I made the corn myself. Here's my blog post about them.

Thanks, Bryan. No easy 'off the shelf' solution then .... but really useful to know and very effective nevertheless (hopefully one day I'll pluck up the courage to try it!).

A-maize-ing!

That looks really good . Just the inspiration I need to start on my ACW stuff

In addition to the accolades justly given for the scenery and figures, Bryan, may I also compliment you on the topography of the miniature battlefield? I was fortunate enough to pay a(n all too) brief visit to the battlefield in September and found it fascinating that the road on your layout leading from the bottom right is now a modern highway leading up to a crossroads and traffic lights at the Stone House. At the start of the said road (in the left hand corner), there is now an access road leading up to the Visitor Centre and ridge where Jackson 'won' his epithet ("There stands Jackson like a Stonewall!" - or words to that effect). The other two houses are clearly the Henry and Robinson Houses. Congratulations on capturing the essence of the centre of the 1st Bull Run/Manassas battlefield so well!

I think cleaning up the edges of the flags would be time well spent; little white lines do rather negate mimesis..

I'm a tad 'picky' that way myself and can't leave the white edges as they are - usually ending up painting over much of the flag
 - but worth it in the long run.

A-maize-ing!

Sweet corn!

Sorry, browsing later (TV was boring so logged back in) and noticed I was talking p*** about the 'start of the the said road.' Access road to the visitor centre is "in the right hand corner" not the left as incorrectly stated before. 

Who cares anyway? Well, for those who do ....

That looks great...

The school example of how any wargame should look really... amazing!
Especially like the big units; not the typical BP 16 man regiments and stuff; but all out war. Impressive!

Cheers,
Rob

Superb, simple as that!
