:o G'day guys, Your comments just blow me away. Greatly appreciated, thanks. In answer to some questions. I paint all these, and generally they are all customised from castings. To me this is what modelling is all about. I don't know about you guys, but when I'm doing this, I just find myself in...

You know its sad to see a young life taken short. We all do something dumb in the name of fun, especially when we're young. I survived in spite of myself, and yep did some really stupid ( thought they were funny at the time ) things. Lucky I lived to be wiser. My boy is 17, and sometimes PLANKS...

G'day Jeff, Thanks mate. As for the Artillery team question. Well the firing artillery crew are a composition of Prince August bodies with Andrea heads. The Artillery team with horses are from a company called " Castings A Div. of REB TOYS, INC. Both guns are from this company. I got these...

G'day John, I did this conversion from 2 figures I had been given a while ago. They might have been Prince August. The uniforms were a later era, and they didn't have hats,drum,musket,sticks or pipe, which I made, as well as the dog. Johno.

{sm4}Just a couple more pics to finish. Johno.

G'day guys, Well I thought I'd display some of my gloss 54 mm work. I mix and match the makers figures and try to put up a scenario, and sometimes with a caption. For instance the Napoleonic artillery firing has a caption of " Pardon mon Capitaine ". The French drummer and infantryman from...

{sm3} G'day Mike. Just fantastic mate. They look like stills from a movie or being there on the day. Well done. I know some guys who would spend ages looking at that dio. Just great. Cheers, Johno.

Thanks Martin. The thing I love about the British military is the rigid professionalism they/you have. Thats what makes it so riveting to watch. I did see that horse bolt, and wondered. Now I know why. Was just joking about the Navy.Thanks mate,Johno.

G'day Martin, Thats a historic day for this reinstitution.Does that mean this rank is permanent for RSM's or only him? Cheers, Johno.

{sm2}If they dumped him at sea in a plastic bag.......does that now mean he would be called ......OSAMA BIN LINER ???{sm4} YEP I MAKE JOKES OF HIM BECAUSE HE WAS A REALLY NASTY JOKE. His Karma finally caught up with him.{sm3} Johno.

Interesting...Horse and trooper fall and no one moves to help. I can see the Navy there thinking......"can't see a thing...nope....can't see a thing. Johno{sm2}

You're a real BLOKE aren't you? I do agree though.....sister is hotter. Johno.{sm4}

G'day Dave, Sorry I have not replied until now mate. I'm learning how to use this forum. I live in Newcastle NSW about 2 hours drive north of Sydney. I plan to do some photos of my 54mm stuff this comming week, and later put up my figurine sculpts which I mount in bottles. What toy soldier area...

Very sorry to hear about the tornados in the South. Seems the world is angry these days. Our thoughts go out to all the people affected in those storm tracts. Thinking of you from Australia. Johno.

{sm2}I watched it for the history, uniforms and medals being worn. One little tidbit. Did you notice that Harry and other Cavalry officers walked funny? Thats because they wear spurrs, and have to keep their heels out so they don't strike the boots, or trip them up. Cavalry are more impressive...

{sm4}I have to agree Pete.My wife and I watched it for entirely different reasons. I love the uniforms, and identifying the medals the guests were wearing. She agreed, the men were better dressed than the women. I think it was well filmed as well. Cheers, Johno.

{sm4}I love the individual looks on the soldiers faces. They say everything and give them personality. Well done mate. Johno.

{sm3} Paul, that is bloody fantastic mate. It looks like stills from a movie. I do love a dio and the era that is set in. Well done, it's a credit to you. Cheers, Johno.{sm4}

G'day Guys, Thanks so very much for the best wishes for ANZAC Day. We had our parades yesterday, and strangely we didn't get wet this year. I am in a colour party that attends 2 seperate memorial parades. Over the past 3 years we got soaked and I mean wet. A small price to pay in respect for the...

{sm3} {sm3} And the very same to you Martin. Have a good one mate. Johno.{sm4}
