I've done some figures (NK Egyptian Archers in Open order) when directly glued to their bases, but most of my troops are mounted a bit too close together for that to work well. <br /><br />"Pine Suppositories" is not the latest fad medical treatment, but rather refers to the Cossack lances in said scenario, which, by it's set up, invariably leads to the Cossacks infiltrating behind the French lines and charging them in the derriere!<br />Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-40939087305149256712013-05-30T01:34:33.574-04:002013-05-30T01:34:33.574-04:00You were in full "muse mode" yesterday w...You were in full "muse mode" yesterday weren't you?! Most interesting stuff though, thanks.<br /><br />I used to use the same thing—well, popsicle sticks, but a nudge is as good as a wink to a blind bat. They are really handy way to get around a figure aren't they? Figures blue-tac'ed on? I recently dispensed with them and am painting the figures after gluing them to the base. I don't' miss much with my level of painting!<br /><br />The 'pine suppository'... dare I ask?!James Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897755636246185173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-56551049640330101892013-05-28T22:07:34.364-04:002013-05-28T22:07:34.364-04:00Sounds like with your plans, mine, Barry's (an...Sounds like with your plans, mine, Barry's (and possible Greg/Edgar) we should have more than enough Men in Blue for Ligny!Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-67896706533759708062013-05-28T22:06:15.738-04:002013-05-28T22:06:15.738-04:00Well, recall I was originally a Chemistry major; i...Well, recall I was originally a Chemistry major; indeed, I was accepted to Grad school in Chemistry at the same time as I applied to Medical school, and I would NOT have reapplied to Medical school if I hadn't been accepted the first time out. I still love Chemistry, especially things that make purty colors! :-)Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-46946640089184119772013-05-28T16:11:10.253-04:002013-05-28T16:11:10.253-04:00That's a lot of tongue depressors!
