A crisp frost meant I could crack some varnishing outside and finish off two more stands.

I saw this on PMT and thought it would be of interest to all here:

Can we keep the pro-unionist politics separate from a mutual love for toy soldiers?

Got anyone in mind, Darrell

Oh, and many happy returns, by the way

Indeed, in many ways, Sweden is to the rest of the Nordic countries what England (and the Home Counties in particular) is the to the British Isles :wink: :lol: :lol: By the way, I've very much enjoyed that cartoon series. Here's a link to any who've not come across it before: http://i221.photobucket...

Thanks. I used Citadel regal blue with some ultramarines and then white mixed in for the highlights

Based on some information from Ray, the grenadier caps for North and Greys needed a little reworking.

Oh, you can always count on there being beer (as well)

Thanks! I tried to hide the musicians - I need to add the lace on them - I believe they had swallow's nest and wide bands? Are they supposed to be in red coats? Ray, I have more, but I need to replace the flags - this blog has taught me the error of my sources (which caused me to wing-it a bit) - s...

For danes it's a Boing 747, as in a Boing 474 of danes. Nah, it's a hygge of Danes :wink: For those outside the Nordic belt, Danes call all sorts of informal gatherings, from beach parties to after wargaming drinks, with the verb 'at hugge'.

Given the probable high number of responses, 'our' vote doesn't increase, but support for the Crimean French option is going down.

So keep voting

It must be guards week as I will also soon have an offering of the 1st Regiment of Foot Guards

Wonderful details - however, as a Royal regiment, I went for drummers in red coats?
