A Tale of Four Gamers - the Sequel

[DecemDave]

Queen Margaret is being converted from a nondescript plastic railway figure more easily than I feared.

Will you be modelling her astride or on a chair?  And if the latter will it be the Anne of Bohemia or the Catherine de Medici type?

[FierceKitty]

Standing; legs on the original were apart, but have undergone glue treatment to give her a bit of a "Mortitia Addams in a hennin" look.

[DecemDave]

The mere sight will make her enemies lose their heads.   

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Empress Dragoons done.
Others underway

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

3 more units of Dragoons and 2 units of Chasseurs a Chevel finished this afternoon.

[FierceKitty]

The mere sight will make her enemies lose their heads.   

That's the idea. But, regrettably, you can't trust the Shakespearean version as history. At the time of the battle of Wakefield, she wasn't even in England, so the scene with York certainly didn't happen.

[FierceKitty]

At the battle of Tewksbury, the Duke of Somerset ignored the forces threatening his flank, trusting to Lord Wenlock to cover his attack. Wenlock clearly rolled a 1 on control and did nothing, and Somerset was flank attacked and broken, destroying the last hope that Henry VI would remain king. After the battle, Somerset angrily asked the equivalent of "Where were you, buddy?", and without waiting for Wenlock to reply whacked him one with his axe....

(Baggage element)

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Two units of 6mm Hussars done tonight.
Just generals to do tomorrow and that army pack will be over. 

[FierceKitty]

Until my next order gets here - and it won't be this week, which is Songkran, the Thai new year (sawatdee phimai , everyone!) - I'm reduced to making stakes for my archers and quasi-Shakesperean vignettes for my WotR baggage trains.

Through Leon.....Started on another largish project for the chap I did all the 'Flodden' figures for.

Cheers - Phil.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

After finishing those last 6mm French, which really sapped my will to paint, I spent Thursday night, Friday evening (after a nap to recover from the previous day's jab) and the remains of yesterday (after catching up with mum) building the next batches:
2 units of 10mm Jinettes and a unit of knights for Lee's Spanish.
Two units of 28mm goblin wolf riders and a unit of scouts for Dragon Rampant.
Sand and pva'd two other units for the Sanish and two Legion characters.
Also started fettling the next batch of WW2 6mm Airlanding for Clem.
Nice to have a quiet patch

[FierceKitty]

Longingly watching the postbox.

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

You need the patince of a stalking cat Alexander

[FierceKitty]

Hmmmm....

[Techno II]

You need the patience of a stalking cat Alexander

Cheers - Phil.
