Greetings…
Well another year has come and gone…
Looking back it’s been quite a busy one… Maybe not as much with my hobby as I would have liked but time has certainly flown past…
Once again our so called leaders have shown us how to behave like total ‘Richard’ Heads… I am beginning to think that it’s well past the time we should have got the pitchforks and flaming brands out…🙄
And once again it’s family , friends and hobbies that keep me sane.
Due to Work, Building Work and Life/Health I haven’t been as busy as I would have liked… But looking at things I have done a lot more than I thought…
I have really butterflied around with my figure painting throughout the year… Only really coming into sharper focus in December…
A shiny start…
A jump up in size to 40mm..
15mm Dacians for DBA…
15mm Carolingians
Back up to 28mm…
Dads Army…
Oh Yes!… Flutter Flutter Flutter…
Dads Army needs some Villains…
And of course the Normans need some Byzantines…
And Flutter Flutter…
Camels!… Not even I saw that coming 🤣.
Last but by no means least…The Wars of the Roses…
Which I surprised myself by finishing everything I needed in about four weeks… Then had a game.
Oh! And I also built and painted some Snowmen.
But wait… There’s more…
The Great Rebasing Project…
The Purchase from Mr Bickley…
Some of the 24 Rebased, Re-Flagged,Re-Speared and Re-Shielded units…Hurrah!
Of course once I got the rebasing bug…
The start of the Crimean War Rebasing…
Games…
Ive actually played more games than I have taken pictures of…
Alan Perry’s Peninsular War Campaign and I am also involved in David from Miniature Minions Vimeiro Game to name a couple…
Here are a few other pictures…
So why haven’t I had more of my toys out on the table…
Building Works…😱
Most of my toys and a lot of other things have been consigned to boxes while the drains were getting dug up… Concrete getting poured and the Cellar getting ‘Tanked Out’ and plastered.
I had a Bobcat living on the drive… They wouldn’t let me play with it ☹️.
Outside…
Inside…
Tanking material on top of a new concrete floor… It looks a bit like mega bubble wrap.
Good plastering always impresses me… My chap got a glass like finish on all the surfaces.
The electrics are actually started beneath the surface and the lights and electrical points should go in very soon.
It’s going to be a workshop and storage area.
The next place to see some attention will be the wargames room…New lighting, re plastering and painting.
I still haven’t fully shaken off the virus I caught at the beginning of November… Some of my younger friends took five weeks to get rid of it.. So I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised that knackered old me with Sarcoidosis will take a bit longer…
I am feeling a heck of a lot better though…
Next year…
I’ve no real plans… so I am going to butterfly along until the wargames room is all finished and see where things take me…
Some new wargames terrain might be fun…
A Happy and Prosperous New Year to you all… And thank you for following my butterfly adventures.
