Michael, you agreed to buy the Zulu War armies from me but I have not been able to contact you to confirm at the e-mail address you list. Please drop me a line...
I am looking for 6mm unpainted/painted figures from Ancients thru Vietnam War era. I am also looking for 6mm figures to do a Lord of the Rings armies with. In...
I downloaded a copy of Pete Berry's 6mm siege rules, "When Cannon are Roaring" from Magweb, but the original is so badly faded that the Artillery Fire Table...
I posted the following Colonials list a while back. If interested in anything, let me know. The ACW Union has already gone from my previous listing. I have...
Hi, I have a full collection of painted and based H&R Zulu War Colonials for sale. Looks as if the agreed deal has fallen through so they are still availiable...
Hi all, Just a note of thanks to all who posted on my Litko basing problems. The solution is steel. I just mounted a batch of them, and the steel hasn't warped...
Hi Mark, I have used very thin steel under Litko bases and it works fine. All the discussion about bases makes me think that base thickness is not a popular...
I need a bunch of fences suitable for a 6mm AWI game (no particular length). I was thinking about making them and was wondering if anyone had a good trick? For...
Has anyone any knowledge or experience of these rules to share with one considering whether or not to purchase them? Are they truly fast- play army level? What...
Bob, go through BTC. http://battlefieldterrain.com/fences.htm even though the pictures are not there for the 10mm kit they are the same as the 15mm sets, the...
Tried that with the used stuff once and the players had some issues with it for some reason. Recommend using the clean type. (Sorry, a Friday afternoon humor...
Got my Baccus Austrians today (thanks, Steve), and was thinking about getting them ready to prime tonight, and was suddenly struck by a thought. Well, what...

Tom, I've just spent the last two weeks painting Napoleonic Austrians, so I know all about this subject! Prime black, very light drybrush with white which...
Hi Bob, I realise this doesn't help you make them but Irregular make some first class split rail fences in 6mm. I purchased some a few years ago and I am very...
... For 6mm, you'll be better off with "Z" gauge if you can get it. The downside is that it's typically rarer, with a more limited selection, but the good news...
Thanks. Black it is, then. I'll get them primed in the morning and they go in the que behind the French light infantry I just started. I knew how good this...
Hello Jean-Marc! ... Yes your right, base thickness is not a common subject. I've used just about every possible kind of base you can think of. One of my main...
Hello Bob, For stone walls I use a thin bead of grey caulking about a foot long then pour medium to fine railroad 'talus' over it and then just compress it...
Hello Peter & Tom! ... I'm pretty close to what Peter is doing but with a little different twist. I prime all figures black, then I drybrush white any...
I have a slightly different method. For my 6mm Irregular Austrians I base coated them in white. Then I applied a wash of black/brown to darken the the coat and...
Thanks to everyone who emailed suggestions for home made and commercial fences. In case anyone was interested, what I came to was that Irregular's fences and...
Tom, I'm currently doing a division of Austrian SYW figs from Baccus. I'm using the exact same method Peter describes, but I can't say I'm too keen on what...
