Your projects and the speed in which you progress them....

Always impressive 

[BlindFool]

...coincidentally - Mr Urban also happens to be the author of the following excellent read:

Rifles: Six Years with Wellington's Legendary sharpshooters

day I say it...this book may have provided some additional inspiration to this project!!

[Captain Blood]

He also wrote a book called 'Big Boys Rules' about the dirty war between the Provisional IRA and British special forces in Northern Ireland. This was 20 years ago. Very good account of what went on. Must have been quite young when he wrote it, but you wouldn't know it. I always think he comes across as a bit of an arse on telly, but he's a good writer.

Not sure I'll have anything ready for next week but here's a British Naval landing party anyway.











Figures by Britannia, guns from Foundry, boats from Minimi.

I love this project matakishi! I can't wait to see some in-game photos with them.

It'll be a while, I need to make some peninsula buildings and get a few more french painted before I can have a decent game.
