Re: Donnybrook Diaries - parts 1,2 and 3!

Hi Clarence. Cheers for the kind words! Just wondered if you fancied the templates for the cards that were on the blog, for the League of Augsburg blog. I know part of the fun is making your own, but a few people have asked about them, and I'd be happy to share them. The Windows word file might need...

Re: A little help with French Uniform Color

Hey Artimas Welcome along to the ride!!!

Re: Royal Fusiliers in the 1690's

Hi Mark The best way to get hold of a copy for yourself is to contact the Wargames Illustrated office in Nottingham, (even easier if you're in the UK?), and ask them if they have a copy of the Mark Allen articles collection CD. Some months back, a nice chap ( I sadly forget who!! :oops: )posted a qu...

Re: Dutch at the Boyne

Hi Chaps Following this thread with interest, but from a practical point of view, re: the collar of bandoleers/'apostles' side of things, rather than the Dutch aspect of it!! :D As a re-enactor of 20 plus years, who's used the collar and 'apostles', ( really frustrates me that term - see the ECSWA a...

Re: New project Landen 1693

Slow progress, for various reasons, but pics of the Drapeaux d'Ordonnance and the ensign from d'Humieres' Regiment, are up on the blog - only a couple of photos but enough to give a flavour! Any comments/observations gratefully accepted as usual! :wink: http://haveacare.blogspot.co.uk/ Best wishes, ...

Cardinal Biggles!! Welcome - I can't add anything specific about the regiments you're seeking info on, but I can't stress enough how welcoming all the chaps are on here.

Re: Sad day, Farewell Donald Featherstone

As a fresh faced youngster in the second year of 'big school' in the late 80's, my world consisted of painting seemingly endless supplies of Airfix 1:72nd figures, and my first forays into building and painting 1:35th Tamiya AFVs and figures. After I'd finished them, there wasn't much else to do, ot...

Hi Ray - apologies for the long time for replying! Cheers for the kind comments - I am rather chuffed with that drummer! Having perused the information supplied by Arthur in the Regiment d'Humieres thread, I was surprised by how ' similar' I'd got him, just from the Mark Allen plates!! He is - you m...
