Flying Column Battle of the Monongahela (1755) - Conestoga Wagon The new Monongahela marching sets for the 48th are shown (BM48- Sets 5 thru 11), as well as the new awesome Conestoga Wagon (BAL-12). The command set for BM-48 is very much needed as the "correct" regimental colors for the...

Good Morning, Especailly as it regards Obee and The Baron, I could use some help here. I am thinking of having a few of the La Sarre marching figures modified to represent sergeants, corporals and lance corporals. I believe that only paint would be required (just gold and a yellow maybe for...

Montcalm's Army in North America French regiments were typically organized as two battalions, but only a single battalion would have been sent to Canada with the other battalion remaining in Europe. In the case of the Regiment de Berry, two battalions were sent to Canada (2nd and 3rd) with the...

Confession: the new wagon has me excited. Just some observations on the structure of a British Battalion during the French and Indian War. This references the 35th (Fort William Henry). When Scottish Regiments arrived in North American, the companies were much larger than English or Irish...

The Bushy Run Sets have additional uses beyond Bushy Run. In 1758, there was the Battle of Grant's Defeat at Fort Duquesne, Pennsylvania. Here the Major Grant of the 77th leading: (1) 60th Royal Americans: 6 Officers, 108 Other Men (2) 77th Highlanders (Montgomery's): Major Grant, 16...

After a full 6 months, the house remodel is finally on slow mode and I can now more easily return to the forum. That being said, last week I finally opened the barge box and crew boxes. Yep, they have spent months upstairs unopened. Haven't had the time to develop a scene, but the curio is...

Hi Guys, What is the material that John uses to make his plane models? Thanks!!!

Fort William Henry, 1757. Last of the Mohicans - still an all time favorite, but the artillery discussions between Colonel Monro and Major Heyward are horrid. Note the nearly hidden gate of the right side, only "seen" via the path and two of the curtain walls lack gun embrasures - no attack...

No idea if this will work, but going to try. Both Abercromby (Land Tortoise) and subsequently Amherst (Invincible) built these artillery radeaus (rafts). Mounted cannon, typically some 24-pounders. The Land Tortoise remains largely intact to this day. It is an historical site at the bottom...

New Game on Treefrog - Correct the Movie Dialogue!!!! Feel free to add your own most annoying dialogue quotes, but at the same time, you have to "correct" the dialogue. Blizzard here today, so a tad bored ....... Although I very much enjoy the movie the Last of Mohicans (1992), the...

Hello All, This post is a tad long and the explanation is convoluted, but in the end the logic is so compelling and flawless that I feel free to drag this out much more than is necessary. The Monongahela series released by John Jenkins suffers from having very few officer releases and in my...

Personally, I prefer to attach a name to my figures. I know it is a tad warped, but that is for another thread. For those deep into "trivia" and in case this question appears on Final Jeopardy someday: "During General Edward Braddock's Failed Expedition to Capture Fort Duquesne in 1755, who...

Looking to Buy a John Jenkins Figure (BM-03) Officer. The wanted figure is the Officer on the Right. Not the Flag Bearer or Drummer. A single figure on the right is fine. It can be loose without box. Please send private e-mail. Have pay-mail. Thanks
