Hiya mate! Good luck with your game too.

I actually have some Mongrel figures on the table, hidden amongst afghans and darkest africa baluchis as "generic tribesmen". Frank is getting back into BoB at the mo'. His last project produced some fantastic stuff.

If I remember my camera I will take plenty of pics (must remember spare batteries) and I'm sure others will take photos too.

I'm just glad to be demoing someting other than Arthurians (after 4 consecutive years). Don't know about next year, might do a return to AWI, James might have ideas of his own (he's keen on an Owain Glyndwr project) and there is always the Timurid project...or the ECW....or the 6mm naps...or the 2mm ACW...or the 15mm WW2...or the Caesarian Romans...or the Greeks...or even more BoB as I'm getting very interested in the Mesopotamian campaign after reading "Battles on the Tigris", just need to build a BIG river and some swamps:-)

...the agony of choice :-)

cheers

Nicely done, Steve! Love the little armored train. Scale's a bit wonky, but it's the thought that counts.

Indeed :-)

The train was a "hornby, my first train set" for ten pounds at a car boot sale. I've added some plasticard etc but it works out a lot cheaper than any resin train!

Alsom commercial armoured trains are pretty substantial affairs, whereas the transcaspian trains were lash-ups, some without any real "armour" but having cotton bales roped on as a defence.

Anyway, its all in the name of a fun game.

Thanks Steve for the report and photos. I've also place it on the Sideshow Yahoo group and also mentioned to the folk asking about the make of the POWs.  :)

God Bless

The FT17s are the rather nice all-resin models from Force of Arms.
