The tribute to Peter Gilder was never going to be a series of regularly created posts especially given the paucity of information re the late great man. Im pleased to say I very recently purchased some Donald Featherstone ephemera and amongst the magazines was the following;
This was published around 1965/1966 and was an attempt to help the wargamers create some half decent terrain. Naturally Featherstone enlisted the help of Gilder who had introduced himself to Featherstone and had also made a gift of a finely crafted hill that was shown in several articles by Featherstone and in a couple of his books.
Fresh from his triumph that was the 1965 demonstration of the Battle of Waterloo Peter Gilder was starting to make a name for himself as not only a skilled figure sculptor, but also a skilled terrain maker and fine figure painter.
I can only apologise for the poor quality text and photograph but one should remember that these are originals pages now some fifty five years old!!! I am however pleased that I was able to obtain this piece of wargaming history that I feel needs sharing with any interested wargamers.
