After a bit of a model & painting hiatus I'm starting a new project, the Greco-Persian and Peloponnesian Naval Wars

I've ordered quite a few 2mm laser cut plywood galleys from LaserCast in Australia :)

PS I should get the few WWI extras I'm painting for Pierre the Shy done before the galleys arrive :!!

Bases for this project arrived on Friday, had a productive weekend adding rare-earth magnets and filling remaining holes in the bases :)

They will need a light sand to remove any excess filler before galleys are based :-B

LaserCast should have made a start on cutting the galleys so they will hopefully arrive soon :-w

Created scenarios for Sybota 433 BC & Arginusae 406 BC. Almost completed the scenario for Salamis 480 BC

Finished the few WWI extras I'm painting for Pierre the Shy  #:-S

Also, two evenings gaming and a video chat with our usual group of gamers

Overall a very enjoyable and productive weekend :)  :)  :)
