Thanks Mirof. That does look very clever! I found this video about the roller - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ebRSFhltwc Scott

This sort of base from Kogu's Brtish Empire thread (great thread by the way):)

I picked up both these kits a while back and am now starting on the Red Lancer. As per Victor's comments these are very much 1/35- I have placed a New Hope Dutch Lancer in one of the images and it towers over the horse and the little lady. I am intending to base them in a glass covered dome as...

Lots of Murats:) A question about that sash. The Caron d'Hevilley figure I painted recently had a tri-colour brassard indicating that he was Aide de campe to a general in chief. Does it follow that the sash means Murat was the general in chief? Were these only worn during a battle? Scott

Another old New Hope restored.

Thanks Al. That was the project I was thinking of. Scott

Victor, Love the colour in that figure. Here is another source for Napoleonic spare parts I just stumbled across from Metal Modeles- http://metal-modeles.com/en/metal-models-soldiers-of-lead/pieces-detachees/pochettes-de-tetes...

Thank you for posting this John. Very sad to read of his predicament, but as he says he has bills to pay. I have just purchased several figures and have seen other Treefroggers have done so on another thread. Lets hope it shows Darren there is support for his figures. It would be sad to see...

I am with Arnhem Jim and would agree they look very much like Roy Dilley's work. Below is an image from 'Modelling Miniature Figures' edited by Bruce Quarrie. Roy Dilley wrote a chapter in the book on converting old Britains hollow casts. Basically he was using the bodies of Britains figures...

Thanks John, Yes I used that figure as a painting guide. There is a French website with posts about that figure- http://www.leforumlafigurine.com/t10117-colonel-aide-de-camp-1801-atelier-maket The lace on the figure is fantastic. I couldn't match that in 54mm. I dry brushed the lace on the...

Recently finished Caron d'Hevilly and thought I would post some images of him here. Another great old Rose Miniatures kit. Scott

A little bit of progress on this figure. I purchased a bunch of Historex parts recently from the Kilted Vampire and have sorted out the right arm and musket and the sword for the left side of the figure. Still mucking around with left arm. Progress though! Scott

Hi Ana, Thanks for that link to the Imperial Cadet Corps story. Your mention of a book jogged my memory as I have a copy of this book. The book you are referring to is called 'A season in India- The letters of Ruby Madden', edited by Helen Rutledge and originally printed in 1976. Ruby Madden...

Ana, This is a great thread! A question. Can you add more as to who the Imperial Cadets were? I ask as I am aware of a small party from one Australian private school who attended the Durbar. Scott

I think ArnhemJim is on the right track. I have a couple of books on making and painting model soldiers from the late 1970s/early 80s era that describe the method. I will see if I can dig them out. Scott

Wow. What a very organised and tidy paint studio. Scott

Agreed! Would have like to have seen a bit more of Essie Davis before she was pushed off the stool as well:) The Arya Stark story is shaping up well.

Nice work Marc. The rust on the side skirts is particularly well done. Scott

It is a bit of a sleeper that Montalbano series but well worth watching. You are right about the characters in the series. The bumbling Clouseau type uniformed cop at the station always makes me laugh. The pace of the story is quite slow as well, but in a good way.

Thanks Brad. I have a British musket from an Airfix kit I can use. I thought they may have used a British weapon, however considering they were attempting to overthrow Spanish rule it may well be French. Looking at the Osprey image closely it does seem to resemble a Brown Bess around the stock...
