My "New" Osprey Books

I picked up some second hand Ospreys from TradeMe a few weeks ago and here they are. This little group expands my 19th century collection quite nicely!

I actually bought this one in Hong Kong in '92. It sat alone in my collection because I was much more interested in the Napoleonic wars that the earlier period.

This ine is really outside my period of interest but it has sparked a bit of interest in the uniforms of Marborough.

Nothing to report...

I'm older...... It has been so long since I last posted that I had forgotten my password and had to go and make a new one. I haven't painted a single figure in months and I am not exercising. My stomack looks like I am six months pregnant. But I have bought 6 more Osprey books. I now have the complete 18th century American Colonial period uniform books. Photos coming...
