    Thanks for taking the time to post these photos. It's wonderful to see the whole set up. The Barzo fort and the Jenkins longhouses look great.

    Is there any hope Richard?

    From Scott: I knew it :mad:. From Ken: Good news indeed. ;) In my modest opinion, in an opinion which does not have any sales figures at hand, I think we need traditional French, i.e. la Franche Marine, and fortunately Hurons and Iroquois are interchangable (they were the same culture...

    Is there any hope Richard?

    I have a fair number of the glossy French-Indian War / Bluecoat / Redcoat series. But the Indians and French are out-numbered. Is there any hope for Indians, and Montcalm and others in the future? I'd love Indians hanging around the longhouse, going hunting, at the trading post, hiding in the...

    Thank you Mike and Carlos. Beautiful work. I too really like those stockade photos. I wonder how the hinges were done for the stockade gate. And Scott, I checked out your blog and liked the bubble script that read, :)

    Britains the War Along the Nile

    Very nice Builtrite. I always enjoy photos from the collections of other members. Thank you. Also, I'm a bit curious. What's on the shelf below in that cabinet? Is it the American Civil War?

    The Next Dodo Bird

    Hi Brad, yes, I have co-raised a son and a daughter and a nephew too. Only now, years later, am I beginning to find out about all the things that were going on behind my back. God bless them. The daughter came later and she never did any of those terrible teenage things. Of course I might be...

    Think You Had a Hard Day?

    I saw this on Yahoo news yesterday. I hope the captain had some extra strength Tylenol. Is that container slipping into the sea my order of Britains?:confused::o Maybe some K&C is also slipping overboard. Happened close to Mumbai I believe.

    The Next Dodo Bird

    I love this, reading the spectrum of opinion. Brad, I think you are right about my daughter, and maybe right about me too. In a way the train has left the station and I'm still standing on the platform having kind of decided to not get on. I'm a bit lost but not unhappy being a Dodo. Brad: Is...

    Maybe GICOP was hinting that the rest of us should post some photos of our cabinets, shelves or whatever. :D

    The Next Dodo Bird

    I don't dislike technology per se, still I can understand Trooper saying that. For example Trooper, I like the internet especially on this forum :). I don't have a cell either, although I can see it might be useful if the car breaks down on the highway. My daughter is twenty-five. When she was...

    Thanks for the photo Martyn. I enjoy dioramas but I do have a soft spot for displays in a display cabinet.

    Battle of Trafalgar

    Hi Bernard (Cardigan600) and the rest of you Treefroggers. Well Bernard because of this thread you started, last night I made my bedtime reading the battle of Trafalger. Having refreshed my memory*, I'm beginning to understand why Nelson may deserve the credit attached to his name for...
