I finally ordered 36127 British Royal Artillery 9 Pound Gun and 4 Man Crew (along with 36126, the command set). They arrived today, and I'm very pleased with the sets, but I noticed that that the hand spike on the cannon bends upwards about 45 degrees from the trail. I'm more familiar with Civil...

Hi everyone, I would be interested in purchasing the earlier W. Britain standing and kneeling firing poses from the 95th Rifles (36038 and 36039) at a reasonable price. Or leads as to who might still have these retired poses for sale. I recently acquired the latest 95th Rifles firing poses...

A set-up featuring the three Union gun crews in my collection. (Since taking these photos, I've added 31056 "Loading Canister" to my artillery park.) Coincidentally, these sets feature the three main cannon of the Civil War, left to right: the 10-lb Parrott gun, crewed by WB's Old Northwest...

I was wondering if there are any plans for Union soldiers cheering/waving/hats in the air? I'm in the market for figures to complement 31219 President Abraham Lincoln #2 (doffing his hat). I have some camp/non-combat Union poses from WB, but most of them would look like they're giving Old Abe...

I just got a good deal on Britains's "Loading Canister" set on eBay, and the seller informs me that he has several other W. Britain ACW items for sale. They are: 1X 31065 10# Parrott Gun No.1 1X 31072 Artillery crewman in Shirtsleeves with Ramrod 3X 31084 Union...

TSSD Union artillerymen manning a painted Penncraft Napoleon cannon. Like my photos of the AIP "heavies," these shots feature the same Bresica gun emplacement, the same muddy slope, and were taken several years ago. I still need to paint the rope on the gun trail. I'm also going to add some...

I took these photos several years ago on a muddy slope shortly after painting my Armies in Plastic sets of Union heavy artillery. These really were a pleasure to paint up. The artillery emplacement is by Bresica. The crew in greatcoats is serving a 24-pound siege gun. The crew in...

This is a conversion I completed several ago of an Imex Union officer. A number of guys from the Accurate/Imex family have a propensity for going into battle armed only with a pistol, so sometimes I like to beef up their armament. Since this officer is taking such careful aim with his revolver...

A quick set-up I put together several Christmases ago, in which the Shawnee have broken through Booneborough's gates, only to be met be Daniel Boone and his fellow settlers in furious combat. A knot of settlers and their women-folk around the well keep the Indians at bay with rifle and musket...

You can think of this as the sequel to the Palmito Ranch diorama, even though it depicts an earlier battle. When I first visited the Texas Civil War Museum, they already had Palmito Ranch. By the time of my second visit, they had added a new diorama depicting the timely counterattack by the...

Diorama of the Battle of Palmito Ranch, the last battle of the Civil War (Texas Civil War Museum) Not many dioramas can claim the notoriety this one has. I'm not sure if the story has been covered on the forum before, but long story short. A high school class from Arizona created, including...

I have several albums with photos taken of dioramas at historical sites, and now I'm finally able to share these on the forum as I intended. Without further ado, the first photos are of a great display in the museum at George Washington's Mount Vernon, depicting the Battle of Fort Necessity...
