@JTam   Thank you. I can at least attest that it's easier to have a dedicated desk for it rather than using the same desk where I do my homework and followed digital lectures (may or may not ...

I used the Perry prussian plastic command sprue

@Charles Berque Thanks Charles - my schoolboy French is just a tad rusty...

I don't think I've ever had to make a diorama in my school career. Except once an air raid shelter in primary school I think. (Current UK student)

I do not recall anything quite like, quite as big, as Hobby Lobby in the UK or Germany. Mrs. GG has suggested Obi, a DIY shop that normally sells home improvement materials but does have a small ho...

Another fun one.  Honestly a weird hybrid of a an Infantry and vehicle kit. What is it? The Welbike.  Over 3000 built.  Used from 1942 to 1945, notably at Arnhem.   ...

Does the UK have stores similar Hobby Lobby (huge hobby warehouse chains)?  Do children in the UK make dioramas in school?  What do they get as homework to model?  Your history is so...

Congratulations!  😀

This is a mad-house.  A MAD-HOUSE!!! The space-ape looks fantastic!  I like the way that the Cannon Fodder body works so well at suggesting a leather bomber-jacket over a flight suit, th...

Just went down the Google rabbit hole. They are called "Shoe Box Dioramas."  Looks like 28mm would work very well. In this case five Union Soldiers face off against five Confederate Soldiers...

@Estoc   Reference a) It's a product proposed for US school children to be sold in US stores.  I don't think it being a US only conflict is problematic. (Also, I suspect the American C...

Really interesting stuff! The ship hats are........  ..... ....... ..... interesting. But you're definitely making a statement wearing that. I know this may be heresy, but looking at that l...

@Charles Berque  Really interesting stuff.  Was completely unfamiliar with that campaign. https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man%C5%93uvre_d%27Uskub (Wiki article for those who want to re...

@JTam It seems to me that he only accepted the part about american minis?  Also, if this does somehow go through, the civil war is an ill-suited conflict, as it: a) is only a US conflict b...

@JTam it is called "Manœuvre d'Uskub" however I did some mistakes by writing from vague memory, the initial fight, the battle of Dobro Polje was against Bulgaria, the breach made here was th...

Oh and don't get me started on animal skins! (Sorry for Janissary spam). 

Nice work.  Thanks for sharing a picture of your work.  Like the composition with the terrain in the background.

Here are some more cool Janissary illustrations - the decorative motifs like ships and windmilks on their hats would make super cool models I think: 

@Cole Lassell ow didn't see it, thx mate, nice thing to hear!

@JTam  I might be completely wrong on all fronts, especially before I've had my coffee lol. Been doing more research on 17th C ottomans you expressed interest in to see how different they were...

@Nathan Ward maybe with the title "on ne passe pas" there shall be no conflict then, I think this impersonal formulation is even more used as a motto than "ils ne passeront pas", as shown by the me...

To support the Russian release.  Tachanka! Good for WW1, Bolshevik Revolution, Polish-Soviet War, WW2, and more. More details here: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic...

@Forrest Wentworth  Great write up/analysis.  Thanks!

Alternate packaging:

@Charles Berque They stated on the FB post that both versions will be avaliable. It gives the kit more uses then just being for WW1 french.

Looking good!

Not the best but should help. It was interesting for me to see that the bigger heads looked better to my naked eye than they do in the photos. The vehicles were sold to me on eBay, used but sold a...

@Hudson Adams  The head selection on the Stargrave sprues by North Star Are brilliant however I am sure there are some things WGA could do it add even more variety to everyone's kitbashing bit...

I'm building and painting some dark age Irish, here are the first 6.   The middle guy in green, has had his skin done with kislev flesh and no wash. And the guy with the cloak on the left ...

What kind of game can you do with two small Civil War opposing units?  Well honestly most of the fun is going to be facing off, rolling dice to hit, and removing individual casualties.  T...

@Hudson Adams  LOL.

@Will Mansell  Thank You for the synopsis.  It's good to learn something new every day.

Here's mine...  

This makes me want to do a Death Fields heads sprue! 

I kid.  Really cool idea.  

@Nathan Ward  You mean like this?  

Ah, Einherjar, one of the few sets I do not have yet. I really need to grab one. Thanks for the inspiration.

I will try to get some photos up later. For now, here is some fun from the past... looks like this is an old debate... http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=273810 http://wpggamegeeks.bl...

This very handy.

Cool

I think it's an interesting thought.  The army builder boxes already have good looking figs coming in at around 60 cents each.  You can get okay starter brushes for about 50 cents each.&n...

@Ian Jewett  A Guard and Sister player?  You are a man of taste.

@Grumpy Gnome  The age you are aiming at is the Dad's ;) But also, whatever age kids are assigned to make certain dioramas.  There's probably more variability than when I was a kid, but...

@Ian Jewett  Fantastic.  The finished Army is going to be something to see.  The vehicle park already is!

@Charles Berque  Concur. That's an interesting action you describe the French cavalry executing.  Off to research.  Thanks!  

Despite life's interruptions work continues. Sister for scale.

@JTam  

@Grumpy Gnome Yeah, thats probably the wise chose, the HB kit has lots of parts and I think 2 or 3 ways to make it up and it is more of a display kit (so yeah, not a single sitting kit to build), b...

@Grumpy Gnome @JTam Actually I think it might be doable if you target the market right, and it does not actually need to be pioneers even since I know a Russian company named Tehnolog sold many o...
