What Are You Doing This Weekend?

Sorry, Kerry. John is quite right--the figures are AB Saxon gunners, I have only painted them as 1809 Hesse-Darmstadt. AB never made bona-fide Hesse-Darmstadt figures, and I wasn't up to Green-Stuff conversions for all 12 plumes, etc., so I settled for just did a brush-job. :(

Thanks for the ruleset my esteemed Count, I shall see if I can persuade my chaps to give them a try at our pre-SELWG game.

Purps, The metal Wodensfeld 20mms are nice figures with a huge range of infantry. As the guy who did them has passed away, there will be no artillery or cavalry. If you're interested, I can give you the new manufacturers address. I am also thinking of supplementing my infantry with the Zvesda GNW Russians. http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/Review.aspx?id=1151 I've seen the Wodensfeld miniatures, they are gorgeous - I'm very tempted myself. I have that Zvedza set in the cupboard to - so little time.. :)

Donald - I would be interested in knowing the current sellers of Wodensfeld. I correponded with the guy back in the early '90s and he had some first-rate ideas for future ranges. Sadly, lost contact and had no idea he had died. I have some of the French infantry and they are lovely casts and he had the dedication to do all ranks, including the NCOs.

Hi, Ronan, John Cunningham: he's a mate. CunnJoh@aol.com I've finished painting one figure (as a test) & I'll post it soon. donald

Thanks - I take it he's based in Oz?

Nope, he's one of us, sort of (English but lives in CynAnwyl) donald

Fri: Dunno nothing planned, have rediscovered the Evil that is console gaming. Started the GOW2 game from the beginning again.:eng: :eng: Sat: Running a marathon in the morning then painting my gates in the afternoon. In the evening is a work braai with my wife's colleagues - as much fun as a root canal with no anisthetic! :head: :head: Sun: Training run then give my gates a second coat of paint. An IABSM game in the afternoon with a mate.

Hoping to finish 7 figures tonight and then another 5 or 6 over the weekend, but time will be short as (a) off to buy baby buggy etc all day tomorrow and (b) off to buy tiles and stuff for bathroom re-fit all day on Sunday. Just 8 weeks to go now.... :spook:

I'm hoping to find the time to finish painting in the Sudan bases. There are five leaders and 12 bases of OR's to do. I've started painting a few more Sudan figures so might do a bit more on them as well. Flags will be next week. However family might visit this weekend in which case I won't get much done. We'll see.

I'm hip-deep in Old West stuff... I've been replacing my Old, Old West collection (Warrior Miniatures & Tabletop Miniatures) with Grenadier & bits from Foundry & Dixon, but it's been sidelined for ages. Then somebody arranged a game of 2HW's 'Blaze of Glory', so it kind of kick-started the painting... cracking on nicely. Of course, I discovered loads more stuff I actually need, & had to order...

University in Birmingham for me on Saturday, the first real day of my MA Course. Looking forward to that hugely. :clap: Sunday my mother is arriving on her broomstick for lunch. :takecover: Somewhere amongst all that I am attempting to format LFS III for the printer. Rich
