Yes, this diorama of Rorke's Drift is in the museum in Brecon, Wales. I visited about 10 years ago, a wonderful couple of hours, and well worth the time to see all of the regimental history there Royal Welsh Regimental Museum John

Victor, I think you are doing one of these ?? John

Victor, I think space always was a premium for you :) John

Jason, thanks for your comments, I have been in touch with Anthony too, and I have passed on news about him taking over the shop to our local collectors here in Perth. John

Yes, sure is a good year, that will keep me going for a while, but maybe later this year ..... ???? John

I'll see what i have here Victor and email them to you, I've assembled Hincliffe gun teams from Napoleonic and great War eras, so can provide images like these: John

Thanks Louis, I really appreciate your response, I managed to free up some bays in our racks in the Studio, my wife wanted to tidy up over Easter, so now I have the space to display some of my figures. I plan on rotating the figures in from the Toy Soldier Room and have them on display for...

I have built another diorama base to display my figures, this time it is using Miniart buildings and I'm showing some more MHSP Napoleonic that I painted. You may also see a few Speira 3D figures there too. I have now setup some strip lights and playing around with background prints. John

Guns and gunners, and their drivers, I'm looking forward to seeing the limber and gun and your rigging of the horses for all that now, that will be a challenge !!!!! Jogn

For your interest MHSP make some more wagons and horsedrawn equipment that few others make. Many of these are still available, but they need finding, usually on EBay but from European sellers. As they are unpainted, the castings will need a 'lick of paint', I have done with all these ...

It looks to me like a gun team produced by French maker MHSP (Miniatures Historiques de Soldats de Plomb ) they came as castings and are from the 1970's. The range was released in the 200's with recasts made in China and sold by ATLAS. Here are a couple of pics on sets I have painted, showing...

Thanks for those pictures, and for the news about the videos, I was wondering why I couldn't access the older ones. I hope we can see more pics, it's something I really enjoy, seeing I'm halfway around the world from that show! John

It's great to see some 'action' taking place with this project. Looking good :) John

He will be popular 'down under'..... and even in his homeland, the Emerald Isle .....? And I do like the troopers ... reminds me of an iconic Australian song .....'Up rode the troopers, one, two, three' I bet these will be released in July ! John

I think he looks like Wayne ???? He's a 'Master ...' :) John

Yes, I saw lots of images on TV news last night of the parade in Vietnam. They had a lot to cheer about. I remember seeing the tragic scenes on TV of the last helicopter leaving with the locals all trying to get on ..... The Aussie had withdrawn 3 years earlier thanks to a change in our...
