Looking forward to this, although I have used up my store of brownie points for the forseeable future though :shock: Apparently arriving at 8pm Friday, and leaving about 7.30am Saturday to get back Sunday night and then leave at 6am Monday is frowned upon :o Although the following weekend when she d...
being in central Manchester was interesting last night. Its just feral kids thieving but the police have there hands - by the left wing apologists and handwringers. The police are rightly concerned that the more robust policing of similar situations in the past will now see them prosecuted. 25 years...

This no doubt helped spead things ...
I think I was doing about 8 an hour, as there are 102, so ~ 12-13 hours. I usually only paint about 8 at a time, so never really considered the time involved in building entire units before. It was difficult to get motivated at times, and given the size of the Black Watch unit it took 4 boxes all to...
The plastics are the main reason I got into the period. Its such a cost efficient entry. 3 boxes of Victrix infantry and a few extras from Frontrank rough cost about £80 gave me 6 battalions of infantry. Off course I've added metals in the form of Portuguese infantry and cavalry and artillery from b...
