The General and the Faqir

[jamesmanto]

Had the Sterling Moose and the other fellows over last weekend for a game. Became a bit of a theme night, with a terrific curry dinner followed by some NW Frontier action. General Wooster had a bit of a dust up with the Faqir of Fartibad.

Very inspiring! I am currently working on large batches of models for my own NW Frontier project and it is things like this that keep me going. More please!

Oh, well look back on my blog under the Colonial tag, there are other battle reports (starting in May 2010) and a 5 part article on building the collection (part 1 is June 2010). Although my photos from back then are less then wonderful.

They took me about 5 years to think about and then only a couple of weeks to actually make (including drying times for various coats of stuff)

Thank you. I have had a peek. Very useful!

Interesting looking game and an impressive hill (mountain) in the background

It's just scraps of foam built up around a box.

If I do a Mk 2 it will have more/better steps for Pathan jezzailichis to crouch upon. And perhaps use wood bark chips.

And somehow look less terraced.
