Non fighting poses (1 Viewer)

[1879fanatic]

My pet gripe is that the ratio of buglers/drummers/flag bearers/officiers/artillery and personalities to basic troops is usually far too high in most ranges. I need one Centurion for every one hundred men not one for every five. I have 3 Reverend Smiths handing out ammunition, I don't need a fourth. Nor do I want one guidon bearer, one bugler, one officer and one Napoleon for every trooper.

I have enough Reverend Smiths to make The Rorke's Drift Seminary! Though I would enjoy drummers over buglers without drums. And I have the Queen's and Regimental colours for every half-company in the battalion.

I also find the «cantinieres» or camp followers an interesting concept....

i know you do,i am talking about WBritain set of Wives(for sale or trade) if you are interested!!!You can use them as camp folowers or anything like that.Very fancy!!!
Well do not forget tommorow to watch football between Portugal and Bosnia!!!
My country play against Russia!!!
For which Portugal Club are you fan?
I like Benfica,than Porto,Sporting and Guimaraes.
I also like Boavista but they fall in 2 or 3 league.
And i think Braga is becoming a good team also.Maybe after a few years they can developed in a strong team even it is hard to beat Porto,Benfica and Sporting,because i think it is always on eof this tree the champion(win the league).Must be kind of boring if you are a fan of som eother club because that mean you will never celebrete a tittle :

Hi, I see you know a lot about our teams! I support Sporting (a lowly 8th right now, I believe). But Benfica and Braga are the ones playing better now, Benfica especially has been turning on the style. Good luck Slovenia! About Portugal, I have a long travelling day tomorrow, maybe I'll listen to it in my car radio, amidst some Procol Harum tapes...

Well i always like Portugal national team,but that was before Cristiano Ronaldo.I really do not like him and he never play good for Portugal national team anyway.
I like Portugal when they have players like Luis Figo,Fernando Couto,Paulo Sousa,Joao Pinto,Cadete,Conceciao,Sa Pinto,Vittor Baia,Abel Xavier,...From this team i like only Nuno Gomes,but he do not play a lot.
No wthe players like Cristiano Ronaldo,Fereira,Carvalho,Ricardo,Pepe,Deco,....i do not like that players and what bug me the most is that there is almost no real Portugal.Cristiano is from Madeira,Pepe,Deco are from Brazil,Nani is from Kapfveder Islands,...
I hope one day for Portugal will play ONLY Portugals and than i will cheer for them again.Because this "foreigners" just do not try too hard,at least not for national flag.They play good for their clubs but bad for the country.
I am sure Diaz,Pedro Alvares Cabral,Fernando Magellan,Vasco da Gama,Henry the seaman,...will turn over the graves if they see what is hapening with their country they build

A soldier spends very little of his time in actual combat. Most of it is the dull misery of eating, marching, sleeping, etc.

I do WW2 conversions and have a customer has had me do quite a few WW2 GIs in non-combat poses. It's challenging but kind of fun.

Gary B.

You are so right, Gary B.

When you are not eating, marching, sleeping etc. you just wait, wait and wait..........................until the next order.

Hi Martyn,

Thanks very much for sharing the pictures of your Trophy Zulu Marriage Ceremony.

It is a very impressive display. Great Job !!

Well this is quite surprising. So I realise that we are just a tiny sliver of the collecting community but it seems many of us want non fighting poses. Hopefully the manufacturers will take note and give us what we want.
