Judas Priest Simon, your post above contains a full 30 words {eek3}. I can only put that down to the fact that you must have purloined a thesaurus from someone {sm4}{sm4}{sm4} Bob

Recently added a few more K&C Texian defenders to my Alamo collection which I have tended to ignore these past few months Really like their desperately grim but determined expressions. Akin to a final realisation of what they are up against when they see the massed lines of Santa Ana's army...

Oops!^&grin^&grin^&grin Duke my Maths are usually better than that........ just put it down to me still suffering jet-lag from that 23 hour flight back from Oz. Thanks for all of your comments guys Bob

^&grin^&grin^&grin I'll only need one spanner....... to open the tin of red paint:salute::

I personally bought very little at last week's London show. Found a couple of very cheap Iron Brigade figures to swell the ranks and this unboxed Cavalry Sergeant. Dealer wanted £20.00 but I noticed the figure's pistol barrel was completely bent back on itself. Pointing this out to the dealer I...

The Brit Brigade's K Rations.......washed down of course with a few flagons of ale

Damian It would appear you have slightly misunderstood my post. These new Alamo figures are not plastic but are in fact solid metal as per the real McCoy K&C figures. However, you are correct that it is indeed the acute camera angle that has left the impression of a "bendy bayonet" on one of the...

Guys Back in harness having recovered from jet-lag. Hope to see some of you on the ice Saturday. However, NB our illustrious Field Marshall Rob Wilson will unfortunately not be on parade. Bob

Have recently returned from a very enjoyable five week vacation in Australia. Whilst in Melbourne we took a road-trip to Donnybrook to catch up with Howard (Northgate Woods) and his charming wife Jen. Their Toy Soldier Experience business celebrated its first anniversary back last November and...

Perhaps a tad premature guys but this coming Sunday I'm flying "Down Under" for six weeks and not getting back from Melbourne until five days before the London show-but I'll be there as I'm all booked and ticketed up. I'll catch you Brit Brigaders either on the ice or preferably in The Steam...

^&grin^&grin Buster with friends like you and Simon who needs ........^&confuse^&confuse^&confuse

As I was leaving the December London show to join my fellow Brit Brigade colleagues for our usual beer and grub meeting I spotted this Britain's figure of Col John Mosby on the table of a private dealer. It was a bit of an impulse buy for me because I already had the mounted figure in my...

Finally finished this book over the Christmas holidays. As a Brit I was not all that au fait with the author O'Reilly or indeed his politics- however, I was well versed on the subject matter which had prompted me to purchase the book in the first place. George Patton was a dynamic and...

Absolute knock-out to see that the age old tradition of Dad & Son constructing battles with toy soldiers on a table top is still alive and well in Alabama. Long may it continue.:salute::

Wayne Brilliant construction and brilliant painting. Word of warning though mate what with that amount of homing pigeons in your scene:- Apparently-so I have read- removing pigeon guano from those 1902 Pattern Service Khaki dyed tunics was the devil of a job, therefore I am assuming one would...

Recruited a new Reb skirmish line this morning and just in time for Christmas. Once again Ken extremely fine sculpts-Good talking with you at the London show and thank you for the heads up on what ACW figures you have planned for 2015.

Pardee's Field-Culp's Hill 10.00am July 3rd 1863 Ewell's II Corps launched an assault on Culp's Hill as a diversion for Longstreet's troops advance toward Cemetery Ridge. Ewell was ordered by Lee to attack at 10.00am in conjunction with Longstreet. But Longstreet delayed his attack for almost...

Pure artistry Mark. I've only ever used cigar smoke^&grin but your effect is stunning Bob

But.... where is the picture of the lads at the pub at lunchtime ... something not to be missed out on That's speaking from personal experience John Here you go John The divine light illuminating Jeff remains unexplained. They do say the sun always shines on the righteous. However...

Oh! Hell guys sounds like I've bought a bummer of a book albeit still very readable so far up to Chapter 5. But if it's as bad as you say then it doesn't say much for the great American readers who've put it at the No one bestseller position ^&confuse. Having never read any of O'Reilly's...
