These are only getting better. The smoke effect is just superb now. The close up photography I envy. But what strikes me is the sense of movement, in what are still images. Everyone will say how incredible is the modelling. I will say what photographic skills too.

I'm with DH on this. GREAT photography. No bases visible. I can't imagine how they did the smoke effects. Outstanding.

Thank you to everyone for their kind comments. The smoke is generated by a disco smoke machine suggested by my wonderful wife ‘ Der Feldmarschall'. She got fed up with, unsurprisingly, my previous use of a bee smoker. The stink was diabolical but the smoke looked great! Happy modelling. Chris

Absolutely brilliant, I agree with all the comments. I especially like the second picture, also the Brunswickers, and the limbers and wagons. They look so convincingly real. You could do a roaring trade selling these as framed prints.
