Hi Marie, nice to hear from you.

Start with flexible track, it's great. It's so much easier to fit in with your plans – and your suitcase! You don't have to bother with straights and curves. Can be cut with snippers. I got a quantity cheap on eBay. Mind you, I'm only interested in static trains for WW1.

Cheers, Michael

BTW, that was the 500th reply on this topic! Thanks to everyone who has contributed! It would still be great to hear from even more fellow 1809ers.

Railways in 1809 - have I missed something? 

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

They were around since the 14th century, just without steam engines!

A couple of islands that took a surprising amount of research:

Looks good, Michael, but where are the troops going to go? 

[WeeWars]

Just by removing a tree base and substituting a fieldworks base or placing the troops where the tree base was. The islands are totally wooded but if defining the area is an issue the tree base can be replaced by a flat hex base for the figures to stand on while maintaining the outline of the area terrain.

Now that's what I call terrain!

Very nice work, love the attentions to details. Good work fella! 

[Hertsblue]

Good work, as always, Michael. As Lemmey says, the attention to detail is remarkable.

[WeeWars]

Thanks, gentlemen!    Yeah, why should the 28mm guys have all the fun? 

[petercooman]

Good job!

Hi Michael - I have been enjoying your blog/well organised web page and will probably be heading down the same 1809 route (armies, not a fancy blog).

I would like to ask a painting question.

Many of the Austrians have a flower shaped gold pattern on the blue trousers (I am sure it has a name but I forget it).

How do you paint that ?

Thanks

John
