Hey guys, Wishing you all a very happy Easter. Hoping our ANZAC day is dry this year. I am in a colour party in Newcastle. We have been soaked for the past 3 years. Be nice to have a nice dry sunny day. Fingers crossed X, and for any non christians, all the best for a happy and peaceful, time as...

[B]If I could chat with anyone. The obvious choices are the big guys like Napoleon,God, movie stars etc. However, I had an ancester who was a sergeant major, on the battlefield at Waterloo in the British lifeguards. I think I'd like to get his perspective on the machinations of that day.Not the...

It's the same God really,we all just use different servers to email him/her/it. God has the mainframe. Johno.

Well guys, apart from the battles in bottles, I enjoy painting 54mm glossy Napoleonic,Marlburnian and ACW. At the mo, I'm putting together a French 1704 Lyonnis line and a British Marlburnian line. I have completed some vignettes of Napoleinic artillery and line of Grenadiers as well. The stuff...

Thanks Martin. Little snippets like this are good to see especially when we civilians don't get much info on Afganistan unless the media have something to complain about. Cynical me. Ta mate, Johno.

G'day Greg, You lucky dog. I would love to meet these folks. Strange thing is I emailed Beau Gest last year asking if they had some info on the French drummer from the Lyonnais regt Marlborough era. The lady Anna was just wonderful inthe pics she sent back. No sales in it yet she helped me out...

Sooooo, when are the guilletine (if thats how you spell it) buildings, going to start. I can't wait for the revolution. mmmwwwwhhhhaaaaaaa. Lovely job though mate. well constructed. I could get in to the swing I spose??? Johno.

Well Bromhead, heres a little hint. Don't try it till you're sober. It really dosent finish the way you planned it. Then again, maybe thats not a bad idea. hmmmmm{sm4} Cheers, Johno.

Hi guys, Someone asked to see a few more B's in B's. Thought I'd sent a few. As I didn't think to photo them in production I can't send the buildarama, however I will endeavour to soon. Tha Panther was built in 14 pieces and scratch built from balsa wood and cardboard. The others are metal...

{sm4}Mate thats bloody fantastic. You're a magician. Many thanks for the help, greatly appreciated. Cheers, Johno.

Thanks Johnny. You are of course right, in that there is a pletheroa of talent on this site to get help from. I also collect military buttons dating back to 1700's. There is little info on anything prior to this and limited around early 1700's regarding individual specifics with uniforms.I am...

I thought the same Mark, but I can't find a pic/painting of a drummer in the Scotts Guards 1704 period. I think lots on the armies formation and tactics etc, but limited on regiments uniforms. Cheers. Johno.

For anyone interested in something different. These are the Battles in Bottles line I do. Not restricted to vehicles, but also horsemen and foot figures of the 15mm war game figures. The Panzer went in 9 pieces, and the Bofor 40mm gun 11 pieces. I have a few more to show, if anyone would like to...

G'day guys, I have looked at the sites you put me onto. Greatly appreciated thankyou. There is some info there which is very usefull. There is a bit of conjecture with the drummers, in that the Guard regiments had the red coat with the same blue cuffs and the foot regiments had the coat as...

G'day Johnny, Thanks mate, I appreciate that. I'll give that a go. I'll let you know how I fare with it. Cheers, Johno.
