I c,ant say Anna, these are Chris,s figures , I,ll ask him. I,m posting some of these pics from an I- Pad which for some inexplicable reason seems to send them upside down, although it does take exceedingly good photos even in a bad light, hope I,m not sending the blood rushing to your head viewing them.  lol

Oh, I had thought it was "air observer" perspective. XD

They are excellent photos, it's really enjoyable to read this thread.

Great photos  ----- the gun crew are early war in shirt sleeves by foundry ( not ANZACS )

Caissons by great war miniatures

Most of figures are 25 year old foundry castings !!!! ------ great uniform detail (  the perrys  designed )

a few figures from musketeer ---- the signal group  ,  old glory doctors ,  the German heavy mortar is old glory  ------ french fire crew are 1870 dismounted french cavalry by foundry !!

Bridges --- one plastic railway one ( 20mm adapted ) ,canal bridge Sarrisa ----- slag heaps just pollystyrene  and corrugated metal is coffee cup holders cut down !!

I will confess to being the builder and painter  ----- glad you enjoyed

Comprehensive answer Chris, it was a great game, one to remember . Your collection deserves to be viewed on this forum where it can be appreciated.

With regards to the artillery crew, the Royal Artillery Regiment shirts were not a khaki colour but were somewhat similar to the ANZAC light horse shirts in Palestine.

Chris - Welcome! :D You have a brilliantly painted collection, Sir. :)

Robert - thanx, that what I was thinking, I just watched Gallipoli Sunday night, and the crews looked like the Light Horse in the trenches there. :)

Oh, I'd love to get playing again. :)
