Victor, I wouldn't have recognised the new table if I saw it, your old one had so much 'character' and seen so many creations, that I'm sad to see it go. This sure looks brighter and claener, but maybe that will only last a short time as your keep on producing your miniature masterpieces. :) John

Not all that good, as there is no camouflage and buildings are an obvious location for an OP. If this is for Normandy, the Allied Airforces has air superiority, so they better keep a lookout posted for those aircraft with black and white stripes ........!!! John

Yes, and he's only 5 hours away from me :) John

Louis, if you ever get to go to Singapore, and visit Victor, as I did earlier this month, you will really marvel at the 'real thing' when seeing these 3D masterpieces in all their glory. But be prepared for loads of discussion and talking about our mutual hobby, with a most cordial host in...

This is a pic of some 54mm LASSET figures I recently painted. the figures on the left are German Regiments, white the blue trousers on the right are Austrian Regiments from the Infantry of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, 1810. 5 Grenadiers in bearskin hats and one fusilier in shako. And 4 3-D...

Pity that they didn't make a layer, who aims and fires the gun, NO use without him :cry: John

Yes, I have most of the 54mm Nap moulds, and this set was my most impressive, but using a few other arms for the instruments to have a full band. Band of the Grenadiers of the Imperial Guard And these 'At Rest' group. John

Brendan, thanks for posting the images of your trip to the Emerald Isle and visiting Prince August Factory/Showroom. That has been on 'must see' list for many years, about 25, since I first purchased some of their Molds and cast my own army. Seems like you had a great time there, hope all of...

Victor, I like use of gold? rings for the bases of the columns, very clever of you :) John

Brendan, Yes they look nice, but what about the washing after a day on the battle front??? Luckily the offices wore a light grey coat so the look OK for the mess dinner that night :) By the way, these soldiers are Hungarian, as depiced wearing the sky blue trousers, all part of the...

I'm sure you will some nice comments on you fine work. I loved seeing earlier this month. John

A great time was had by all, thanks for the hospitality, Victor, see you next time so can see your current projects 'in the flesh', rather that just the images, so I can really see the 3D aspect. They are true masterpieces 😁 John

Looks like you are getting them ready for 'inspection' :D John

I'd have to agree with that Brendan, John

The figures I have displayed have assembled and painted from castings about 20 years ago and were languishing on a shelf in my collection. ACW hasn't been a big interest to me, but I just loved these figures made in Australia by Paul Clarke of Shenandoah Miniatures. Recently I was sorting my...

Mike, there are couple of shops in Brussels, do a search and you can find them. As far a regional city, the only thing that I found were at Sunday street markets where you may find old figures. Bruges John

Very nice :) John

Mike, you don't really need a guided tour, just wander around yourself, its a great museum and spend about half a day there. Waterloo is another 'Must see' place to go, and spend a day or two around the Flanders Battlefields, stay in Ypres and go to the Menin Gate for the Last Post ceremony...

Here's another from my collection. French Royal Artillery c 1750 on a defensive fortification. Tradition of London casting I painted. John

Mark, you need to reposition the detachment ..... the Bombardier No2 holding the rammer is on the right and he operates the breech as well as ramming the projectile into the Breech. The No4 who is holding the projectile is on the left, and behind him is the No5 who holds the cartridge case...
