One thing that did impress me at the Durham Show was a range of 28mm figures for the Jacobite wars,from my mate Graham Cummings.Using the title Crann Tara Miniatures,Graham has commissioned Richard Ansell to create a range of Jacobite's for him.
I saw the first six figures,cast and painted.
Imagine Minden Miniatures,but the Scottish version and one would have a good idea what you are looking at.
The figures are really lovely,with a great deal of detail and life about them.
I knew Graham was loaded,but to have such a range made me pretty envious of him.
I know Graham intends to expand the range,so for anyone who wants to game this campaign I would definitely recommend the range.
What was really impressive was the different Targe's that went with each figure to give them even more individuality, war gamers are really lucky people.
See the figures at scotia albion blogspot.
The Independent Wargames Group. Being a Journal of views, prejudices, ideas and photographs of wargaming not just nationwide, but hopefully world wide. The name IWG was adopted in the early 1980's in response to the then dominant Wargames Research Group, but things have moved on, and wargaming appears to be in somewhat of a Golden Age, so sit back and hopefully enjoy my rantings.
