The things that you come across .


I was tidying up the outhouse which is a general dumping ground for all unwanted things and has to be purged every now and again . I came across my metal toolbox - remember those canter lever tool boxes everybody carried their figures around in about 20 years ago ? - if you were a wargamer they were  SO de rigueur . In it was a sad collection of figures , samples of different ranges and odds and sods that didn't go anywhere . However I did find two unopened blisters of Foundry Bronze Age figures .


These were the remaining two of a couple of armies I bought twenty years ago (?) in the days when Foundry did some VERY nice deals - buy one army deal get the next half price ! - the don't do that sort of thing nowadays ! . There was a chariot model and the civilian casualty pack , these were the only ones not painted , so I thought I'd better get them done seeing they had been waiting only twenty years . 


Also there was this resin terrain piece which had been undercoated ready for painting , I have long thought I am suffering from "wargaming Alzheimer's " and I have no recollection of buying this and no idea who made it , so it will be getting painted as well .


Some of my completed Bronze Age Foundry 28mm figures .

  1. Nice work on one of my favourite Foundry ranges. The Cernunnos terrain piece is quite cool too.

    1. Most of the stuff will be melted down for home-casting , think that's why it ended up in the outhouse.

  3. So someone broke into your shed and left you figures? Good thing they go with ones you bought and painted promptly. (Peeking into forgotten storage is a dangerous thing!)
