Thanks all!  :)

Sometimes I wish my photography was better, but to be honest, I just do the best I can. Point and shoot on auto.  :D

I've said it umpteen times before, Ray......But you should see the cruddy photos I send Leon, for checking 'masters'.
Absolutely nothing wrong with the ones you've posted. :)

Cheers - Phil.

Well, I find it credible, which I say with admiration.

Hi all!

Sorry I haven't posted for awhile. I had double cataract surgery a couple months ago. It is taking awhile for my eyes to heal and my close up vision has really taken a hit. I do use an opti-visor for painting, but I don't know if I can still paint like before. I'll give it some more time before trying again.

Thanks to all for the lovely comments!

The problem is my sight at medium and long distances is still not up to standard and I even wonder if I will be able to pass my drivers license test next year. When I do very close up work, such as paperwork, in short order my eyes start tearing up and I get head aches.

So I need to wait a bit, I think.

Hi Ray, I've just posted some information about Bruce Weigle's website which has been down for a while. I am also about to embark on an FPW game using Neil Thomas' C19th Europe rules, with some additions by a friend of mine. Will post photos of the game shortly.

Very best of luck, Ray.....I hope the eyes will settle down after a while.

(I'm sure they will.)

All the best - Phil. :)

My doctor said my brain needs to re-wire itself and it could take some time but he is confident things will sort themselves out.

Sure hope so!  :-SS

Incidentally, as my figures are based on 25mm square bases, I represent infantry column movement (the only formation for movement in the Thomas rules) as 2x2 bases. This is more aesthetically pleasing than one behind the other when  using square bases. Cavalry do everything in 2x2 formation, but infantry must change formation to line to fire and cannot move in that formation (except British in Crimea and Spain).

Best wishes for your eyes healing well.

I've just seen this thread and the French command and Zouaves are lovely.
