Thanks first to Barry and Clarence for the kind words and hello. They are both damn fine painters and jolly creative chaps.
Now that I have a little more room for my work/hobby and could actually swing quite a fat cat around my workshop (or games room if I am out to impress anyone) I can indulge myself a little and so my thoughts have turned to a few Wargames projects for 2010.
The Sudan has again captured my attention, but from a model making point of view. Always rather favouring the under dog, I have started to make part of the city of Omdurman and the Mahdi's tomb, which the British blew up after the battle. Once this is done I shall move onto making some villages along the Nile and other typical features of the Sudan. I hope to get gaming the period at some time, but for now its about making the models and taking some good photos of them with a few figures.
The second project is the ACW and I'm making some typical terrain with a small town which can also be used as a railway station, both of which are ripe for cavalry raids. Throw in a few blockhouses, a fort and the odd farm and you have a layout which offers a lot of potential for large scale skirmish games.
The third new thing this year is that I'm converting figures for both the above periods and a few Napoleonics. This is something that I'm really enjoying as its great to make unique figures.
So that's a short intro into what I am up to and now its down in print, if you see me at any show with another period, its ok to boo and throw dice at me.
Cheers for now
