Towards the end of last year I was fortuitously introduced to an enthusiastic fellow modeller, one David Love. He had, for many years, been engaged in collecting and painting 54mm scale figures and had progressed to constructing scenic bases to contain various groups of these figures. He felt, however, he had arrived at a point where there was a strong urge to develop his hobby, particularly regarding 'scratch building' and developing more individualistic figurines. For my part, owing to unforeseen circumstances, I had been absent from the modelling scene for many, many years, although naturally following events monthly in Military Modelling magazines. Dave's exuberant enthusiasm soon had me back in the 'grip' of the modelling fever. Suffice to say after further meetings the outcome was an agreed plan to create mutually a small diorama. The subject was to be a Catling gun and Royal Naval Brigade team during the Sudan campaign.
