I regularly read about various unpleasant persons who seem to take pleasure in attacking [in a verbal sense] other wargamers on the internet. Perhaps I've just been lucky, but the wargamers I have had contact with are enthusiastic people with a love for our hobby.
One such person is a wargamer/collector called Jason Williams, who has been fortunate to collect a lot of the renaissance figures used by Mike Ingham and previously owned by Peter Gilder from the old Wargames Holiday Centre.
Jason totally out of the blue some months ago sent me some spare figures from the collection. It was like some wonderful dream really. Anyway Jason has come up trumps again and very kindly sent me some spare command figures, he didnt need?
I have now been able to make up a base, adding a Perry standard bearer. I'm afraid the photographs do not do justice to the two mounted figures. But I would again like to thank Jason for his extreme generosity. Now if I can just get John Ray to donate his collection to me.
Splendid colors and beautiful vignette!
ReplyDeletePhil,
DeleteIt looks even better in the flesh. Its great to be in contact with some good people.
Really lovely command base- funnily enough I'm doing a command style base for one of the wargames mags at the mo. I'm basing it on San Romanao.

Robbie- Absolutely correct regarding Mr Williams. A Gentleman and a scholar of the first water. I've seen him at shows for years- he buys a fair bit of our Italian Wars range. However more to the point he sent me - a few weeks back -a bundle of ECW artillery- Photos of which will be appearing on my blog- would have already if I hadn't bogged up the first set of pics....... C'est la Vie !
