I remember the time I gave a corporal in the Guards a bowl of rhubarb crumble.

I was charged...........

with helping a soldier to dessert.

Corporal in the Guards  :o

Shume mistake shirley. Would have been either a Lance Sergeant (Wooden Tops) or Corporal of Horse (Tinned Fruit)

Out of the desert comes a man who would change the face of the Middle East.
He doesn't need an army, he is,
"Lawrence of Arabia."
Great painting, cool figure.

That is a great pair of figures, and the bases finish them off beautifully, with the rocks and close-cropped scruffy desert grass. Very, very nice!

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_Revolt

I have been considering wargaming T.E Lawrence's Arab Revolt and the advantage is that most Arab miniatures can double up to also be used against French Foreign legion.

As I want aircraft, trains armoured cars and artillery I will be using 20mm / 1/72. I would like to therefore see more pics! I am curious as to what wargames you have done to accompany your Lawrence miniature and if so what rules you have used.

I don't wargame at the moment - haven't for some time but I like to paint up the figures now and again. I painted Lawrence because I have always been interested in the Arab revolt and recently read the Seven Pillars of Wisdom. I think it would make a great game - something like a raid on a railway station or maybe Aqaba would be a great set piece.

If you do go ahead and wargame it I'd love to see some photos.
