Where have I been.

 Busy print out the town of Remelle.   This the town in the last battle of Saving Private Ryan.  The customer wanted the building in 20mm -172ns scale.  Let say it is a massive under taking. My three printer are eating and spiting out filament like a hungry hog.  Some of the building are taking over 24 hrs to print because of the supports need to print the building without strings.  Plus I need to add more in fill to the walls are they were coming out a little thin...

Finding a Cannonball in your yard 101

If you find something that looks like a cannonball (see photo) in your yard please call 911 and let us know.

Last night, March 10th, we were called out to Mastin Avenue in the Seaford area of York County. Some children had been metal detecting and located a round metal object about two feet underground. They brought it inside where the parents saw it and called 911. Our deputies responded and kept an eye on things until personnel from the Naval Weapons Station could respond. They identified the object as a late Civil War cannonball from the Union Army. The cannonball possibly contained black powder based on the design. EOD collected the cannon ball.

Saga Maori vs The Brits.. Wherein the hell do I find dthe miniatures.. Here is the answer PT2

 So far the post on the Saga Broads for the Maori vd The Brits as been pretty good.  My first thought was , Hey Dude no figures for this.   Well I got you covered little buddy.  Empress Miniature makes some beauty sculpts for both sides.  To my surmise could fit into set of the different colonial dusts that the Brits had to the late 18th century.  The civilians that are armed could work with the Boer Wars.  That continued right up to the WW1.   

Now for the picture show.  

  The British Army & Civilians













  The RNS





The Fierce  Maori's










The figure can be found here from Empress Miniatures: Maori Wars


In the United States here: Age Of Glory
