    Thanks Ian, I thought you'd like this given the period. More to follow and you never know I could be tempted by a Franco-Prussian War round figure. Will you be at Sword & Lance? ;)

    Cheers Keith. I'm on a bit of a Franco-Prussian War obsession at the moment, more coming soon. :)

    I have been given volumes one and two of the old Cassell's History of the War between France and Germany. I think that there were twelve in total.
    The massive number of superb engravings is very inspiring and has lead me to purchase the Pegaso French Zouave 1866-85 sculpted by Carl Reid.
    I think that I too could be a bit obsessed.
    Cheers,
    Keith

    These two volumes have been my inspiration Keith, highly recommended.
