Another month with no post

No not health issues just lacklustre performance on my part but as no one reads these musings but me, honest I do, it doesn't really matter.

So what has happened since May, well not a lot. I finished enough of the Baccus ECW figures to try out the Montgomery scenario in the For King and Parliament rulebook. It went fairly well with a glorious victory for the King in no small part due to the rebel cavalry foragers not returning till the last possible moment.

I sent off the 10mm Fantasy figures and bridge to Joshua Project HQ and was pleasantly surprised to see the good old Royal Mail nail the delivery by beating the paid for 48 hours target.

To make a change from the ECW figures I started some Baccus late imperial Romans, cataphracts are a pain. I may do these under a 30 days 30 miniatures challenge, but upping the ante slightly by making it 30 days 30 bases. Obviously that will entail more than just the Romans, I also have some 10mm Arab light cavalry from Pendraken on the painting table two bases for To The Strongest and one for ADLG. Plus the newest project 1940 Chain of Command in 10mm using the Gembloux Gap pint sized campaign. Then back to the ECW. So could be a busy month at least work is still alternate weeks in and out.

Corona miniaturia or will this virus increase painting productivity

Ok so it's been too long since the last post. In which time the world has gone into isolation luckily I managed to make it to the Hammerhead show. Staying at the excellent Lions B&B in Newark and having a nice pint and very good dinner in the Prince Rupert, I even found some loo roll in Morrison's. This enabled me to pick up some supplies and more figures for the months ahead.

Unfortunately the mad tin hatter couldn't make the show so I was unable to pass on my contribution to the for Joshua Project. I'm hoping. The postal system keeps going for a while so I can get these delivered. I can combine this with my one period of daily exercises as its a three mile roundtrip of a gentle walk to the post office.

I have also been able to complete a few extra pieces, 25 orc archers from Pendraken and a damaged bridge from Battlescale wargame buildings.
