Thank you very much; as for doing a book, I have not looked into it. That would be very interesting project.

Here's an attempt at speed painting (from a photo). The initial pencil needs to be quick but I think I will be able to take more time with the actual painting and shadowing next time.

That looks like it would be fun. I will need to scan the various threads and get an idea as to what to wear and what events to attend. I might just go to an event to see how things are run and...

Thanks Craig! An excellent piece of investigation.

The term "Pizza Pie" is more common but "Tomato Pie" is completely out of left field for most people. As for who invented pizza (I have not confirmed this) but I thought that it had been introduced...

"Shoddy" is the only word that I can recall with Civil War roots. I was surprised years ago to learn that Shoddy (meaning poor quality) came from cheap cloth used for soldier's uniforms. I tried to...

Very impressive! Now I know who to consult when I am looking for a wargame to play. :D

The evidence is mounting! Soon "hort" will be a legal Scrabble word. Thank Hank! :grin:

I was recently thinking about the word Cohort - a group or band of people. Then logically "Hort" must be people who are not part of the group. I think "Hort" should be a word and could be used as a...

Needless to say - as toy soldiers they leave much to be desired. But in the context of a new theme based Stratego game they're pretty cool. I have played the game with my son using the classic rules...

Now that would be a nice addition to anyone's collection! :-D Would you be able to post a scan of the envelope?

I like this one very much.
