Alan writes: "I stumbled across your web site and was inspired to dust off my wargame figures. Since finding your site I have built several dhows, one steam launch, a gunboat, and numerous Arab buildings to accompany my collection of 20mm Rose and Hinton Hunts British Infantry, Airfix Arabs, very early Minifig Bedouins and Jacklex Pathans."

The latest from Alan is this 54mm steam pinnace made out of scrap card, with the planking and nails drawn on. The boiler is a 35mm film holder, with a small copper fitting and a piece of dowling.

Stuart Asquith Stuart has been known to replay the Major-General's scenarios with traditional 54mm figures. Clockwise from below: The Residency at Biltezi, Bungstarter Station, Point Wytouki.
Stuart says: "The Residency is defended by Foreign Legionnaires and French sailors. The buildings are built from plain wooden blocks that it took me ages to find." Shades of H.G. Wells!	"The stockade for Bungstarter Station is of straw panels; the rickety watchtower is scratchbuilt. The Point Wytouki tower is also scratchbuilt - as if you couldn't tell - and the defending Arab figures are mostly Britains."
"The steamer Sutton Heath in all her glory. The gatlings are ex-Timpo plastic efforts. The upper works are balsa with pukka plastic ship-fittings from the hobby shop; the paddle housings are cut from cheese packaging."
