Monday is just fine Manfred, thank you. And thank you both Roger and Dan, those sites are excellent resources. Steve

Thanks Manfred, excellent detail which is very much appreciated. Am I stretching the friendship if I ask for any diagrams you may have for these variations mate? No dramas if you can't. cheers, Steve

The other one. Pays to double check your sources doesn't it?

Thanks Bob and Enion. What book is this measurement from? Check out the Osprey MAA "German Armies 1870 - 71 (2)" scan and the other one from a weapon book. Steve

Osprey says 124.5 mm, which seems more reasonable. Still shorter than I thought it would be.

Excellent.

My reference says the length of the Dreyse is 1100 mm (43.25 inches). This looks a little short to me, particularly when compared to the Chassepot at 1305 mm. Can anyone (Gary!) confirm or elaborate on these figures please?

Many thanks Vitalino, looks like a very fine job you have done on it. Gary me old mate, I am well thank you, and you? I'm busy with 75mm thingees, rubber and resin. Just about ready to go. I'll look forward to any help you can give......as per usual!

I am looking for reference material on French water bottles for the Crimea 1854-56, and also the Franco-Prussian war 1870-71. The pictures I have found are obscure, and I cannot find any measurement detail. Thank you.

Breathtaking, exciting and original. Combining both artistic flair and masterful craftsmanship. Wow, this hobby is new to me again. Thank you Marjin.

Best wishes from me too John. P.S. Do more figures.

Congratulations Stathis, that is excellent. I would love to see more of your work.

Manfred, I found this - http://www.micromondi.com/corte_di_cavanno..._di_cavanno.htm No pics of the academy horse as far as I can see.

Roy, I was looking at this on your web-site earlier. Very impessive mate, well done.

Thank you all. Kind words and constructive criticism are always appreciated.

Kind words Matthew, thanks mate. Thanks for the info Gary, I'll fix that. This is a 75 mm one-off for the painting talents of Kreston Peckham. More pics here.flankcompany.com/1stTexas.html

Haven't been around for a while. hope all the PF'ers are happy and well. This bloke is from the cornfield at Antietam.

I agree with everybody else, this is great work by you Jason. Well done mate.

Titan, can I suggest you get the book "Creating life-like figures in polymer clay" by Katherine Dewey. (ISBN 0-9741530-0-1). Whilst not aimed at the military miniature genre, it is superior to any that are. In my opinion, this book is the most complete step-by-step guide through the whole...

Don't know about those heads Gary, but it is an interesting subject. I was very dissapointed when I purchased the 1/32 Civil War weapons from Wolf to find them seriously smaller than the stated scale. Variations in head sizes are possible, so differences between manufactures can occur (mind...
