I Love it. My sort of thing. The mule/horse being hoisted off/on to the boat is fabulous. Great effort. |

Looks great – are they French attacking in single company columns?! Or maybe just advancing into the town? |

Many things about that collection are mind boggling 1) the amount of time it must take to set it all up 2) and pack it all away 3)the large number of peripheral accessories such as civilians, wagons, carts broken wagons, mules be off loaded from a ship. All of that would take years to collect and paint 4) the amount of time to do all of the above must be staggering, it would take a lifetime to copy the collection 5) amazing boats – tell us more about them -- resin kits, wood or scratch-built; and all of the rigging in them 6) biggest collection of buildings and towns that I've ever seen; 7) stunning terrain boards Oh, and the minis look pretty nice too. I tip my cap to the fellows that put all of this together. |

Truly impressive. Beautiful figures, amazing terrain and scenery and all round a marvellous example of our hobby. |

The three large galleons were bought by Ron over 20 years ago, from a model shop on the Costa del Sol, Spain. With hindsight, he wishes he'd bought a lot more of them as the shop is no longer there. |

Are these the same as the ones from last September or a new set?

At least this one is unlikely to produce another lawsuit! |

To Mickthemagpie: Fingers firmly crossed on that score :-) |

While fantastic to see the photos and thanks for sharing, I actually saw this set up 'in the flesh' at Wartorn, Scarborough and it looks all the more impressive that way. Pant wettingly good infact!
I spent a large amount of time trying to figure how we could fit the various ships into boxes to take home without anyone noticing!
Excellent effort for a great looking set up and thanks for taking as much time as you did talking to me during the game.
By the way guys, all the buildings in the photos are hand made except for one very small piece, but I am not telling! Erik |

WOW !!!Just fantastic !!!!! |

Really Excellent, though I have to confess to a chuckle at the two Spanish guns on the Gate House! :o) |

Reminds me of some of Paul Darnell's terrain! Aren't those British infantry from the wrong period? (1815 uniforms?) |

Joe , as ever your photo's bring life to the art form and Ron's games are for me always moving into a different league and truly become works of art for the hobby , of mouth wateringly drooling impact … how could you not be passionate about the hobby after seeing such a game planned and laid out. Outstanding !!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Sidney Fiddler | 04 Aug 2011 12:02 a.m. PST |
Good game, but totally in the style
of Paul Darnell. Have they been influenced
by this great terrain maker?
Chin up

I've seen this from 2 sites now in the past 2 days. I'm in Iraq for a spell and miss the hobby. Seeing this on the internet makes me sick to get back to my own 28MM Napoleonic gaming again. Truly inspiring stuff here |

Not bad… however the shade of yellow used on the French hussars braid is slightly off the mark. Otherwise its good. Jusr kidding, thats pretty mindblowing. One of the best Ive seen. |
