https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALSOhWi6Oe4 Konrad, This is a link to the first segment of a you-tube thread on the Battle of the Plains of Abraham. It is very different from most descriptions as it focuses on the landscape. Three part you-tube thread. Really, really good stuff. Great for...

Well done. Major grats on this wonderful piece !!!! I would simply leave the piece as is. No way would I consider having this painted.

Brilliant use of a variety of manufacturers. Wedded to the scene, not the name of the box. Love it !!!!!

What is the material used in the manufacturing? A foam or resin or something else?

Simply outstanding!!! Any close-up photos would very much be appreciated. Noticed that some figures are submerged within the water column --- is that a first? I cannot help wondering how much for the beautiful display case?

Just Brilliant!!! The groundwork is perfection. The gift of patience is needed for that detail work and you have it.

Very nice catch, Chris. The "At Attention" and the future "Firing Sets" are in red waistcoats. So it just seems that the blue waistcoats are limited to the Marching Sets. All my references have the rank & file in red waistcoats including Carl Franklin's volume on British Army Uniforms 1751 -...

As far as I know, the only way to tell the four battalions of the 60th apart is via the Flags. http://www.fifedrum.org/crfd/images/D60F.htm

Exceedingly Happy with the 60th Releases --- Unique in that there were four separate Battalions of the 60th, so they got around nearly everywhere. Good for both Quebec and Ticonderoga plus the Siege of Fort William Henry and the successful Forbes Campaign to take Fort Duquesne in 1758. Link...

Clarification: If the link opens to page 26 for you, Robert Harragad is listed as the First Blacksmith. Edward Smith and James Notlage are simply listed as Blacksmiths.

Personally, I prefer to attach a name to my figures. I know it is a tad warped, but that is for another thread. For those deep into "trivia" and in case this question appears on Final Jeopardy someday: "During General Edward Braddock's Failed Expedition to Capture Fort Duquesne in 1755, who...

Looking to Buy a John Jenkins Figure (BM-03) Officer. The wanted figure is the Officer on the Right. Not the Flag Bearer or Drummer. A single figure on the right is fine. It can be loose without box. Please send private e-mail. Have pay-mail. Thanks

Superb job on both painting the buildings and the composition of the scene. That is beyond really good .... your having as good a week as Daniel Murphy!!!!

Prayers for the Reuss Family. God Bless.

No, I am not kidding or spreading rumors - it is thought that Italian was spoken at a critical juncture in the battle. Sir John St. Clair was the Quartermaster General for the Expedition. Depending on Authority, he held the rank of Major or Lt. Colonel in the British Army. Between 1735 and...

I would have called a fourth error on the Texas 2nd Baseman. Amazing, Amazing!!!! Baseball gods apparently did not like the call allowing a Texas run in the top of the 7th and stepped in to change the outcome.

Robin, So your solution is to avoid the problem entirely by burning/discarding the boxes? Or am I missing something here? The idea of getting rid of the boxes is both SCARY and BRILLIANT !!! And since my will already stipulates that I am being buried with my Jenkins Monongahela Marching Sets...

For the last 8 months, I have been unable to locate 2 different toy soldiers. I searched and searched and searched. No luck. I probably purchased the figures 5 or more years ago and I had never displayed these figures before, but wanted to now. I located the boxes for the figures, but as I...

O.K. this is actually one of my more brilliant ideas. High on my wish list is an officer conference for Ticonderoga. Campaign tent maybe some tables plus commanding officers from the various regiments and others such as another Rogers figure, Naval Officers, head of the artillery, and...

The theme music from the Adventures of Robin Hood has been playing non-stop in my mind for over two hours now. I guess it could be worse and be the theme from the Battle of the Bulge.
