Real life kicks in again .


Still busy decorating the house and repairing the garden so not much gaming getting done at the moment . However I have got the next batch of figures stripped and cleaned ready for painting . The are solid recasts (?) of some Britains Egyptian infantrymen one of which was missing an arm/rifle - so he's been promoted to an Officer with the addition of a sword carrying arm . I hope to get some of these painted later this week .


Hodge looks on thinking - if you got back to painting the walls rather than fiddling around with toy soldiers you would get the job done !

  1. I dunno, looks to me like Hodge was picturing how good he would look in a fez. The absolute, inscrutable, ruler of an exotic land.

  3. Hodge looks like my Cat that I had when very young- the cat's name was 'Tiddles'. Like the Egyptians and your Conversion Officer. Cheers. KEV.

  4. Great looking figures Tony! "Hodge" looks just like my daughter's cat, "George." He rules the entire house and has us all waiting on him! They are an awful lot of fun though!
