    The foam is a very dense type which is used for wall liners in caravans. It takes cutting very well. Most of the parts were done on my bandsaw.

    Thanks for the remarks, and the Rep from Dave chaps.
    The rules tat we mainly use are Rebellion in the Colonies by Peter Helm, now sadly out of print, and Washington's Wars by David Hoffman. We have also played about with Redcoat by Scotty Bowden.

    It is in 25 mm scale Vol.
    I wish I had done it in 15 now, but all my troops were already established at 25 to fit in with other members collections for shows.
