Marty,
Thanks for the scan! I did not realize the boat was from the Crimea period. It is also 3feet long!

Lt, who do I have to kill to get that boat? Did the Lil Captain approve the requisition on that PO?

Sorry to say my Lord General I don't own it and if I did I would have bribe The Little Captain with loads of treats for his approval for a PO, Your Aide De Camp....The Lt.

Nicely done version of Major Smith's efforts to save his gun Martyn. What's next?

Great stuff coming out of the United Kingdom at the moment! My only question is...Where's Lt. Curling, my main man? Can't wait for the morrow!

Hi Mike, try this.


Trying to save the guns continued……………….

Lieutenant R.A. Curling, while attempting to get the guns away is stopped by a ravine. Various troops are trying to help including Mounted Infantry, RA gunners and 24th Officers and men.

Lieutenant Curling is forced to abandon the guns and make his escape.


Trophy never did a “Trying to save the guns” set but I have put this diorama together using only Trophy AZW figures.

I see someone had a great time setting up and taking photos. It had to be a few hours of sure pleasure and it shows it Martyn. Would love to have be along side of you when setting it all up but being unable to thanks for making me feel that I was. Thanks Martyn for sharing it with us and I'm sure you'll have made 1879 day.......The Lt.

Martyn,
Holy Krikees! A brilliant set-up of some realy nice guys. Imagine yourself running that gauntlet, or better yet staying at Isandlwana in a small square of best friends with no ammo and no hope, but glory.

And what is this I see here?

Martyn,
Please secure Charlie in a crate, it looks like I'm on another mission. Just said my goodbyes to the wife and kids, told them I'll be on Special Service with a local brevet rank of Captain!.
