A wonderful collection - a real inspiration.

I also followed the link on this thread to Steve Barber's website. Some fantastic scenic items here. It certainly feels as though the hobby has come a long way in the last few years in terms of availability of figures / terrain pieces and quality. A good time to be wargaming methinks.

Well done,


Phil

Gunter, just be careful of your back when you try to lift that lot plus the suspension on your car will be groaning with the strain. :lol:

That's an impressive looking force Gunter and I wouldn't like to be on the receiving end of it.

Thank You Barry and Dave!

I hope they don't only look impressive :D

I think I have the same feelings as the Saxons had in those days when hearing stories about the Swedes and were going to face them for the first time :roll:

Günter

Most of the pictures are older than 2 to 4 weeks but I thought now would be a good time to show them here.

Günter,

It's an amazing collection and put together so quickly. Looking forward to seeing them up close next week, will there be room for anything else on the table?

Cheers,

What I'm worried about is those Saxons going a bit 'Biblical' on my Huguenots! :cry:
