Great fix. Can't tell what is fix and what is original without the written description.

As a 3D print Luddite, this shakes the tenets of my unbelieving. (Although, cost, lack of skill and where to put a printer etc are still major pillars of my unbelieving)

The inappropriately named #ECWtravelogue is setting off in search of the Marquis of Montrose. So it's only appropriate we listen to this: youtu.be/v5zav2yrC7M?...

So, late on Sunday I decided that my heavy limbers needed to be distinguishable from my medium limbers by having a 3rd pair of horses. Ordered that night. Now sat on my desk, cleaned up and base coated. New bases arrive tomorrow.

Thank you Museum Miniatures and Warbases.

If you had a wiki log-in, when that part of the site returns you'll need to re-register (due to GDPR).

You may find that bits get turned on and turned off again as we test bits.

At the moment you can't donate to the running of the site or contact us I'm afraid.
