Hi Ray

Hi Fred!

I've been a lurker for a long time. There is some absolutely stunning work posted here. So I really do appreciate the warm welcome.

@ Leon - You have a great company, superb miniatures and fantastic service.  =D>

I think I will enjoy visiting this forum every day.

Very nice. I especially like the Chasseurs.

Oh, and try to ignore what Ian does to English, especially when he's expressing loathing for everyone who speaks any other lingo.  ;D

Thanks all... very much!

The scenic stuff you see posted was made by Irregular Miniatures about 20 years ago and are mostly OOP. I did them for a 6mm project and am now rebasing them and refurbishing them a bit for this project. I am trying to do at least one base of scenic stuff for each batch of minis. They are not the greatest...

I am working on some Cuirassiers atm. Hopefully they will be done soon. Though "soon" for me may be a week!  @-)

I have some figures I was going to paint "soon" that are still unpainted .... bought in 1978!!!

I like CCP (makers of the EVE Online MMO computer game) definition of SOONTM - "a period up to, but not including, the next Ice Age" :)

Marvellous detail! "Slow" has a certain quality! (bet you're ten times faster than me!  :) )

Btw, you said you've never done the FPW before - neither have I but I found this site some years ago that might help you with equipment and uniform colours and shades for the various participating nations:-

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Very many thanks for that. I had access to it back in the UK but my old computer didn't make it across the North Sea. It is indeed an invaluable resource, and where I first came across French Republican infantry in white uniforms and dragoons having to resort to their old green uniforms.
