- More French Staff Figures October 22, 2017Just tinkering last night - some retouching, and rebasing to the new house standard.

The regulation ADC (one for a General de Division) is a NapoleoN figure - for a while he had sky-blue overalls, wh […]MSFoy
- Paint Table Sunday: Rocks 2 October 22, 2017A brief entry this week as I have had no time to do hobby stuff, lately, and am trying to evade potential oversea trips. Nigeria has been postponed (hooray) and I shifted Saudi onto a colleague (double hooray - at least Nigeria has beer and statuesque women to look at) but still have two week long trips in November (I get back from one on Saturday and have […]legatus hedlius
- We are all Negan October 22, 2017"It’s gonna be pee-pee pants city here real soon.”It seems strange to report that I have not painted anything for a couple of months. Looking back to the now long distant summer holidays the big push to complete all the miniatures and terrain required for my Congo game rather sapped my hobby mojo leaving little more than a husk of gamer, but one that wa […]Michael Awdry

- Pilot Figures - pick up the brush... October 20, 2017Not much painting recently - I was doing quite well for a few weeks, but the Real Life situation took hold again; it's not so much that I have no time, it's just that there is a lot to think about and I find it hard to settle to get on with things.My French general staff and ADCs will continue as a background project - no particular rush there. My […]MSFoy

- Hear ye, hear ye … Calpe October update October 17, 2017It was with the greatest of pleasures that von Peter himself spotted an update to the listings for the Saxons on the website of his favourite manufacturer Calpe Miniatures. And then on the following day joy of joys his pleasures were multiplied with the discovery of an update in the News section providing some information concerning the future of Calpe Minia […]von Peter himself

Wow! That looks impressive!
Very nice Arteis…
Today I viewed a video about the Samurais that mentioned
Minamoto Musashi [not sure of the spelling…?] and the
and the piece of writing that he completed .
He fought in one of the sectarian armies but later became a bit of a loner
apparently . One of the wandering Ronin until his reputation grew .
God bless you.
I will be taking my ANZAC cove , and Western front battle dioramas
to my local library [Papatoetoe War Memorial Library] for ANZAC day soon .
Keep up the good work.
Nick Pap-etc./Hellenic Kiwi.
sorry forgot to add the name of the book that Minamoto Musashi wrote=>
The Book of Five Rings.
Nick P.
Wow looks great
