I filed the cuff flaps to make the Saxon cuffs



Well Worth a look (pun intended!)

Gosh! What a fantastic museum. Must go in the near future.

.. and so the pressure builds! This period is getting more and more alluring! A lot of great exhibits there. Is this the one in Gravelotte? Seeing it makes me slightly regret focusing on the SYW and Napoleonic sections in the Heer museum in Vienna (but perhaps an excuse to go back?) - but to be fair, I wasn't fully physically fit having to hobble round with a walking stick at the time ...... which brings me on to you Leman; hope you are feeling better soon. Regards.

Yes, it is the new one in Gravelotte, and well worth a visit!

Because of the writings and postings here I have started painting my FPW stuff. (The only problem is it's in 6mm Irregular blocks.)

Wow, what a great looking museum. One day a trip to the battlefields of France and Belgium is in order.

Great museum indeed, I think it was organized a 1870-1914 Congress there last year http://www.verdun-meuse.fr/images/pages/Programmecolloque1870.pdf

Ah Sub, what a coincidence. I am feeling a lot better thanks, so the antibiotics appear to be working. And I am just finishing another set of Irregular Prussian infantry blocks. The 10s are definitely going to end up doing duty with Field of Battle 2, for which I bought some specific cards a couple of years back. Want to use my figures in conjunction with some of the latest Esconografia buildings. Also have a starfort to paint up and man with big guns. Lets see if the Prusskies can take that. So then 6s will be 3-7 bases to a brigade/division and the 10s will be 4 bases to a battalion. Hoping to post a few more photos in the next couple of weeks.

I've heard great things on Field of Battle

I'll get a few buildings and have me a small scrap, maybe taking an important crossroads; something along those lines to break in my fellow gamers.

Satrfort hmmm, sounds good. Checked out the Battlepack and managed to get 12 x 3 block battalions out of it -6 line, 3 Guard and 3 zouave. For some reason there another 6 standard bases in the pack so I have ordered the line inf to finish them. So far 4 blocks painted and another 5 half done. Ma Subs is visiting the our son and missus =granddaughter for the rest of the week so I'm hoping to get them all done.

Indeed a good time to get stuck in. Will be getting on with my Prussians for an hour or so this evening.

Btw, anyone know of any company that would have a 10mm windmill model? That would look fantastic in any battlefield...

There's a windmill in the Eastern Front pack of painted buildings from Escenografia: http://www.pendraken.co.uk/EPS-EF01-p6952/

Faller  produce one in N gauge for model railways, and Leven miniatures produce a nice 6mm one which might be compatible?

Hovels

Hovels

ML,  I think the Hovels one is 15mm, but at least it is illustrated on their site in the European section, and might suit Javier's objectives.  Personally, I prefer going down a scale for buildings, so would go for 6mm scale, but it is a matter of personal taste.

If it were me I'd make one.

If it's six millimetres than Timecast do a lovely one!
