Marvellous Michael.
Like the way the officer has got them wandering round in a pointless circle while he waits for orders!

[Steve J]

Awesome!

[Leman]

As soon as I saw the photos I thought that they're not Pendraken. They look to have over indulged in the old wurst.

[Techno]

Great paint job !
Cheers - Phil.

Thank you, gentlemen!

The re-enactors facing colours appear a little dark in 1:1 scale 

Or perhaps a little lighter?



It's another of those 'French Olive Greens'. Written down, it's one thing. In reality, it may have been something else. I went for a darker rather than a lighter 'Sky Blue' because it matched the colour swatch I had for Austrian Sky Blue. The enactors appear to have gone for a range of colours - by accident or design. Perhaps battalion tailors had just the same problems getting uniforms to comform with expectations.

I'm afraid that's the fault of the Napoleon of this project.

Even these days different batches of dyed cloth of the same colour come up in different shades. That's why suppliers always recommend that if you want a matching set of anything (seat-covers, bedroom linen etc) you should always buy them from the same batch. How much worse must it have been 200 years ago?

And wash them in the same wash.

Awesome figs!

I'm jealous

[Leman]

Awesome figs can backfire spectacularly.

[Hertsblue]

Is this flatulence?

[WeeWars]

Yes, I think it's a flatulence joke. Took me forever to get it. I'm so conditioned to read miniatures and minis, figures and figs as one and the same.

Leman, you're confusing us with flatulence jokes! 'Figs' has now been officially appropriated by Wargames. Whatever happened to that charming Dour Puritan? 

[WeeWars]

Come to think of it, 'miniature' and 'mini' and 'figure' have also been officially appropriated by Wargames.

How else are we going to be able to compliment a wargamer on his figure?

Or give him advice on the size of his mini?

Or reassure him that it's not a terrible thing that his miniature hasn't seen action in a long time?

[Leman]

Sorry

[fred.]

Have you seen this month's Miniature Wargames?

In the Blogs of the Month section is a very prominent mention for Michael's blog! Excellent, hopefully you will get lots of new visitors.

Apart from on the Pendraken Form, I've only ever seen one reference to my Blog and that was a link on TMP.

So, no and thanks for the heads up, Fred!

Sounds like I should try and get my hands on a copy of the mag.

Cheers, Michael

And so it should be

[WeeWars]

Thanks, Steve!

[Techno]

The praise is fully deserved, Michael !
Cheers - Phil

[WeeWars]

Thanks, Phil! Must get myself a copy and find out what's been said.
