Introduction......well that is not very original I know.
Ok first of all I think the best thing is to introduce myself and to tell what this blog is intended and dedicated to.
I could simply say that all is in the title but I can not limit myself to this subject even if it is very very rich. Now I am very fond of the Franco Prussian War too but I will speak about that another time
I am fond of the American Civil War and the American Revolution since I am a child. I will always remember my mother and my elder brother buying me Airfix HO Confederate Infantry, AWI British Grenadiers and Washinton's Army;
After that brilliant start, I got some boxes from Airfix Napoleonic series and there I went for years.
So it is not very surprising if I am still painting figures from AWI and ACW ranges: you will see in the following posts that I am really involved in scratch building and converting figures.
About the ranges I am crazy about: Foundry, Perry ( even if the quality of their range varies from "oh my god it is awesome" to " oh my god what is this bucket of crap clearly made by someone else"), Eureka and lately King Mountain.
I will create links to these ranges and I will certainly speak one day of them to stress what is really interesting and pretty and what is not.
I am currently working on Queens Rangers at the Battle of Monmouth: my good friend Mark Maritato has depicted them in a very different early uniform I found wonderful. So my first article will be based on this
I hope you will enjoy it!
