Mark, Great job, I love the American Rev. period. Are those Britain's backdrops? I use them for all my dioramas, it really adds depth to the setup. Howard

The Celtiberian Scutari are bad ass. They were Hannibal’s best troops in my opinion. Great job on these figures. Howard

Jason, Very well done. You might think about getting W. Britains blue sky background. It can be used for almost any diorama. Thanks for posting the pictures. Howard

This is the first time I tried posting pictures. I hope they come out OK. Opening charge of the battle of Zama. Black Hawk and JJD figures. Howard

Well done Mark, it is amazing how a backdrop gives a diorama depth and really makes it pop. Thanks for sharing. Howard

What a sweet setup, even I could get around there in my wheelchair and still be able to play with the troops. That’s what dreams are made of! Howard

If you want the most bang for your buck you take the time to catalog as you are doing and list them separately as you go on a website of your choice for sale. Take time to research going rates so you sell at fair rate. Otherwise to sell it in one lot you will have to make a very attractive...

They look great, is there going to be flag bearers, regimental and Kings colors? Howard

Very interesting and one of the least known battle of Normandy. Thanks for the link I watched it complete and enjoyed it. What a great victory it was for the Allies. Howard

Agree, looking forward to the fourth elephant. I have been interested in Hannibal and the elephants crossing the alps since I was a little kid. Loved the Victor Mature movie back in the 60's. I need more romans now that I will have so many elephants in my diorama. Elephants were the heavy armor...

“Summertime, Sweet Summertime “ Thanks for the memory Howard

Jason, I loved this period and enjoyed your diorama. Thanks for sharing. My personal preference is to add casualties to my dioramas for more realism. I guess they are not big sellers but I wish more companies would add them to their different periods of conflict. Howard

It is sad to hear about the only show in Texas is gone again. I guess the cost to run the show is not profitable. We really enjoyed the show and location in historic San Antonio. Will miss the gathering of like minded collectors of military history. If anyone wants to revive it I will surely...

You could try calling Martin at Davey Crocketts Cabin at the Menger Hotel but if it’s not on the books by now I don’t think it will happen. Howard

Thank you Chris for this article but I think it raises more questions than answers. The plate describes it as an African elephant with ears painted red. But the general consensus is that these elephants were too small to carry a howdah with 3 men much less all the weight of the armor on the...

Chris, Thank you for the info and pictures relating to the elephants ears painted red. Even though they do not relate to Hannibal or the Carthaginians it is some historical evidence that some armies may have painted their elephants ears red.Personally I have never heard or seen that before so...

Bump

I see that the JJD elephants that he is releasing has the inside of the ears painted red. Supposedly he believes that Hannibal painted the elephants ears red at Zama but I cannot find anything that agrees with that. Does anyone have any information on that or can shed some light on this...

Britains just keep upping their game. Thanks for the pics. Howard
