Austrian grenadiers done. There's still a lot to go in this project....

Finally got round to getting To the strongest last night and I am impressed. Had a talk with the author on messenger as I wanted to know how  soon a 2nd edition would be appearing and whether I should wait.

During the conversation he mentioned he was in the the first steps of a WSS version .

Now to decide in squares or hexes for the game
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!

They do look a good set don't they? I'm going with 15cm squares to begin with.

I was thinking of going 2mm and using 80* 40 on 10mm grid. But will probably end up with 10 or 15 as I have those already

I have gone 15cm as most of the figures I will be using will be 15mm. I will also be using my 10mm WWI on that size for Square Bashing.

Yesterday.....Puttied 30 werewolves on to corks......Spent what liked seemed ages reaming one of the original tigers down to almost a 'dolly'.......Got a reasonable way through rebuilding it. Left a 'thin neck', so I can relatively easily vary the positions of the heads on the new versions. (That's after this one has gone up to PD Towers, been pressed, and the mould spun umpteen times...and the 'super dollies' returned.)

Just had time to convert a couple of the werewolves, as the putty had fully set on the corks.

Today....
Hopefully finish off the 'tigger' and get through as many werewolf conversions as possible.
Also have to check that the standing Sam Ape archer dollies have reached Leon, so I can have those back 'as soon as.'

The Warband project, of redoing the original list of armies, nears completion. #:-S

He can file a tiger down to a wolf!? I must get more leeks and coal and Dylan Thomas in my lifestyle!

Rubbish day, today.  X_X X_X X_X

Spent as long helping sort the MIL's 'electrics' out.....With some proper electricians, I hasten to add. (Bless 'em for coming out so soon)....Then helping sort out the pump on her mini septic tank, which is where the fault actually was..... (Thanks to that chap too, for turning up this evening.....didn't finish until eight.)....I'm cream crackered.

Didn't get to look at the tigger.....But did manage eight werewolf conversions.
I DO hope I have an uninterrupted  day tomorrow............PER..LEASE.

Kitty !.......A FILE ?......I could make a wolf out of a hefferlump with the Dremel.....But it would be rather a waste of time, and effort.
I could far more easily make some modern British Infantry out of the Aztec greens, if you'd like me to.

Your MIL is electric?  RoboMIL? There's a though to conjure with.

Hope you have a better day today.

Please make the tigger like Tigger out of Winnie the Pooh.

Just PM'd you, Nobby !

I hope I have a better day too !

Electric MIL ?......Hmmm....Maybe that's the problem.  :-\ She's on too low a voltage, and her hard drive has been almost completely wiped clean......Her random access memory is definitely faulty.  =) X_X

Boxed off the last of the 3mm Confederates, completed the Peter Pig farm and got the first Union troops up on the painting rods and undercoated them. Quite pleased with how the Stars 'n Bars and red Arkansas flags turned out on the last of the Confederates.
