Lace 'n Big Hats is a diary of my lead adventures. The title comes from a remark of Martin Rapier, a member of TMP. Lace 'n Big Hats aggregates historical periods such as the Lace wars, Seven years war, Napoleonic Wars etc, which had this elaborate dress as one common factor. I like the phrase so much I am thinking of using it as a name for a rule set I am working on. My historical interests are actually a bit broader, so I will be throwing in bits and pieces from WW2 and even the Modern era.

28mm American War of Independence (AWI) militia
I've just finished these figures in a mixed group someone sent me. I am not sure, but I think these figures are from Perry miniatures. There are some other Perry miniatures in the figures I received, but none come close in terms of the quality of the casting. If all Perry figures were like this I'd never buy anything else.
I made the fence from 2.5mm thick 3 ply wood. I'd seen something similar at the Tripples show in Sheffield. It makes a nice prop for photos, and works with everything from 15mm to 40mm, depending on where you place it in the photo. With smaller figures I put it in the 'distance', so that the figures don't look out of scale.
