    Tel-el-Kebir Redoubt – my version!

    Very nice, Hopefully you made more than one while you have the exact materials handy so you could extend the redoubt and expand the scene in the future if you desire. It looks like the profile can be matched easily while you still have the exact thickness of base and foam to match . I think that...

    jjDESIGNS 10th ANNIVERSARY

    How about expanding the 7YW with the line he has already started. More line infantry, Artillery, more Austrian units, Hussars, Cuirassier, Dragoons, British, French, Hanoverians, Saxons, Bavarians, need I say more. Beautiful uniforms and Flags for a pleasing array of battles. What more could you...

    Repelling the Redcoats

    Very nicely photographed and I agree that is a great back drop. Where do all these nice backdrops come from. I rarely see dealers selling them and they are always to short when they do have them. I must be missing something because I have been searching for backdrops for awhile. Anybody got a...

    War Along the Nile - Tel-el-Kebir 1882 range.

    As a dioramist I really do not have a problem with the repainted figures because the poses are universal and if the rest of the uniform is correct I am OK. But I would expect the line to be supplmented with new poses and new units such as the Indians that were part of the British army at...

    My Leuthen collection - it's starting to come together.........

    Thank You for the beautiful pictures of the church. Would you happen to have a picture of the front of the church with the front door on the steeple side? Carlo are you taking this all in? It will make a beautiful model. Thanks Howard

    What would collectors like to see from W. Britain in the future.

    Thanks for the reply. I have looked on the internet and in many stylized prints of the Sudan War of the time they show the British carrying the Queens colors but no regimental colors. I do not know if that is just literary license or if in fact there were National Colors carried at certain...

    My Leuthen collection - it's starting to come together.........

    The Portal and Wall looks to have been altered with the addition that is built on to it that was not there during the battle. Does anyone know if this is the rear portal entrance to the church yard and if so did they have the exact portal on the opposite side of the front entrance to the church...

    What would collectors like to see from W. Britain in the future.

    That is an intresting theory and I wonder if it is a fact. Even if they did not carry regimental colors it would seem that they would have the Kings Colors as a rally point during battle. I wonder if anyone has any info or pictures to show that. I have seen other manufactures which have produced...

    My Leuthen collection - it's starting to come together.........

    That is intresting. I always thought that red tile roofs were Spanish origin. All the red tile roofs in the U.S. are of a Spanish architecture. I would love to go to Europe at least once so I would have a better idea of their enviorment. Howard

    My Leuthen collection - it's starting to come together.........

    Jim, Great pictures. Thanks for sharing them. Personal pictures seem to give a better idea of size and scale than pictures in a book. I wonder if the church had the Red Tile roof in 1757? does anyone know that for a fact? Howard

    What would collectors like to see from W. Britain in the future.

    Mounted officers with command set. I would truly love to have a Camel Corpman on a Camel with the British Flag. Also Horse mounted British cavalry for WON range.

    My Leuthen collection - it's starting to come together.........

    Carlo, Thanks for the quick reply. What scale would you have to do to make it realistically. The JJD gate and walls that they sell are probably less than 1/32 scale when looking at the pictures. As long as the scale looks realistic to the gate,wall,turrets that JJD has on the market I think you...

    My Leuthen collection - it's starting to come together.........

    Has anyone found a suitable model of a church in 1/32 scale that would work for the Luethen diorama? I am trying to do a more complete diorama of the battle and have heard a rumor that JJD wil be expanding the 7YW line soon. I have been looking but have not found one. Carlo if you read this post...

    My Leuthen collection - it's starting to come together.........

    I agree that all prone and causalty figures that are prone should have no base at all. Kneeling figures I am OK with either way. The prone figures fit into a diorama more realistically without a base. That is my observation. JJD makes causalty figures without bases and they look great. Just need...

    Birth of a Nation - 2016

    Yes, the age group that pays the bills prefer comic book action. Maybe they are just tired of the selection geared to a small part of the population. I've had to go to foreign film. In this politically correct movie era ther seems to be a sense of guilt with Hollywood for being too WHITE...

    My Leuthen collection - it's starting to come together.........

    I hope John does at least one Prussian Flag bearer for the command set also. The beauty of these old horse and musket battles was the ornate uniforms and lines of troops with their battle Flags flying. The pagentry of these old battles must have been something to behold. Howard

    ACW Bright & Shiny

    The beauty of glossing over the matte figures is that the detail is so much better on the matte figures that the gloss really brings out the definition. It really does look nice with the shading and not just solid colors like the original gloss figures. Great job and thanks for sharing the...

    Bustin' Out!

    I noticed that myself and it really does add a lot of realism and motion to your diorama. Also the black backdrop works well for the winter scene. It gives it a colder feeling to the Dio. Great Job and thanks for sharing. The new WWII of Britains is quite an improvement over First Gears...
