A Tale of Four Gamers - the Sequel

[Ithoriel]

You are lucky he copes with snail mail, he's about 90

Really? I thought he was about ages with me and I'll "only" be 67 this year.

Whatever, he's a nice guy and, in normal times at least, very prompt with despatches of goods. He and I, between us, could talk the hind legs off a whole field full of donkeys

He also stocks a whole lot of stuff you can't get elsewhere.

Be grateful he doesn't insist on bartering pigs and chickens for his stock

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Batch done, bases puttied, new figures added from today's arrival.

Now to start a commission of 6mm Arnheim Paras...
Wish me luck!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

6mm commission assembled, well, assembled until I ran out of bits, only one Battalion...

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Battalion base coated plus 5 Horsa gliders.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Plus 19 1864 Prussians started
And inks on all in batch.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Prussians and paras done, apart from basing.
Also painted another Star Wars Legion figure, apart from basing.

More later...

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Invasion stripes on 5 horsa gliders last night 

[FierceKitty]

Putting together the rules for sealions led by seahorses (as it were).

[O Dinas Powys]

Several odds-and-sods started.
Many odds-and-sods progressed 
No odds-and-sods finished 

Such is life 

[fred.]

Sounds normal!!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

It's taken me three days to paint 5 1:300 Horsa gliders. Invasion stripes, windscreens and hand painted roundals have just about finished me. 

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Base paints and seals done, then spent four hours making labels for the entire airborne division...

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Prepped 80 skeleton archers and have converted 20 so far...

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Up to the highlights, flesh and ink flesh stage.
Details next...

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Two units of skeletal archers done apart from basing.
Dacians just need shields.

Ancient (as if in 1980s) Blue Dragon arrived and assembled onto a base...

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Everything done as far as ink on bases.

Oh, and an ancient (I mean, 1984 counts as ancient, right) blue dragon base coated, inked, highlighted, detailed, finished and base sculpted and inked.

[O Dinas Powys]

Everything done as far as ink on bases.

Oh, and an ancient (I mean, 1984 counts as ancient, right) blue dragon base coated, inked, highlighted, detailed, finished and base sculpted and inked.

I believe "Vintage" is the new ancient...

Bases painted and sealed.

Three regiments of 1809 Hungarian infantry built, plus a base of 1864 Prussians and 2 gun batteries.
