Re: Ayton 15th-17th November 2024

This will probably boil down to the same discussion as last November.......to play at the Village Hall or the Lodge. Ten does indeed seem to be the magic number......that's ten people actually turning up of course.

Re: SYW French on the march

Stunningly gorgeous. I was going to wax lyrical about 1/72 plastic armies, but I see that the infantry at least are mostly metal Wodensfeld (and some Old John 'specials'). Iain The cavalry & artillery are all plastic - Revell, Zvesda & Red Box. No one makes French SYW so you have to improvi...

Re: 18thC Shoulder Knot - uniform question

Good work, GM. .....bit of a nutter though, right? EB, I put decals on the mitres of 18mm SYW figures and, on occasion, build 1/32 WWI aircraft- including making my own sparkplugs for the engines (proof below). So I don't think I can call anybody else a nutter just for adding a few shoulder knots. ...

Good heavens. Who would do such a thing!

What we need now is bodies and a count up. How much will the hall cost for the two days Mr P?

Airfix 1/76 Guards Colour Party

I never owned a box of these chaps in my yoof and thought I'd missed the boat. Then, a few months ago I spotted in the Airfix catalogue that the set was to be re-released this Summer. Huzzah!
