This was mentioned on a recent thread, and I think it would be very useful.
I have spoken to Leon before about models that should be in more then 1 list - the FT17 for example. Apparently this is quite fiddly to do on the website, so a proxy list would be excellent.
Not sure the best way to organize it. Perhaps in periods like the resources section of the forum.
In fact it could be a subsection of the resources forum
Rescources -
Proxy Figures/Models
Ancient/Dark Ages
Medieval / Rennaissance
Firelocks to Maxims
20th Century
Modern
Fantasy /Sci-Fic
An interesting point. I was thinking about an 1840s Dutch army using a mix of figures from the First Schleswig War and possibly some Napoleonic figures. Very little to go on at the moment as there is very little on Google probably as Dutch home forces were not involved in conflicts between 1839 and 1940. There is a tiny bit of information in Knotel and Knotel.
I've got a couple of proxy lists on my blog
Russo-Japanese War https://twomarshals.blogspot.com/p/russo-japanese-war.html (https://twomarshals.blogspot.com/p/russo-japanese-war.html)
Algeria 1837 https://twomarshals.blogspot.com/p/algeria-1837-figures.html (https://twomarshals.blogspot.com/p/algeria-1837-figures.html)
Very useful. My 1970 African Bush Wars are 99% proxy figures - the 1% being Irregular Minatures.
The recent Korean range was designed with max proxy in mind.
Yes, a Proxy Figures section would be a win-win. A useful resource for gamers, and extra sales for Pendraken. Gets my vote.
Unfortuneatly we have to get one of the moderators to set it up - had a look yesterday. Leomn and Will shoiuld be fine - PHIL and tech X_X

https://www.nmm.nl/zoeken-in-de-collectie/ let's you search the archives of the Dutch national military museum. Searching with 1840 shows a number of prints that may be useful.
Thanks, will give it a try.
I dont have that authority. .. sorry.
All done! I've not split it into genre/period sections just yet, we can do that if the board proves popular. So, head over and add your proxy lists: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/board,145.0.html
Thanks Leon

I wouldn't have tried...even if I could. (I'm fairly certain I can't do anything 'there' anyway.)
As Ian says......... X_X

This sounds like an excellent idea. At the moment the Schleswig Brunswick and Saxon infantry look promising.

Thanks Leon. We will bill you commission fees on sales. ;D
Seriously, I do hope it has a positive retail impact for Pendraken.
Great, I think I can add a fair amount of stuff for the Spanish Civil War as there is a lot of artillery used in it from WW1 and armour from WW2.

Thank you: already found some superb colonial wallguns.

The topic or board you are looking for appears to be either missing or off limits to you.

I think that's wise.
Some post-hoc reshuffling once we know the size and content ought to take care of any bloat.

Try going to Resources and clicking on Proxy Figures/Models. The link and the route I've described both seem to work OK at the moment.

No idea what's happening there, it's working fine for me on computer and mobile? http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/board,145.0.html
If it's saying 'off limits', does that mean only 'mods' can use that particular link ?
The original link works fine for me, but then I can go almost anywhere.
Cheers - Phil :-\
I can get in OK so not "mods only"
You're right, Mike.
I've just tried, as a guest....without logging in at all......and the link worked fine. :-bd
Cheers - Phil :)
It's not talking to - Missing or incorrect permissions or similar
Phil's obviouly blocked me for being rude to him ! :'(
Serves you right! :P :) :)
I've fiddled with the access settings, can we see if it works now?
Well.....This time, I've had a go on the
tablet, rather than the PC...(without signing in)....and it works from that, as well.
