In this tread I recently posted, note that the Carabineer Officer was missing his sabre blade, and you can see the blade I fabricated for him in the next picture: https://forum.treefrogtreasures.com/threads/junk-no-way.84136/#post-1008337 Hope that helps, John

Thanks Steve, I really appreciate your comment.

What I do when I need replacement blades is make my own! I use wire, flatten it by hammering on an anvil, then filing the point and then drilling into the hand and glueing the blade into the hilt. For spears I only hammer one end of the wire, if it only a small tip, otherwise I use some flat...

Recently I came across some model figures that were 'surplus to requirements' and so got hold of them and have brought them up to standard to be exhibited. There was large lot, but these Napoleonic figures took my fancy. First was a 3 man vignette by Andrea depicting a French pair, Grenadier...

I'm so glad to have provided the impetus for you to show us your Battle diorama today, it now 18th June here in Aus. I love the camera angles show from both sides of the line, and the arial shots showing the Bristish Squares and the galloping French Cuirassiers trying to breech the 'Thin Red...

Thanks guys for all your kind comments, these particular set of figures go so well together showing what all soldiers in all wars do, standing around, watching the fire and waiting for forthcoming conflict. I'd like to see more figures like, from all eras, being produced, and not just fighting...

210 years ago, 17 June 1815, Napoleon with his Old Guard, the night before The Battle of Waterloo. John

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

You can still buy castings, so you get them painted. John

Good luck, I will watch this space and the months roll by ............:giggle:

Great idea, maybe Tom may use that for future figures? John

Brendan, Not sure about book, but on a 7YW website there is quite a detailed page on this battle. https://www.kronoskaf.com/syw/index.php?title=1760-01-22_-_Battle_of_Wandewash At the bottom there are references to couple of publications. It will be interesting if John will be bringing out...
