I have just found out a producer on "The Walking Dead" is called Caleb Womble.

I just found out that for the film "Idiocracy" in 2006, a film in which America had descended to a state of ... idiocracy, the costume designer had a limited budget, so bought what they considered to be stupid looking shoes from a new brand.

Quote from: pierre the shy on 08 July 2024, 05:52:26 AMDon't suppose there's any chance of resurrecting the 10mm ECW era Star Fort that Pendraken used to produce a few years ago?

Definitely, I've wanted to get that back into production for years.  I think the current plan is to convert it into a modular setup instead, so that you can create different types.

He's not wrong!  Well, technically a clothed man took the blowtorch, then two nudists beat seven shades out of the chap.

Today, Gentlemen, is a somewhat momentous day for me. I started my 10mm journey in 2013 with WWII, ancients and the ACW - fairly simple paint schemes. It was only in 2020 that I tried my hand at Napoleonics with a battalion of light infantry. Since then I've painted a lot of figures from the period (about 10,500) but ... and this is a big but - a Kardashian if you will - I've never painted the French.
 
That changes today, and I have a battalion of French line on my painting desk and I am a little bit nervous.

Wish me luck!

Of all the countries not to paint for Napoleonics, how have you gone "do I need any French? "

After the 1813 Leipzig French, I'm planning to move into the Peninsula. The "French Peninsula" army is from Nafzinger's Jan 1810 IV Corps including Hesse-Darmstadt, Nassau and Frankfurt infantry, and Vistula Legion Lancers.    :)
