Unfashionably Shiny: Fantastic Soldered Soldiers
http://unfashionablyshiny.blogspot.com/2014/05/fantastic-soldered-soldiers.html
Thumbing its' nose at black undercoat and matte varnish. Sunday, 4 May 2014. The above are a sample of the British Legion dragoons Doug Mason created for me last year. Despite there being only 2 castings in the Hinchliffe range (an officer and trooper) Doug has created a unit of 24 figures where each is different. Of all the conversions i think the trooper with pistol and dangling sword is my favourite, and something of a Mason trademark. Beautiful work Doug. Mr Mason is a very talented chap!

Unfashionably Shiny: July 2013
http://unfashionablyshiny.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Thumbing its' nose at black undercoat and matte varnish. Saturday, 27 July 2013. Right lads, they want a kitchen extension, conservatory, and oak floors throughout. In more ways than one - the Black Company of Pioneers was one of the first all black units of ex-slaves raised during the AWI. Most loyalist units were mixed, and these chaps too were eventually integrated into the Guides and Pioneers. These loyal servants of the King are conversions of Connoisseur Egyptian artillerymen, tools by Minden.

From Mil Mod February 1973 the legendary Phil Stearns (the OSS, Penthouse and Mil Mod - beat that for a CV) pays a visit to Hinchliffe Models. For a little more on Stearns see Shep Paine's tribute.

Thumbing its' nose at black undercoat and matte varnish. Saturday, 4 July 2015. Hearing that Benedict Arnold has opened a bar tab, the 2nd NH make a break for their local Wetherspoons. The 17th Foot (originally in Frank Hinchliffe's collection) advance to enforce the licensing laws. Very nice Doug - beautiful figures. 5 July 2015 at 04:20. I agree with Carlo. especially the 17th. Lovely! 5 July 2015 at 07:58. The licensing laws must be upheld - all power to the shiny redcoats! 5 July 2015 at 12:51. 12 Ju...

http://unfashionablyshiny.blogspot.com/2014/10/whats-that-coming-over-hill.html
Thumbing its' nose at black undercoat and matte varnish. Thursday, 23 October 2014. What's that coming over the hill. Dan Morgan and friends contemplate a career change as they spy a horde of shiny redcoat veterans on the march. Is it a monster Gilder AWI update? Cant wait to see more like these then. 23 October 2014 at 22:18. What a great vignette Doug! Looking forward to seeing the rest. 24 October 2014 at 22:21. Lovely job but isnt that map upside down? 25 October 2014 at 00:08. The Lone S Ranger.

Unfashionably Shiny: August 2013
http://unfashionablyshiny.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Thumbing its' nose at black undercoat and matte varnish. Friday, 16 August 2013. Eligible bachelor seeks cavalry brigade. Casimir Pulaski in search of a command. My rebel cavalry force is in urgent need of reinforcement, the reasons for which will become evident shortly. Forced to flee his homeland, shunned by many rebel officers, and mortally wounded during a futile charge - this man clearly broke a few mirrors in his time. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The BigRedBatCave: Fun at the Wargames Holiday Centre
http://bigredbat.blogspot.com/2015/05/fun-at-wargames-holiday-centre.html
Tuesday, 19 May 2015. Fun at the Wargames Holiday Centre. I have just enjoyed a splendid long weekend of gaming with Mark Freeth and friends at the Wargames Holiday Centre. I won't write it up at great length (because I may write it up as a magazine piece) but here are a few shots to be going on with (all clickable). Throughout. Everyone seemed to pick the rules up very well, enjoying the card play. In this game a Macedonian phalanx hacked its way up the steep hill between two small woods and past a surp...
