Love the paintwork on the cape, John

Great to see the drummer, he will the troops 'In Step' :) John

Brilliant work there Robin. I'ts great to see that you can achieve a realistic diorama which is very 'Aussie'. I love the addition of a couple of 'Jumbucks' at the trough, All you now need is Bluey !!! John

It looks like this print is the incentive for John to produce this gun and detachment. I wonder if we also get a Goan (Portuguese) Gun Commander to go with the Indian Lascars???? John

It's not just 2 men, it's a line of grenadiers, and a detachment of gunners manning a gun and the GUN too ! bring them on ... John

It's good to see more Self-propelled Guns, this being a 150mm, being released that can be used for fire support for infantry. Makes a change from tanks !!! John

I've got a pair like thats, bought in Herat, Afghanistan, when I was on the 'Hippy Trail in the 70's. John

I've got a space on my shelf already cleared for this gun and detachment, so hopefully it will be released in the coming year, and not just be a 'thought bubble' !!! Guns and gunners, just what I LOVE !!! John

And here are few of mine, by Tradition. Officer Arcieren Life Guard, Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria & Officer Uhlans 1914 JOhn

Happy birthday Robin, Great to meet up recently, are you out for a vineyard lunch in McLarenvale today??? John

I hadn't thought of using that type of IKEA cabinet for display, all mine are in BILLY bookcases, but these have depth which is great for diorama bases. Now all I need is the space....! John

OK, but what about Original 'Curry' Indians from the sub-continent??? Only a couple of sets so far have come for The Battle of Wandewash !!!! John

I hope all of you who are attending that you have a great time, meet up with fellow collectors, makers and sellers you know, and all enjoy the day. Hopefully someone will post images from the day and that BIG John will also be there to post his wonderful YouTubes for us who can't be there. JOhn

I hope the first calendar page come out tomorrow HK time GMT+8, not North American time which is Monday for me because I'm also GMT+8 :) John

Yes, nice setup, I have one set of figures for the same scenario, this time in castings I painted but by Phoenix. John

WOW, I really like the 150mm Feldhaubitze sFH18. It will be interesting to see the detachment for this gun and see what poses they produce? Loading, firing or manoeuvring the gun? John

I think you are making the figures from "Charge of the 4th Hussars at the battle of Friedland, 14 June 1807 - Vive l'Empereur! " This is magnificent painting that I have seen here in the Art Gallery of new South Wales in Sydney. https://www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/collection/works/4560/ It is...

" Better late than never" they say, so thanks for showing us this lady in all her finery :) John

Guns and gunners, just what I love to see, but I wish they were from the Napoleonic era, much more colourful !!! John
