A Book and Something Silly…

Greetings …

I saw this book….

Now anyone who knows me knows that there was no way I was going to walk past this one 🤣

David Price combines a history of the development and production of this beautiful aircraft combined with an account of how he decided to built a full scale replica in his own back garden…

I am looking forward to reading this 😁

And now something silly…

I decided it was about time I inflated my Tank Museum tank shells…

I’ve had these for quite some time and they have spent most of that time in a box… Then my neighbour lent me a bicycle pump with the correct adapter…

I think the only ones that are still available are the 88mm and a Panzerfaust…

The cat was impressed…

I have actually been doing more painting… I am working my way through a unit of Shiny Napoleonics French Infantry, I am taking it slow but steady and I will try and post some WIP pictures soon.

Right… Enough silliness… I’m off to find an inflatable Tank 🙀

All the best.  Aly

The Other Partizan 2025.

Greetings…

At the weekend I paid a flying visit to the Other Partizan….

This years show was certainly a busy one with many splendid games to see…

I only had a couple of hours to get around the games and get some shopping done so I have not taken as many pictures as I might have… But hopefully what I have will give a good reflection of the quality.

I did manage to chat with a few friends but some I only saw from the other side of the (very busy ) room.

It was indeed a jolly morning out with chums.

All the best.  Aly

The Hundred Days… Imperial Guard Chasseurs…Basing.

Greetings….

While waiting for my various eye operations to heal I have amassed/assembled a fair number of units for this project…

Some if not many I will paint myself… But I decided a good way to kick start things would to get my good chum Mark at Over Open Sights to paint a unit for me…

He has of course done a marvellous job…

The figures are a made from mix of Perry Miniatures French early and Late Line Infantry with some Green Stuff additions…
