Getting a bit bored with all this hot weather , I don't find it conducive to painting so I've been doing some re-basing . One of the advantages of my clear out of my wargaming room is now I can access figures a lot easier and in the past I have been sorting out my Spencer Smith figures and basing them for 'Black Powder' - so I've got a few more done - It's an ongoing process .
Whilst I was on with my 30mm SYW I decided to set up and play a game using 'Black Powder' rules .
I like the heat- though not when it gets above 38Deg C. Your Games Table looks perfect with your 30mm SYW - well done Tony. It is freezing here in Winter- all rugged up! Could send some to you there in England. Cheers. KEV.
ReplyDeleteThink we are not set up for these heat waves - roll on autumn !
DeleteYup, anything over 16degress I find uncomfortable, so at the moment I'm not enjoying the weather at all. Too hot in the attic to do any hobby stuff.
ReplyDeleteGetting up at 6 to take the dog for a walk before it gets too hot .
DeleteOh I like those buildings. Very old school. Are they bought or scratch built?
ReplyDeleteI got them off eBay, HO/OO German ex model railway buildings .
DeleteYour figures and table look great Tony! I hope that you get a cool-down soon! I also have a great dislike for hot weather, that's why I moved to the Adirondack Mountains!
ReplyDeleteWe English are never happy with the weather - next minute we will be complaining about all the rain etc .
DeleteNot painting at the moment either, bashing together some warehouses - glue sets hard quick in this weather
ReplyDeleteGreat table setup, the HO buildings work well
Yes the model railway buildings have tha continental look about them .
DeleteThat's a beautiful table set up - so old-school, so elegant. Are those SSMs from the WAS range? Always like to see how others use them.
ReplyDeleteThey are Spencer Smith metal figures from their SYW (?) range
DeleteIsn't Black Powder basing indifferent? Oh well, one reason to rebase is as good as the next.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first came to Nova Scotia I used to rejoice at the slightly warmer winters and cooler summers than what I grew up with in Montreal, but lately, the weather seems to have caught up with me. TG for AC!
They were originally based individually on pennies so I'm multi basing them , BP is very relaxed about basing sizes .
DeleteSeeing Spencer-Smith miniatures is pure nostalgia. My local library in the 1970s had several books showing pictures of them in great looking games. Bought a few figures in about 1978. Even had a brief chat with R.S.S, he seemed like a nice gentleman, I seem to remember he said he was in a wheelchair. This hot weather if hitting me too, but I have constructed a large Russian/American log building, which cleared some spare bits and pieces.

They where originally based individually for Grant's rules , but I'm slowly re-basing them for Black Powder
