Lion Rampant… Flutter, Flutter, Flutter…

Greetings…

When my friend Matt came into work and told me about the lovely new Victrix Islamic Cavalry he had just bought…
I did not… Immediately go on to their website… 

Nope I definitely did not go here…

Nor did I dig out a couple of books that I thought Matt (And maybe me) might find interesting…



Nope…. Not me

Judeo -Turkish Steppe Nomads versus Kievan - Rus Warriors… 

Nope… Not me…

No I didn’t make a list…


Not even a little one…

No I did not pick up a few miniatures from North Star Military Figures…


Nope… 
I got Matt to do it for me… Well he was going over anyway…


When I said a ‘few’…
Nope… Not a few… Oops!

Sigh!… Or maybe… Hurrah! 🤣.

These are very busy / packed frames…



Well laid out with loads of options…


And a reasonably clear numbered instruction sheet…

As a rule I don’t enjoy building plastic kits/figures but I have decided to ‘ have a go ‘ and put together a collection using only the plastic box/bag sets.
Let’s see if I can get over this block/ phobia…

Nope!…I didn’t go home and start sticking some together immediately…
Nope!…
Nope!…


Of course I did…🤣.
I think the best way to describe the assembly process might be ‘Pose variations’ as opposed to ‘Multiple choice anything goes’
They have positive fittings where possible and were very easy to put together…

I really don’t know when I will get around to painting them… I’m still shifting stuff around the house and filling the cellar with my embarrassment of toys and stuff..

I was thinking about what I would like when I eventually get around to adding an extension to the back of my property…
And with the current popularity of the the film The Brutalist and a renewed interest in the work of Erno Goldfinger…

How about…


I can’t see any of the neighbours having a problem 🙀

I’m feeling better and Spring is on its way… 
Here’s to getting some painting done…

All the best.  Aly
