The irregular is our web-newssheet published on our site and downloadable. It is our way of communicating with our collectors and will feature news on new and planned products, specials and one-off items of special interest. In addition there will be articles, news, opinions and items of general interest.

All collectors are invited to supply copy, anything to do with collecting, painting, conversions, scenery, diorama-building, antique/old figures, famous battles, re-enactment, dates of events, museum information etc. We will print items of interest in various languages.

We will travel around Europe from time to time to visit battlefields and famous sites, especially now that the Napoleonic clock is ticking towards Waterloo in 8 years time. We will report on our visits and take pictures; we will try to film downloadable bits where possible.

One of the reasons for choosing Maastricht as our site is the central location in the cockpit of “Old” Europe. We are within hours of the main Historical and cultural sites and Museums/private collections in Holland Belgium, Germany, France and the United Kingdom. London with its wealth of Museums and expositions, its amazing libraries and record offices and a calendar filled with cultural events.

Very close to many of the main battlefields in Europe, 1 hour to Quatre-Bras and Waterloo, 5 hours to the Normandy Beaches, 2 hours to Arnhem (a bridge too far), 90 minutes to Bastogne (battle of the Bulge), 6 hours to Blenheim, 1 hour from the largest open-air WW2 tank museum and lets not forget 3 hours to Paris to visit the Champs de Mars, Compiegne and Les Invalides plus one or two other pleasures Paris has to offer.

Together with collectors we will travel to these places and post a record on this site in “the Glorious Irregular”.

We’ll keep you posted… irregularly.
