 To all my friends I want to say Hi now settled in and have a lot of books to talk about. So let’s start  Ospreys Men at Arms series. First German Troops in the American Revolutionary War # 2 they printed it . Next Greek resistance in World War II, ground tubes the Korean War  vol 1 is the North Koreans, The Red Chinese armies. Next is US Army and Marines. they offer few of a war that isn’t covered much uniform wise . To finish  is Wars in Central Europe from 1918 to 1921 The  Austrian Hungarian army  If you are Wargamer you have lots armies to chose from and well bring you up October . Not much  Helton & Company still weighing for volume 8 Louis XIV Wars . They also have other you would like. So  that’s it for now Willie

General Discussion / Flats of the early 19th century UK Turkish musicians /Indians
« Last post by alexsamuel on June 12, 2025, 08:11:38 AM »
I am a museum curator with a special interest in toys.  Researching the purchase of two sets of toys in the UK by a particular family in the period 1825-1827 . They were referred to as the Turkish Musicians and the the Indians -I think these are likely to be flats . Has anyone any information on flats of this period which might fit these descriptions ?
Many thanks

Terrific issue. I especially enjoyed Jon Redley's article on the "unpublished Wellington's."


Maybe the Society will use one of Jon's drawings to create a new figure in 54mm. Or perhaps Jon will do a new drawing for a 54mm figure showing Wellington draping his Waterloo cloak over the shoulders of Lady Caroline Lamb?

I wrote to him and he answered earlier this week.

That's good Ed,  maybe get him to paint the Jabberwock to add to the set for display.


Thanks Ed

I have some pictures of the board taken in 2015 at Kulmbach, on Western Miniatures table, but the quality is not excellent, with interferences from the protective glass.
I believe someone should take pictures or each painting, or by groups of Three or four maximum.  I am ready to clean them up, if someone sends me the set of pictures , should be minimum 1500 pix x 1500 or more....


also I think that an article or some articles should be done on this panel, along with the eanlarged ad cleaned pictures to be published in the fall or winter on the BFFS Magazine (perhaps in 2 or 3 parts, more if one does not limit only to alice, but also the other flats of the original panel).


So candidate to handle the pictures, have somene for the articles, and of course continue the retoration of the panel for posting in Germany for next year ?


Here is one I did clean from my 2015 pictures, but many are damaged by the glass upfront or not sharp enough for optimal quality  (pictures to be taken without protection, and a brush and air clean up ...).





Thanks for candidates on this ....
