ECW project - For King and Parliament

[FierceKitty]

I have memories of seeing a lot of wooden farm implements in folk museums; wooden shovels were shod with thin iron strips where they'd need to handle impact and friction, which must have made good sense when metal was expensive.

Picked up the last 3 pike units from Paul but I haven't had time to do much with them yet beyond painting the bases and doing the labels.

Unfortunately a few of the Scots musketeer figures I have used (not Pendraken ones) suffer from "weak knees" and brittily snap off the feet and base from the rest of the figure dispite careful handling during the basing process. Luckily I have a few painted spares left over and the vast majority of the figures are fine.    

I did finally finish my Alford write up so I sent that off to DGuy for his comments in due course.

The Ozzies have been having a hell of a time of it with heat and bush fires

Hopefully it turns out to be not as bad as predicted

[Techno]
