Re: Die Kriegskunst: Wargaming the Seven Years War

Obviously, just because *I* don't like written orders, it doesn't mean they aren't a good idea. Just my personal preference.

Nice work, Andy. Can you get a model lifting one hind leg, to pose behind Fred and other assorted personality figures, as the mood strikes you?

Re: What's on your workbench?

Re: What's on your workbench?

The always "helpful" photo of the completed model..... :fp: It looks like the support-struts-and-springs bits have been twisted and bent, mate. So you'll need to do some very careful bending and twisting to make them match each other and to fit the coach body and axles. From the other phot...
