Only just stumbled upon this thread; fantastic stuff, gives me the inspiration to finish off some of my colonials still lying about unpainted.

This is really good stuff. Getting me inspired to get back into this period. I'm going to have to dig into my old lead pile, I know I still have a few figures that still need paint. It's also time to start ordering some of the wonderful new stuff that is out there.

There is only one new picture today. I am currently working hard on the new gaming board and some new miniatures have also arrived...so no time for taking photos…

These images are so inspirational! They have the quality of figures, photography and scenery I aspire to.

They are really quite beautiful (to a wargamer anyway)!

Anyone lucky enough to see this stuff in the flesh, better still to play in a game of T&T with it, are blessed indeed.

Awesome work Frank and Björn, it's going to be one helluva game!

I have started to build the new gaming board. I was deeply impressed by the African board of Captain Blood (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=20284.0 ), so I decided to make something similar.

Here are the first steps:

That's one huge honkin' board! Looks like the making of something extraordinary to.

Frank, that new board looks pretty good. You framed the styrofoam with strips of wood, is there a wooden sheets underneath the foam as well? If so, what non-warping material did you use?

Frank · « **Reply #52 on:** 22 December 2010, 11:33:51 AM »

Hi Benbow, No there are no wooden sheets underneath. We are only using a wooden frame to protect the sensitive edges of the board.

…and here are my latest miniatures…the Mahdi himself and some of his ansar:

Wow, those mini's are fantastic!

And the camel is nothing short of inspired!

That's a nice looking board shaping up there Frank

Every colonial wargamer needs a donga!

Very nice looking board

I am sure it is going to turn out great.
Figures are outstanding

This Monday I have only some pictures of some older miniatures…the Perry War Correspondents and some British Infantry.

Dazzling!

I really like your style, Frank, and those photos you put together are so very atmospheric they are a joy to look at.

I've said it once, I'll say it again... Fantastic!

Thanks a lot Ray!!!

Happy New Year! I have been working on some new miniatures (Bazinger) and my new game board. As soon as I am finished with adding small stones and sand to the rest of the boards I will start painting everything. And here are the usual “Monday”-pictures:
