Common Era Errors

The Asterix books were a set text for my Archaeology course at uni. Prof Piggot reckoned they were the best depiction of druids anywhere, at the time.

I liked it when Asterix and Obelix visited Britannia and were asked by their Celtic host if they wanted milk in their hot water.

We have Druids doing an event in the local park today.
They've come quite a way since Getafix and his brothers.

I would love to do a Caesarian army of Asterix figures.

One of our 'local' DBMM players has one, it is a joy to behold

Thanks, Lemmey. I had seen that mdf product when I was researching the market last year plus I already have mdf fences but from another mdf supplier. Harking back to the photographs in the Wikipedia link I provided, a lot of the mdf products out there (our own Pendraken do a two rail version) are quite passable for the fences illustrated in photos 1, 2 and 4, given the difficulty of reproducing something in 3D using a 2D medium.

Reproducing the type in photo 3 is a lot harder in mdf (although, again, Pendraken have come up with a reasonably good effort with their snake fence in mdf, the main downside being the length of the rails). The best reproduction in miniature of a 'split rail fence with supports' I have seen is the snake fence product by Total Battle Miniatures. TBM have researched this well and come up with a really good version in lead (see link below).  But, whatever you end up buying, it surely has to be better than round cocktail sticks which, for the reasons already stated, may fool the uneducated eye and are just wrong.

Just getting back to this one. Let me be clear, I would never recommend anyone repaint their Bavarians, because that is an un-needed effort. Being truthful, I always knew they didn't wear a baby blue, but was never really sure until I got some of the original Knotel plates on the Bavarians and then found that actual uniform on line. May be why I never got any Bavarians until recently.

Thank heavens Prussians have my heart.

Thought Lee did?

She's a darling and makes me happy in many ways, but may I never have to lead an army of Thais!

The Loire and the Sarthe were very blue yesterday

The Kabul river is very brown, full of human waste, trash and plastic......
