Sorry Steve,a bit late to this.
What a great idea,and of course work on the miniatures

[Silent Invader]

Cheers Guy. I’ve been otherwise distracted to make too much progress but have, I think, managed to finalise 6 converted miniatures for the Rifle Volunteers. The really good news is that I’ve managed to obtain permission from the original IP owner to cast my conversions for personal use. 😎

This is looking like another exciting project.  I love the attention to detail you bring to these, even down to naming the units before you have bought, converted and painted them.

  Thanks Gary. Can’t deny that I like a plan and the Mersey rules are great for organising around.

Thanks Steve

Everything looks fantastic! I'm looking forward to seeing more!

Great stuff so far and nice to have an insight into how you're planning your project.

Thanks for sharing this.

Steve,great idea. Next BLAM I will sacrifice myself an play the german side. Bring a list of original german bad words for the other "german"players. Reminds me a bit to a victorian version of Dad's Army...
But, one thing please, only real germans, no bavarians. Keep it original and prussian.

Thanks all

Victorian Dads Army pretty much sums it up.

You’re going to wince Dirk but at the moment the German Force is all Bavarian 
I love Bavaria but then I’m from Essex 

I expect I’m going to expand my Germans to also include Prussians at some point BUT for big games like Dorking, Herr Malamute is accumulating an army of solid, efficient, Prussian goodness.

Wonderful stuff...cannot wait to see them bashing Bavarians in your back yard so to speak.

[OSHIROmodels]

They work well 

Couple of different jacket colours would do for different regiments as well?

Actually if you ignore the ursupers now on the English throne, the recent Bavarian Duke Franz is the true heir of the Stuarts, due to a marriage in the 19th century. Therefore if Bavarians invade England its only for the rightful king!

That, Wellington, is an excellent point! 

All sorts of back story shenanigans there

  I fear it will be the British who are being bashed.

Anyone familiar with the story of the Battle of Dorking will know that it does not end well for our enthusiastic amateurs.
