Thanks to all for your kind words. It's lots of fun to share the things you enjoy with people who have the same interests. Long before there was an internet, the pictures of Peter Gilder's Sudan figures in Wargames Illustrated inspired me to try my hand at figure painting. It's been a great hobby. After 36 years in education, I retired two years ago and have lots of time to devote to painting. I haven't been bored for a minute! I hope to have another gallery posted by the end of the week. That will be my Napoleonics (France versus Austria, 1809). Thanks again. Richard
