I am not sure what period you are interested in, but in Sicily and Italy the Rangers had a Canon Company with M3 halftracks with the 75mm gun. Company B makes a very nice version of this: http://035f399.netsolhost.com/companyB_models_US.html
I am guessing "some sort of green solution" refers to Simple Green, an environmentally safe general-purpose cleaner -- and an excellent paint stripper. I have used it on some very old Hinton Hunt figures as well as more recent figures from a variety of manufacturers. In every case it has removed the...
While Duchy of Warsaw line regiment grenadiers wore bearskins, I believe that the Vistula Legion grenadiers wore French shakos with Polish plates until 1813 at which point they wore the czapka. Also Murawski Miniatures is coming out with a line of Vistula Legion troops to go with their lovely Duchy ...
I would be interested. We have recently been playing Musket and Tomahawk for French and Indian War and AWI -- we can often do a small game over an extended lunch hour. I think a version that covered the earlier period would be great! For inspiration I would read my colleague George Satterfield's Pri...
Günter, Thanks for the beautiful photos, especially the helmet. I, too, have had a long-time interest in the Westphalian army -- I have spent many happy times in Kassel, Marburg, and Berlin (the GSA in Dahlem where many of the documents that had been moved to Merseberg have finally been returned). I...

And the folds look great! It is nice to know that the fading concern it not really a problem. I am still cons...
Martin, Thanks for your thoughts. As I mentioned in the initial post, I also like to have the company reflected in the basing. My Prussians (25mm Der Kriegspielers) way back in '70s were mounted on bases on four bases of eight (4x2) for Musketeers and Grenadiers and eight bases of four for Fusiliers...
Very nice, Greystreak! I have a question on the GMB flags, what process to you use on the flags? I have heard white glue, glue, sticks, etc. Also, do you varnish this gloss and then flat? The reason I ask is I am trying to decide on flags for some new units. My British are are Flag Dude which I like...
