Once appeared in a Western skit playing Kit Carton (he's a bit of a case) in which the 'baddie' was Gib Skcollob, Which gave rise to Minnie Ho Ho's classic line, "Father won't let us marry because of Gib Skcollob."  We planned to do the Reverand Spooner's version of Robin Hood but realised it was a non-starter with Friar Tuck.

Great stuff!  . So each square base is an infantry regiment, a cavalry brigade, or two batteries of artillery. The mitrailleuse are on the the narrow bases?   Is this for VnB or Altar of Freedom, or both?

Awwww! I'm still looking at them. The mitrailleuse base is an idea I came up with to get them on the table, ie if an artillery base has a mitrailleuse base attached it gets an extra plus one, but only out to 6". An AoF amendment. For 1866 the range of the needlegun is only 2" (same for 1870), but Austrians don't get to fire at all owing to tactical doctrine, ie all Austrian nfire will be at very close range as part of the melee phase. Still working on these various amendments.

Love the FPW and your figures! I'm still working on several French and Prussian Corps for Gravelotte-St Privat in 6mm... not going very fast I must admit...

Tell me about it. I've been on the FPW for three or four years now, but life and other projects crop up.

Took me an F5 to refresh but then the piccies showed up.

Seriously impressive stuff! Love the big bases, lots of figures units.

Can see them all now, D.P.

Look DAMN fine too !!

In the above photo the first row in from the left and second base up is the one that got the satin varnish treatment. Don't honestly think you can tell from the photo, but in the real world they do look better than just flat matt.

Hope that's reinstated things.

Now you don't see them, now you do!

Can see them this time

Think I've worked out what the problem was: initiallyI posted them from my general library, after which I moved them to the Froeschwiller library and hence this perso has moved them. I've now reposted from the Froeschwiller library which is their permanent home so they shouldn't vanish again.

And now I do!

Peek-a-boo army!

Very nice old chap. 

 

This thread is beginning to remind me of being at school and shown Lawrence of Arabia as a Christmas treat, but the teacher got the reels in the wrong order  or
