The French army begins to assemble

Still getting ready for the demo game at Newark on the 22nd however thought it was time to see what the French army is starting to look like.
More cavalry and artillery on the table to paint.

Carronade Show - Falkirk 7th May

Starting to get ready for the show at Falkirk on the 7th May
There's a pre.order voucher for orders over £50 on the shop valid until the 30th April.

Just a quick picture of a vignette I've done using the sutlers cart I sell by Westfalia Forge, the characters I think are Foundry, the dog is from Westfalia Miniatures and barrels etc are from the bits box.

Salute 2016

Well my second year at trading at Salute and another good show ( although i do wish I could be a penny behind Forgeworld where the queue seemed endless and equally the money being spent

But congratulations to the Warlords for another excellent show. More pictures and comments on my Scotia Albion blog. My son came with me and helped greatly even if he didn't always know what he was selling.

It was so good to meet up with quite a few of my regular customers especially those who'd traveled to the show from Spain, Italy, Norway and France.

A handful of pics of the stand and my son working on growing his beard to be like Ragnar .

Salute this weekend and Minden equipment news

well last minute reinforcements are due to arrive from Griffin, so some more last minute packing.
I guess I've blistered close on a thousand packs for this event and even with the best planning and late casting requests a couple of unexpected last minute pre.orders has left a couple of codes low! :( hope no one wants Prussian 12 pounders!
All stock will be in the hall tonight ready for packing into the hire car first thing tomorrow and then hopefully we will be there in time to set up.
Looking forward to meeting those of you who can make it.

Finally Jim has given me permission to stock the new pieces of equipment so when I return from Salute I will be ordering the Brummers and the Austrian artillery.

New units and Customer Pics.

Whilst in that lull before the storm that is Salute thought I'd take a couple of pictures of units I've recently based and flagged.
First up the French Regiment Vermandois with flags by Maverick Models. Figures painted by Steve Allen.

 Then we have the Buffs painted by Mark Allen, flags by Flags of War lots more to do for the demo game at Partizan!

Finally from one of my customers Truls Fjell The Colonel General Cavalerie, using the FitzJames figure - very nice work.

Even more new stuff

Jim has published photos of the new Hessian figures sculpted by Richard.
I'm pleased to say that as these form part of the Fife and Drum range I will be stocking them.
No dates yet but soon.
As Jim says these are also suitable for Prussians :)

Its good to see Richard back in the chair and details of my next 16 figures have been sent this morning.

Coming soon Savoia Artillery crew

In the post to Griffin today I have sent the greens from John for the Savoia artillery crew.
six figures in total and I van see uses for these as more than just artillery.
With luck I may have a very limited supply at Salute!!

I have also sent my first three Jacobite casualties, these are pieces I've done so I really don't know how they will turn out :) but watch this space.
