18th-20th century barn Small barns like this once dotted the landscape. In some cases these were supplementary structures to much larger structures. Often the earliest outbuildings would be left unpainted, but once commercial paints were readily available many were painted with white lead or...

You will, along with a nice selection of other new ACW, both North & South of the Mason-Dixon Line…

The Model 1841 bronze Howitzer I really like the way the M1841 12 pound howitzer turned out and we offered it with both Union and Confederate crews. I previously posted a couple of photos of Set 31418 - “Ready to Fire” that features a Union crew in their distinctive red trimmed shell jackets...

I recently built a number of small displays featuring various figures and accessories made by W. Britain in 1/30th scale to show how various releases can be used together to tell stories. The small scale of the dioramas allows me to finish them fast and just a few scenic elements ties all of the...

Well that is a lot, but I have started on a couple of others that we think are important…Don’t forget we do have King George VI…

I don’t think I have ever posted any pictures of this new set, but my apologies if I have. I say new set with some inside knowledge that it was started over 6 years ago by another one of our artists and was left unfinished and without a base for years. I recently ran across it and decided to...

Well…because you asked here his one in production…

Here is another one of the Collectors Club figures…A member of the 1st U.S. Sharpshooters (Berdan’s). There are also 3 more that will come out about the same time in the normal ACW collection. I still want to do a couple in blue sack coats with green caps and trousers for the summer of 1863…

And they are sooo good!

Hey, this is great…feel free to post them here. We had a great time during our visit and you taught Ericka a new way to cook tasty potatoes too!

Hey Mike, do you still have any photos from the time Ericka and I visited and I brought along a good many of my own figures to group with your troops? Mine are long gone! (Including most of the troops)

Great to see you creating a new diorama Mike…I was playing around a bit with my massed infantry and apparently the Company officer decided to fire by sections!

The Model 1841 bronze Howitzer I really like the way the M1841 12 pound howitzer turned out and we offered it with both Union and Confederate crews. Set 31418 - “Ready to Fire” features a Union crew in their distinctive red trimmed shell jackets waiting for the order to fire. The corporal holds...

This is one of the older pedestal bases I built featuring Confederate Texas Brigade figures advancing through a fall cornfield. Originally this base had the cast white metal corn stalks on it, but with the new injection molded plastic cornstalks, I just had to upgrade the diorama. I really like...

Yes…I know because I need them too!

Here are photos of three of the club offerings for this year. I will try to post the others this week. My apologies but I have been very busy! 43rd Regiment of Foot second rank standing firing 1780 (This is designed too be used with the front rank standing firing 43rd Regiment figure now...

I am really looking forward to seeing the finished diorama Mike!

M10 Here is another diorama I built on an aluminum cake decorating pedestal that I primed and painted olive drab. This diorama features the new M10 Tank Destroyer that is due in-stock by early April this year. I love the new vehicle and we loaded it up with period correct stowage and included...

Here are a few photos of the M18 diorama I built for a show last September. The entire display was built on an aluminum cake decorating stand painted O.D. green so it can be turned when on a shelf. I used a combination of figures on the diorama to show the Tank Destroyer supporting 101st...
