Getting back into some regular painting

In the world of house clearing. I have discovered my father’s collection of electrical spares. This is just one of three suitcases full.

For Sale: Hail Caesar: Rome's Conquest of the East Supplement (Brand New). Sale price £18.50

This January I’m launching an online course for people passionate about History. This isn’t a historian telling you things, it’s designed to turn you from a vociferous reader into someone who is starting to think like a historian themselves… Sign up details: introtohistory.eventbrite.com

If you'd like signed and dedicated books in time for Christmas, just write me via Contact on my website. You can order from my whole backlist, and let me know what message you’d like me to inscribe inside it. The cutoff for deliveries is December 17. (USA addresses only).

For Sale: Warlord Games 28mm Caesar's Legions. 72 plastic Roman infantry, including command. Additionally, this bundle contains a pair of Caesarian Roman Officers (one on foot, one mounted). Sale price - £50

For Sale: 1 x 28mm Insurgent Boat with 6 crew (unpainted). Sale price £15.00 including UK postage.

Medbury miniatures New Guinea Campaign from Kickstarter. Bloody Beut. Great service and only 8 days from Aus. The down side the wife saw what I’d spent on the customs note 😬

Fish, chips, cuppa and figures from 🇦🇺

Finally got this lot finished last night. 30 Warlord Paras. Think the cost me £30 a couple of years ago so £1 per mini. They are slightly bigger than Empress Arnhem hero’s who will be performing the command and support options. Hopefully I will have enough rifles to make CoC2 platoon.

I'm selling a bunch of books to make room in the war room, it's a mix of military history and wargaming stuff, as a job lot. Take a look here: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/14694467...

youtu.be/FuzTkGyxkYI. Tonight’s classic track. Sit back and relax raise a glass to all those who were lost at sea.

Anyone interested in this @stormofsteel.bsky.social @sommecourt.bsky.social ??

Having got my painting confidence back time to tackle something a little harder.

Ok hive mind. Anyone recommend a nice table top 2WW sub game

Another game tonight to work on the rules with a lot more aliens. A couple more goes I think and we will have it sorted and can try the next scenario.

Ripley !!!!!

Finally getting round to play Another Glorious Day in the Corps

I’m happy with that. All John Blanche colours from army painter. Did get some issues with wash reactivating the base paint. Anyone had the same issues? Any advice @tabletopminions.bsky.social

So a bit of an emotional moment. First real hobby activity since mum passed away.
