During the period when the blog went quiet I painted up US and German of forces for O Group. The infantry were from the Victrix range, but the vehicles and guns were from Pendraken. Last month, while back in the UK I placed another order on Pendraken to add more supports for both sides. First…
It’s been a funny old year. My painting, and gaming, has been all over the place. Dan giving me a copy of Xenos Rampant definitely took things in an unexpected direction and got my 15mm Expanse stuff out of the box and some terrain built, plus a few things knocked off the leadpile. But Middle…
Hi everyone! Each end of the year, I say to myself that I should/will write a review and announce projects for the future… and never do it. Why not ? I see several good, or bad, reasons: – so many people write a review, why another ? – it’s not something to write in February…
As we are away for the official Xmas Day we don’t open our presents until we get back home, usually on New Year’s Eve. This is a family tradition and is a great way to avoid the after Xmas doldrums. Today I was given an Army Painter speed paint set by my sons, a…
The Game Room on Dec 30, 2023; a shell, but a sound one… …compared to the splendid set up of in March of this year. As is the tradition, here is a post summarizing the blogging/hobby year past. I think the two images of my game room say it all: this has been a disruptive…
Richard from Shed West got in contact. He was travelling back from family in Cambridgeshire to home in the West Country and suggested he might drop in for a game to break up the journey. Well, why not? I thought I’d drawn a line under this year’s entertainment with Pydna, but here was a chance…
The next element of the layout I wanted to work on was the riverfront. The flats and the marshes lie near the River Thames, and I wanted to replicate the look of the river. My first decision was to avoid the use of too much blue when painting the river. The Thames is a tidal…
Nunca antes he publicado ninguna entrada similar con nadie en el blog pero esta vez me veo obligado a hacerlo. Tristemente ayer día 30 de Diciembre de 2023 falleció el señor Bryan Ansell. Supongo que si eres habitual de este blog no hará falta de decir quien es. Solamente queda decir que acompaño en el…
In amongst Malcom’s excellent painted Pirates, were these fab figures. I can only guess that Malcom painted these figures up generically, to represent either South American or African tribesmen? The figures are infact Copplestone Castings and are Ngoni Tribesmen from their Darkest Africa range. Most of the figures have a brilliant headdress I think…
54mm Timpo plastic toy soldiers. These are „recasts“ of the original figures. I found a source for Timpo 54mm toy soldier size (1/32 scale) figures to add to my Union American Civil War forces. Timpo has been out of business for ages and someone(s) have recast new plastic figures off of the original toy…
