My book is going to be launched soon and Captain Blood's models have been chosen for the cover.

Here is the final version of the cover showing the title and ISBN number. The publisher is Crowood Press and this is the first book in their new series for wargamers. The layout of the pages is in progress. The book will be launched to wholesalers soon and will be in bookshops in October.

Cool.

Thank -you for your support, Richard. In many ways this has also been a community project.

Congrats to both of you, the miniatures in this thread deserve to be in a book.
a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice.

Okay, well, at risk of boring you with all the stuff you've seen before, I thought that - since I've now finished 6ft x 4ft worth of table top - I would place the entire collection so far, figures, AFVs and support, onto it.
As you can see, it's rather crowded, so I definitely need to expand the table size with more tiles!
And that's before I start in on the Vichy French (first tanks underway in fact) and then - OMG - the Americans, once the Perry plastic set arrives...
Plus I still have a few more British vehicles to go...  ::)

I'd love to tell you these are in-game shots, but they're not. The trouble with in-game shots is that things never fall as neatly as you'd like for the benefit of the camera, plus you tend to get lots of paraphernalia, refreshments and gamers' beer guts in the picture... So this is just slinging the toys onto the table and moving them around for visual effect :)

Basically, German column from one end, British from the other. Dust up around the oasis and settlement results...

Bloody marvelous. I am, as they say, well jel.

This project is one of the best things you've done. Though inclined to, I hesitate to say "the best" because you've done so much, and I've probably forgotten half of it.

Looks brilliant, though I'm a bit worried about that gun crew who look to be trying to shoot the Tiger in the back.
