More ephemera

More from the vaults of time on the theme of table dressing and ephemera which I enjoyed adding to some of my collections over the years.


The headquarters of the Army of Northern Virginia. Figures by Dixon Miniatures of course.
Strike up the band, though best not play Dixie!
Headquarters of the Army of the Potomac. Figures by Dixon Miniatures again, tented hut from Redoubt Enterprises, table and other stuff from Irregular Miniatures. 
Two contrasting SYW vignettes composed from figures in the Casting Rooms Miniatures and Foundry SYW ranges. The roast is by Irregular Miniatures.
An AWI camp scene using Foundry figured and bits with Architectural Heritage tents.
Interior of the Aces High saloon in New Paddock City.
The lawyer's office interior. Figures by Dixon Miniatures and furnishings by Frontline.
Arkwright's General Goods Store. Again Dixon Miniatures figures and Frontline fittings. All three buildings from Battleflag's range.

      Thanks Iain! Dixons ACW not to all tastes, but for me they can't be topped.

      Thanks George! Actually, it alleviates the inherent boredom present in all wargames, rescued only by good company and pretty toys, of themselves wargames are all samey. Can't you tell I'm p*ssed off with all this malarchy...
