AA (=absolutely amazing ) !!! But can anyone tell me which manufactures are used? I'm not a fan of 28mm miniatures..but for th present...

[Dad's Army]

Wonderful Thomas, thanxs for letting us know

A pitty it's to far away...

[chen]

That's a HUGE amount of painted figures.

[Paul]

...and a huge amount of photos
The bloke dressed up as Napoleon and there´s that what´s his face from the sharpe series.
Looks like it was fun.

[Peter]

These pictures are wonderfull indeed

But if this shows the Battle of Waterloo (and it is), there is one great mistake on one of the horses of this diorama. Wellington is riding on a white horse, and that's not true. He was riding on Kopenhagen, a brown horse (look at my avatar )! Just a minor detail on a great bunch of painted figures

[Paul]

,,,,at the beggining of the battle his horse was indeed brown but it rained all day and washed the colour off

What's happening here?

[monty]

OMG. An especially weird example of morbid British humour.

I find it not in the least bit humorous ;-
Maybe it´s a very obvious way of saying that doctors and surgeons are there to "lend a Hand".
Or it´s how they prevented the clap in those days.
Or it´s the doc trying to keep his hand in
As to why it´s there, I´m stumped
I wonder if the wounded had to pay a handling fee ?
The operation must have left them feeling saw
There´s something not right but I can´t put my finger on it

Sorry, I´ll stop now

[Dad's Army]

or they need some helping hands....

[monty]

that docter must be very handy with that axe

[Paul]

It´s the victorian version of the "Hokey Cokey" " you put your left hand in and don´t take your left hand out, in shout, out shout and don´t wave it all about" All together now......
Or the doc is looking for handouts
Or someone noticed someone else stealing and shouted "HANDS OFF!!"

[ColeF]

I gotta hand it to ya Paul.

[Paul]

I gotta hand it to ya Paul.

Thanks, but I wasn´t looking for a hand out

Or whilst playing cards, they found out that some of them were holding bad hands
Or it´s metaphorical refusal to accept the digital age
Or.........
