Inherited my love of toy soldiers from my mother's father. Married with a pack of litle Italian Greyhounds and a cat. Prematurely retired and enjoying leisure to game, maintaining our 170 yr old farmhouse and just living.

Hm. Oddly reminiscent of the artwork adorning a boardgame's box cover. I assume you have an agent.
ReplyDeleteA secret one. Which Boardgame? (idle curiosity since I don't own any board games)

DeleteI don't see a rail fence! Nor a unit steadily holding fire till they get the word.
Deletemm, there's a measure of "creative latitude" involved....
DeleteI can wait.
ReplyDeleteGood to know.
DeleteAre you messing with us Ross? These 1/72 Airfix Union are going to take on the 54 mm Confederates in the previous post?!!!

No they go with the Mar 17 post about painting more of the Hat figures and some fencing. Its spring fever, too much going on at once . :)
DeleteExcellent! May spring continue to deliver...
DeleteClassic figures still looking almost 50 years after they were designed ...
ReplyDeleteAlmost 50? I got my first box nearly 60 years ago! :)
DeleteI like this photo. Very evocative of the period. And I used to have scads of MPC knock offs of Airfix ACW figures. Always wonder where they got off to...

Well, mine came from Maritime Hobbies. Wished I bought more artillery but money was short in those days and the shortage was finally made up a few years ago.
