Yes I'm attempting it next year !

 

Me and Charlie will be having a go again at this next year . Charlie (the dog) is coming up 11 next year and is slowing down a bit (and is VERY resistant to walking in the rain - so am I ) so it will be a greater challenge - we will see how we do !.

A Christmas game

 

Here we see 'A' pondering his next move in our Christmas game . We used my Wofun 2D SYW collection and the Honours of War rules, and I was soundly beaten using my Cavalry too aggressively , sadly as normal I forgot to take some more photos as the action grew hot .

I got these two books for Christmas , I've only dipped into them so far , but both look jolly interesting .

Old dog and New tricks.

 

Here we see the author resplendent in his new 'hobby apron' ! , after ruining numerous tee shirts , trousers and shirts with glue.and paint , Santa Claus (my dear wife) brought me it for Christmas with strict instructions that it must be worn on ALL occassions ! . 

PS the fleece is another present from Santa as well !

A Merry Christmas to all in Bloggerland.

 

Thousand miles in 23 completed !

 

Well with todays trudge through some very soggy and muddy fields, me and Charlie completed our "Walk a Thousand Miles" Challenge ! . I will be signing up for next year's one in the New Year .

Toy Soldiers in Art (?) No. 11

 

Found on the William Britians Facebook Group . The West Somerset Yeomanry learn the rudiments of scouting with the aid of  Britains figures , taken from the 'Navy and Army Illustrated' 1898 . The chap on the bottom right looks disappointed that he can't shoot the figures with his Martini Henry ! . (click on photo to enlarge)

On the painting tray at the moment.

 

Trying to clear up some loose ends on the painting table before the Christmas celebrations . There are some 40mm Irregular figures and explosions which have been in my 'to do' box for a while and the couple of 54mm Lifeguards that need repairing and painting . With the bout of wet weather this week I should be able to get quite a bit done , ..............
