Finally I have managed to get a few hours to devote to a project that has been on the table for quite sometime: My Redoubt Miniatures Heliograph team.
This will be in use for the forthcoming games and testing out some scenarios etcetera for possible future articles and publications.

These Redoubt Miniatures have been in the collection for many years. When I say collection I do mean "lead pile" and has painted up very well. I have based them on an irregular footprint so that they can have a suitably rugged environment to do their vital work in.

| The table covering is an excellent desert mat recommended to me by the very clever Dave Docherty of "One Man and His Brushes" fame. |

| A nice Connoisseur Miniatures animal handler and mule managed to make their way onto the base as well. |
Hopefully these will be on the table very soon.
Great looking vignette. I really like that desert mat. Where did you find it?
ReplyDeleteHi Jim and thank you very much. Dave D put me onto it through TinyWargames. This one is 13 x 7 and I think it looks fantastic. It is arid/desert combination. I don’t know about you Jim but lugging the tiles up and down stairs, stowage in the car etc. was just getting too much for these aching bones! The mat is just so easy to carry, set up and pack away.
ReplyDeleteIndeed .. I must say the mats make it easy!
DeleteA lovely vignette piece Carlo
Thanks Dave.
DeleteA wonderful vignette, excellent job!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Phil.
DeleteThey can probably see the 30 Mahdists that I'm currently painting.
ReplyDeleteInspiring vignette, Carlo!
Good on you Mark...keep on painting mate.
DeleteA lovely little vignette. Must get a heliograph for my own collection.
ReplyDeleteThank you AJ - I can see these lads getting a run in “I’ve been working on the railroad”.
DeleteVery sharp! I have the foundry set to do myself.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Pat. Make sure you send a few images of your set once it’s complete mate as I always enjoy seeing Colonial collections from all over the globe.
DeleteExtremely nice vignette indeed, and an absolute must for any collection. I just hope their spotter can see signs of the long awaited scenario and campaign book? I visited the York Wargames show last weekend and the South London Warlords had a great participation using your rules and one of the mats you refer to. All very inspiring and so we are extending our collection to include Bengal Lancers and Infantry and possibly some more jolly Jocks.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for that.
DeleteExcellent work Carlo.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Ray.
DeleteOf course you know you need two of now these right?
ReplyDeleteBugger!!!
DeleteOh very very nice Mr Carlo. I must have one for my collection.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Nathan...now to start on the second...bloody Dave D😉
DeleteNice! I'm building up my Sudan collection. Mainly Perry metals and plastics, but I'm tempted by the Redoubt stuff having seen your vignette. Just got Sands of Sudan and I must say, they are a bloody nice ruleset!
ReplyDeleteHi Leo and thanks for your nice comments. I’m very pleased you are building up the collection and paying attention to the many various ranges out there. The Redoubt range has done particularly nice pieces. Thanks also for grabbing a set of the rules as it is much appreciated.
DeleteExcellent work mate, the little bits on the table make all the difference
ReplyDeleteThey absolutely do Matty. How’s France buddy?
