Michael,
You should know I'm a sucker for camp scenes, as are a lot the Boys, and this is another wonderful football display. Do you ever sleep?

He does from time to time my Aide de Camp and that's only when he hasn't got any new JJ figures to play with. Knew he'd be playing with them tonight. Nice additions Michael being played in your football display and I'm not sure which your having more fun with the display or the JJ figures but a sure bet would be on the JJ figures. Thanks for sharing them.....The Lt.

Mike

Just recently didn't you post a photo of that very attractive girl-friend of yours ? As you seem to be having a hell of a lotta time on your hands executing these wonderful dios I was just curious how you manage your two interests

I know which one would take up most of my spare time!

Only kidding Mike-great dio as usual and that is superb ground cover your using-Thanks for posting

Thank you Mike, Joe, Frank, Andanna, Titus and Bob.

UK.....I have my priorities straight,

I think me and John have a clear understanding of the order of things,

and he's not mad.

I can play with soldiers all night long but..........they don't play back.

The wigwam is nice, as are the new Indians, both sets.

I don't think anyone does Indians as well as John, honestly.

I'm going to take some photos of the new,

QFM-04, French Marines, firing, loading, Plains of Abraham, as a versatile Monongahela figure.

BCH-04, 1st Regiment of Foot, kneeling wounded, Battle of Chippawa,

and

SWI-04, "A Little Help", Battle of Snow Shoes.

Great pictures Michael. After looking at the figures I see more orders on the horizon. I already see two more BOS sets coming out. I have to get set SRR-009- Falling Back and one I missed. Set 005 French Militia. I did make a mistake and ordered a set I had but was able to switch it before it was shipped. John

 

[mikemiller1955]

Thank you John, the QFM-04, is a must buy, it is a versatile piece.

John said since they had no attatched bayonets (forest warfare) and since they were dressed in the summer coats, they would work for both Monongahela and Quebec.

Another excellent job Mike!! I love the whole layout and you made good use of the scenics.

Very nice Mike. And a great looking wigwam. I like these Frontline hunters in the photo below. Maybe they're too peaceful looking for you?

When you bought your Jenkins Indians did it say which tribe/nation they were? I'm wondering because the Iroquois and Hurons used longhouses.

Algonquins lived in wigwams like the one Mike has displayed.
The Abenaki at St. Francis were Algonquins so Mike has shown us an appropriate dwelling.

Yes, the wigwam was designed for the Algonquins,

and "The Hunters" is a great match for it,

but I did stick some "war painted",

what I presume are Ottawas in the shot.

Russell, I like peaceful sets, I do a lot of "campfire" dios, I have always liked that Frontline set you posted and have just never purchased it because a lot of people have said they look weak next to John's Indians.

This is also a great set:

Hi Mike, Now I don't want you to be thinking that I've got shares in Frontine figures.

Here are a few photos.

Next time I'm in the US I'll be getting one of those 'football' windows.

 

[mikemiller1955]

Russell, those are really cool.

Ebay has the cases.
