Written in 1826, the book can be read on-line. There is a BBC serial of the Last of the Mohicans (1970s) --- personally, I love the BBC serial, but other do not. It was made for Masterpiece Theater. Many takes can be viewed on you-tube. The Indian camp scenes in the later chapters are very...

In November 1944, my father got a ride home on the Bunker Hill. His airgroup was being rotated out (Airgroup 15 - Essex). On November 20th, the Bunker Hill left the Ulithi Anchorage and sailed east, reaching Pearl Harbor around the November 28th. After a few days shore leave, the Bunker Hill...

June 20, 1944 - Battle of Philippine Sea: Only 3 Corsairs in All of Task Force 58. (US: 7 Fleet Carriers and 7 Light Carriers). All 3 on the Enterprise (CV 6 - Fleet Carrier). Often Consider the Second Largest Naval Battle in History; Marianas' Turkey Shoot; and the Last Big Carrier Against...

Very much enjoying this thread. The work is simply outstanding. https://archive.org/details/militaryaffairsi00cumb/page/478 Above link is a fun read especially if you slowly view artillery stores and the shipping list, some 360 items (9 Pages of Items). The tie between ammunition types and...

Feel free to add 1 officer of the 44th to the scene. Captain William Eyre was both a line company captain and an engineer in the 44th. With William Johnson leading the expedition against Fort Saint Frederic, Braddock had reassigned Eyre to Johnson's Expedition - so Eyre was not at Monongahela...

Hirst Art Molds, Very Useful Here and actually very easy to mold. http://www.hirstarts.com/molds/moldsegypt.html

Notice the company sizes and the number of lieutenants and sergeants per company. The grenadier company is under Captain Ince, the Company in the Fort under Captain Ormsby. The other 35th companies are in the Entrenched Camp (5 companies, very much like the Ticonderoga log walls), or at Fort...

Monthly Roster of the 35th Regiment of Foot from September 1757; one month after the Siege of Fort William Henry in August 1757 Having a ton of trouble edit this, only my written text is appearing.

I haven't read Drums along the Mohawk in many years, I will need to get a copy. Plus there was the wonderful film. Personally, I am hoping for many civilian and militia poses, especially militia marching, cattle and maybe axe men for road building. I know they had scene in the movie where...

You guys amaze me, here I am with a brilliant plan but simply afraid to act, just need to change the lace band on the tricorner hats on the New Jersey Blues from gold to white and you have Virginia marching to the Monongahela!!!!!! Simply outstanding work!!!

I am still firmly in the 18th Century. But if an Essex Class Carrier is released, it will be extraordinarily difficult not to collect and my posts will be long and detailed. For example: Did you know that, as it regards the Avenger Torpedo Bombers, the only difference between the...

Wonderful Scene and Brilliant Idea of Fall Colors, very much appreciate the posting. If you have any of the 60th Marching Sets, those could be easily added or the earlier BM Virginia Sets under the umbrella of the successful 1758 Forbes Expedition, Fort Duquesne (Pittsburgh). As it regards...

Very well done. The trenchwork is a perfect match for the somber mood so visible on the figures.

Hello Everyone, Looking for 3 sets of BM-04 to complete my display. But will buys single sets. Please send private tell. Thanks. Fraxinus

Very nice indeed!!!!

Most excellent!!! Thanks so much for posting.

Sounds like it is a shell from a 13-inch mortar, not a cannonball which would be solid shot.

It very much depends on who sculpted the Conte figures, the earliest releases of the Conte Rangers and Indians are among the best figures ever, and then some of the latest are not nearly as nice. In all likelihood, just different people doing the actual art work. The early Indian figures can...
