NorthStar Shinning Bright.

[Prof. Dinglebat. Phd.]

Got word on the grape vine that the company 'Arcane Scenery and models' distributors of the 'Northstar' line were having a 'free postage till the end of April' sale, and postage being a major consideration down here in the colonies when buying from Europe and the states,....well,...it would be rude of me to refuse such a considerate offer. Along with not being a smoker and only a social drinker, well..who let the dogs out?

The figures are all their Cannibal range, along side the Ostriches and Baboons, Wild African cattle and the odd Hippo. Looks like one of the Ostriches is sculptured with it's head in the sand!!

Delivery time was 4-5 days so via air.....and free.

If your in the market for African animals Northstar is definitely worth a look into.

That's a very nice selection of figures, there Prof!   I'm envious.

Well spotted Mason!!

“Some are born mad, some achieve madness, and some have madness thrust upon them.”

Only ONE feller I know embraces all three routes to that specific goal...

Daft Devonians... spare me!!   Or is that redundant

Just to show you how far back me and Snappy go, here's a 'Old School' pic of us showing Hammers some of our latest minis. 

[Mad Lord Snapcase]

Ah, the good old days at Oxford. The Prof. was reading Archaeology and I was reading the Marquis de Sade! I'm glad I shaved that moustache off for graduation though!

Here's another one to remind you of the old days when we were young subalterns together in the old 88th, the 'Devil's Own'. The old colonel did have a bit of a penchant for his young officers dressing up on mess nights. You don't think there was anything dodgy going on do you, old boy?

That's the Prof. sitting down.................

[Prof. Dinglebat. Phd.]

Arrrr, The Devil's Own,(Yes we were)...Sqidgey's platoon (Shown below)...great days, what memories.

[Mason]

 

You boys....

[Peter@BattleScape]

Arrrr, The Devil's Own,(Yes we were)...Sqidgey's platoon (Shown below)...great days, what memories.

'Twas an awful shame what happend to those chaps.....that incident testing the Rejuvination Ray was so sad to see....

[Peter@BattleScape]

I also feel that I should mention that Milord Snappy always had trouble with the concept of camouflage. As his former instructor, try as I might he could never get it right.....

[Prof. Dinglebat. Phd.]

Always good with the needle and thread though. An always first to lend a hand to fix a hem on mess nights. Good Ol Snappy alias Mister Fixit.

[Peter@BattleScape]

Yes he was, though his idea for a new uniform didn't go down to well....

[Mad Lord Snapcase]

How nice of you guys to trawl through the old family photos, I'm overcome with a wave of nostalgia.  

And old Squidgy, whatever became of him? I remember rumours of him running away to join the circus just as we were due to return to Blighty from Jalalabad. I recall that the Prof. was quite tight with Squidgy at one time, here's that photo of you riding on his shoulders after the fifth bottle of port in the Officer's Mess at Doolally!

[Mad Lord Snapcase]

Yes he was, though his idea for a new uniform didn't go down to well....

I still believe that this is the ideal clothing for operating in hot climates. I suppose you chaps still prefer your stiff collars and jodhpurs?
