I got it built. About 3 hours including breaks and watching the news. A little bit fiddly in places and a lack of instructions (though there are videos on Youtube) were minor problems. It was fairly easy to work out what went where. The photos show the size (figures are Perry 28's, Eureka 18's mounted and PSC 15's) and the amount of light the LED strips give off- I turned the flash off for the two top photos. I don't think a third LED strip is needed, but there's room for it. It was pissing down when the photos were taken and no useable light coming in the windows. You'll need a USB adaptor or power board with USB outputs to fire up the LEDs.

The good old days of painting- explaining to the wife how red paint got on her new couch or, even worse, how Humbrol dark green got on Mum's carpet.... Never been to Middlesbrough, but can see someone else's being used in a game of Necromunda.

Doug, without paint, etc, loaded up it's quite stable and requires a good knock to fall over. With paint and tools on top it would probably go over more easily. I'm not going to use the boxes as legs- it's high enough for me, even if building 1/32 kits, and the boxes would make it more prone to tip, I think.

not sure the Memsahib would be happy with that on my desk in the family room... the LED might spoil the picture from Bridgerton :)

Camouflaged as a rose arch perhaps..

Cover it with some flower wall paper and put some incense sticks on top, mate, and you may get away with it. Something like this, perhaps:

I've got some more 15mm SYW on the go this week; namely the British 1st (King's) Dragoon Guards, Prussian Jager zu Fuss and the Imperial 'Alt-Wurttemberg' Regiment:

Nice, Mark. Good to see the RA Württemburger regiment get done.

Cheers chaps! Yes, I'm slowly working my way through the Reichsarmee. I've just finished the II. Bn of the Pfalz Garde zu Fuss today and now have the Baden-Baden Regiment (2 bns) under the brush, with the Baden-Durlach Regt to follow. Then I think it'll be on to the Hanoverian cavalry.
