  1. They look great - can't help thinking though that the bloke at the front should have his fingers in his ears!

  5. Hi Captain,
    These are superb, my brother and I are both big fans. Could you tell us how you did the effect in the guns? Is it lights inside, photshop or some other wizardry? Brilliant looking gaming area and collection you have.
    Cheers
    Paul

  6. Hi Paul, thanks for he comments...the guns are wired thru the back of them with orange L.E.D.S, no tricks , no photoshop, just lights and cotton.

  7. Hi Captain,
    Thanks for letting us know. Really impressive collection. My brother started off collection militaria after being given some old family medals but with kids running around they all got put out the way.
    Keep up the great work.
    Regards
    Paul

  9. Terrific stuff, Captain. Can I ask about your figures. I recognize a couple of Sash and Saber, but not the rest. Any chance you could give us a rundown on the manufacturers you use. I mainly have S&S myself, but I'm always looking for compatable ranges.

  10. Greywolf, thank you, joe, thank you...Joe the figures on the mortars are
    S&S and Dixon. The confederate troops that are marching are from Chinstrap Miniatures in Cincinnati, Ohio and Architects of War. There are alot of Redoubt Miniatures in the Confederate camp.
