It's Been A Bit Quiet Because...


....I have "re-branded" my other blog, http://inthegrandmanner.blogspot.com/ . It originally started as a tribute to Peter Gilder's work but it soon became apparent that I did not have the time to produce enough figures and that a whole load of people were managing a better tribute to his work than I ever could! Soooo, I made the decision to change it to a 20mm wargames blog because that is the scale I started in and I know I can produce sufficient numbers of figures to make it worthwhile.

It is intended to be mainly Napoleonicky-but as you will see from the first post I could post just about anything! It will take a little while to get it up and running, so please bear with me for a couple more weeks (by which time my Jaegers and Helion's Hussars should be sitting in my "to-do-next" pile!). By the way, these are 20mm Newline Designs 1815 British Guards. They now reside in the USA.

More beautifully painted figures, although I will miss those Hinchcliffes! Keep up the good work.

20mm? Those are excellent! If I can get close with my current 28mm Perry plastics I'll be very pleased!

Hi Ian,

It had to be I am afraid, I can produce them at a ratio pf 5:1 in comparison. "Noel's Garage" is the unattainable dream - still!

Hi Matt

I do understand! I was lucky enough to be invited to visit the garage a couple of weeks ago (actually I think I invited myself!). It was every bit as amazing as the photos on the blog. I too wish to emulate it but it will have to be in 15mm for me - Ian's shed perhaps?
