Brian I like the British Troops, I have been saving up to buy the Military Mode Publishing book World War I British Battle Insignia  :o I have the two volumes Campaign 1914,1915 I thought they where going to have 16 17 18 but they never came out.

Dear Willie;

 >:( Hannibal I like the figure :o did you think about converting it to say a American Civil War Navy Office  :o Do they still make it ???

1) Thank you!

2) No way, I will paint it as Corto Maltese: I searched about 100 pictures of this cartoon heroe as documentation one year ago and still this week and selected three as model for my painting, now set, ever pre-painted on my PC last year, so it--he will end-up as Corto !!  I am now working on oïl painting mixes to meet my desires ....

3) Ye it is still possible to find t, if you want , I can take ontact with AFCFEF and find out how o get one piece for you; even from where I am now in Turkey (for a French (speaking) person, "Impossible" is not a word to be considered ....!!! just tell me ad send me your home address by MP.

Michel

Also last week, I finished reworking a flat painted earlier, but my painting standards changed a bit, so I reworked it and finished the base still unpainted.

It is named "Swiss pikemen attacking a French lancer at Pavie in 1525".

Yes Brian, you have an excellent memory:  Corto Maltese was drawn, edited and painted by Francis Quiquerez , painted by Philippe Fourquet (his signature at the bottom "FF") and exposed at Strasbourg show in September 2016 which I attended too, and where I bought the flaT

I posted two pictures in the Strasbourg 2016 show after my visit:

"If I every get to master how to send pictures to this web page then you can see my work"

Well Willie, what is the problem?  if the image is on the computer you can post it to the forum  :o

You see the "Attachments and other options" below the box your writing in,  go on it, open it go to "+Add Attachments" again open and your computer photos can be seen,  select a photo with double left click and there you go it starts to down load, photo in box and you get to add another 11 photos!   then post your thread and the photos will be included  ;)

Willie is correct, it does not work, I see the added pictures below in a grey zone, but when I wish to preview, nothing appears !


Actually I use a more sophisticated process, long for each picture, and not this one described, because it did not work at the time I tried, when it works straight for other forum...

How are other members doing then?

Hello,
I´m just back from holidays and hoping to finish a spanish tercio within the next few weeks. At all there will be around 300 figures.

(https://abload.de/img/18052702m8sch.jpg) (http://abload.de/image.php?img=18052702m8sch.jpg)

When I´m finished with that I think I´m going on with some figures for the Italian wars around 1500. There are a lot of Landsknechts for this period but not many figures for French foot. Last week I have painted a French gun Crew, using figures for the "Battle of Bosworth" Serie by Western Miniaturs, which now available from Schmalkaldener Zinnfiguren, not sure who is the manufacture of the gun.

I did some sets and groups for the 30-years war. We have a new special exhibition in the Tin-figure Museum in Goslar "Vom Prager Fenstersturz zum Westfälischen Frieden" - the time of the 30-years war. Opening was last sunday and we are looking forward that "crowds of visitors" would like to see the exhibition.

Here is a small group from the Heinrichsen set "Wallensteins Lager (campground)" in 40mm and a scene showing Wallenstein as a stargazer. Hope you'll like it.

Reaper Dark Elf flat, 54mm, metal, Reaper acrylics. It's the fourth one I've done for my flat painting classes. I'm running out of mainstream ideas - time to go weird...
