Do you have a dog? If so, I don't even have to explain the possibilities..

That isn't a floor fan, that is a suitcase.
No dog.
Not my coat.
Closet door too far away.
I'll be back.

Great stuff Hancock. My brothers and I used to play with hundreds of plastic Airfix soldiers. We would set them up and take turns rolling a dice - that was the number killed. Then the dog would knock half of them down. The battles would go on for days and Mum would go mad cuse she couldn't vac the floor - great days. I've still got the soldiers.
My votes for Union defence slaugtering the brave Reb charge.

Me as well Tim.

I had a collection of about 5,000 total at one time. Infantry, Cavalry, Artillery.........hand painted every one of them.
Made miniature scales of 1st Manassas, Shiloh and Gettysburg........sure wish I still had them.
Many great memories.

Ours were mostly WW2 with some WW1 and later on a large collection of Napoleonics. The Napoleonics I gave to my cousin who still has them. We had some of the ACW (a mate had loads and a battlefield all set up in his loft). Also had the Romans and Ancient Brits. Only ever painted the Napoleonics. Have you seen the new Perry Plastics? Both ACW and Nappy. B)
Sorry we hijacked the thread Hancock...:unsure:

Besides the fact that everything I said was ignored, it's okay.
