All,

Time to unveil the Christmas presents!  I primed them black the day after Christmas, but they sat in the garage until today.  I finished off rebasing my late war Germans then decided to go for it.  So, much to the wife's chagrin, I sat and painted my presents up, and voila, they're finished!

So, what did I get?


JR Minis 15mm terrain:
Italian Village Ruins w/Vintner House
Italian Village Ruins w/Church

I'd been eyeing these for a long time, dating back to when they were first released, then through JR Miniatures' transition, the after that waiting for them to come back into the inventory, then finally  pulling the trigger.  And boy am I glad I did!


With a Takara 1/144 Panther and one of my just finished late-war Germans rifle stands.

We did a game like a few years back where every model the Germans placed on was a Tiger until a veteran unit spotted it
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Thanks guys! 

I'm really happy with them.  As Peter points out, a bit expensive, but it's a whole lot of buildings, and I think when I pair them with the buildings I already have, I should never need more.

And how did you guys miss the large, yellow tank amidst all the off-white buildings?

Yeah, me too. And I understand that UK customs duties tend to make those sort of imports unrealistic.

Nevertheless, great job, Jack.  :-bd
