Ok. I do not think for one minute that anyone in Scotland is hoping for, or crowing over the possible demise of Claymore. Far from it. However, the fundamental point is that there is a feeling amongst the wargaming confraternity that attending Claymore is a less attractive prospect than it has been....
Guess I better - my soul also. I find whats "on" is important for my concentration. TV - documentaries, or films I have seen loads of times, so I dont actually have to watch! Music - My joy is my ipod - I have made up a few playlists for paiinting to suit the mood Im in. so "War against the French" ...

I have of course, seen the many fine games and ...

However, I have now become a basetex acolyte, its fine and fast and you can add cork bits and such - I still use polyfilla or putty for the odd bit of terrain sculpting (pools, cannonball grooves).
