noah

Mike, what sacrilege is this?!? I'm not sure I can take losing a loyal AWI afficiando to the Roman legions. That just isn't right.....^&grin Seriously though, I can understand why people are so excited about the Roman range. First Legion has done a superb job thus far with the range, getting...

That is sad news indeed. I remember reading a well-used copy of Face of Battle when I was younger. It was one of the first academic history books my father introduced to me from his office shelves. Since then, I have read a number of Keegan's works and have always been impressed by his...

This is a great dio Mike. The base and painted background provide a very ominous mood, which I think matches the figures perfectly. Excellent work. Noah

Welcome to the forum! I hope you enjoy your time here and please feel free to join in the discussion. Always nice to have more First Legion fans. Noah

Guy, First Legion's figures are great by themselves. But, when they are placed among your scenic elements, they are simply amazing. The figures and your dio truly complement each other. Noah

You have probable already thought of this, but I suppose that you could get one of the AWI001 figures and have someone repaint the flag with the Franklin image. If you are wanting a display piece to go along with your desk-displayed flag you bought, that might be an option. Noah

Hey Gebhard, I hate to say "never", but I have not heard of a unit carrying a flag with this specific image from Franklin on it. As you allude, there are numerous variations of the yellow Gadsden flag, more commonly known as the "Don't Tread on Me" flag. Most of those weren't actually carried...

Gebhard, that is a cool item to have on your desk. Makes me a little jealous..... Anyway, Brendan is right on. The original image was a political "cartoon" created by Franklin in 1754, just prior to the FIW. He created it to make a point about the necessity of political unity among the...

Matt kept a pretty good lid on this AWI release. It wasn't a case of you missing anything among the other ranges. I just don't think these Continentals have been mentioned/previewed/hinted at all! Noah

The website shows a price of $119.99, which I would assume is the correct one. Noah

Matt, you have made August a great month for me already! I don't even have these in hand yet! I am very excited about this release to say the least. We have been waiting for the first uniformed Continentals and Haslet's Regiment is a great place to start. The dynamic poses make this a very...

I hope the 22nd Foot is released before you go to the Chicago show! I can't really wait any longer.:wink2: The 22nd was most active in the early years, especially in the major campaigns you outline. After they went to Rhode Island in 1778, the line companies at least, pretty much stayed...
