Courier dropped off the order to my door this afternoon....only 6 days from door to door :)

Paul has just dropped off all my 1914 figures in return for all his 1917 stuff.

I think you could say that he's rather happy ;)

Thanks to everyone at Pendraken once again  :-bd
Though much is taken, much abides; and though
we are not now that strength which in old days
moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are.

As Peter said the "package" arrived a day early so after a quick visit to his place I laid out about 2.5kg of lead  :) :) :)

Happy, who me  ;)

Now all I need to do is finish basing the last of Peter's 1914 troops and finish painting that AWI Militia brigade  O:-)

I suppose sorting out some of the new arrivals won't hurt  :d ;D

Away in Christchurch this long weekend so visited the Air Force Museum which has a special WWI exhibit focusing on the contibution of the people of Canterbury to NZ's war effort. A well done exhibit with some interesting photographs of Kiwis in Sinai and Palestine :)

Definitely some useful photos and exhibits at the Wigram Air Force Museum.





Even some direct evidence for the BW25 Heliograph teams I ordered :) :) Will have to replace some of the crew with ME4 Dismounted Australian cavalry or similar to add that scruffy look

I found this picture and it's caption particularly poignant



"To Mother from your loving son Mark... This is a photo of the platoon I belong to, we had it taken before the Messines Battle, there are only 12 left."

Nice WW1 pictures Paul......that Mustang pilot looks vaguely familiar too  ;)
