Against All Odds "Colonel, they've got through the postern on the North Wall" Adjutant Baugh was right the Mexicans had breached the North Wall and were now pouring into the complex On top of the barracks Bonham calmly called out "Mr Evans ready our cannon if you please" Travis...

During my sojourn to Australia earlier this year I paid a couple of visits to my old chum Howard at his K&C shop in Donnybrook. I also attended the splendid Melbourne K&C Dinner organised by Howard with Andy N. as guest speaker. A great night was had by all attendees. Amongst my many purchases...

The Indignity of Invasion Early morning July 1st 1863-Chambersburg Pike "We are a band of brothers and native to the soil....... ..............Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star" Singing and martial music brought Thomas and Hannah Kerchner out onto their porch "What...

Hi Steve Height is comparative. However, and this is only my personal opinion- if placed alongside any of the WB or FL Woodland Indians the Conte RRs are far too chunky and lack any discernible torso/facial detail. In fairness Richard Conte designed those figures a dozen or more years ago and...

My version of The Ambush using the splendid WB16046 set front and centre Reb

Splendid pictures Mike. Pity we ain't got a soundtrack of a Rebel yells to go with 'em Bob

I'm currently on the Gold Coast in Australia returning to Melbourne tomorrow for another three weeks- finally returning to the UK mid-April. Subsequently, it'll be a no-show for me at this months London show. However, as much as I enjoy the Brit Brigades company three times a year I am...

I'm a born sucker for any ACW Diorama and those FL Iron Brigade figures individually speak for themselves. However, your particular grouping/placement of them and additional scenics splendidly brings them alive. Well done Brad very impressive. Bob

New Reb recruits for 2017 Albeit two of them haven't lasted long in the Hornet's Nest

Guys Just back from London tonight and got to say a great show, great company and that burger & beer deal was something else. For me our social gatherings are what make the Islington shows something rather special. Really good to see our Dutch Frogger friends Harrie & Richard again as they...

Hi Sammy I'll pass on your regards to David. I hope he will also have my long and winding Virginian road that I ordered last June prominently displayed. Bob

Yeah! I have one, as you have been MIA for a whole year you can buy me a beer around 1330hrs on show day ^&grin Bob

Wayne The total realism of this set up really is par excellence and that's a superlative well deserved. I doff my old kepi to your dioramic skills. :salute:: Bob

I received from postie this morning a parcel from Long Island NY. A gift from my good friend Louis Badolato. Apparently there was an auction at OTSN Chicago Show last month and Louis was able to obtain this special ACW Confederate wearing winter clothing customised by Ken Osen and subsequently...

Thank you MP for your comment The ACW conflict is my primary collecting era but as a Brit I have come to the conclusion that I am a rare breed amongst UK toy soldier collectors. I have yet to locate another single countryman on or indeed off the forum who has any serious interest whatsoever in...

An excellent and very atmospheric portrayal of the Nazi "celebration" of the Fuhrer's last birthday-Robin-Kudos!

Thanks for your kind comments and likes guys, always appreciated this end. The fight for Devil's Den continues. 4.15pm July 2nd 1863. With crashing rifles, screeching shots, cheers and shouts everyman was now his own general shouting out commands to his colleagues. One Texan soldier would...

A touchstone I always use on whether I have enjoyed or have been moved by a film is simply, am I still thinking about it a day or so later. As I mentioned in a previous post the new M7 is not a memorable film but is still an enjoyable two hour viewing, but until writing this post I had...

Mike Thanks for posting the FB picture-These figures by the way remind me of the character actors John Qualen and Olive Carey who played Mr & Mrs Jorgensen in Ford's The Searchers-great poses though. I think I mentioned to both you and Chris that I have personally been badgering Ken for the...
