Really not much to say at the moment...
Anyone else not got a conversation in them at the moment?
:P
I know my parcel's just arrived at Pendraken Towers. :-bd
Someone with a surname beginning with P signed for it !!
(That's a relief..I couldn't insure it for as much as I wanted !!)
Cheers - Phil. :)

I am converting Gush Renaissance army lists to Furioso. Tedious, but necessary given the limited list available, and their lack of a number of troop types
Am currently in the middle of a 28mm Bolt Action army. It's not of no interest, I guess, but it's the wrong scale & the wrong rules :D
Me I'm working on some 15mm modern British and 28mm Medievals and Fantasy
We're actually playing a 15mm Carlist War game, my mate's entire collection adds up to two corps on each side at 1:20 ratio. :o
Haven't lifted a brush for a month. :(
Out at 6am, back home at 7pm ... wash, food, bed, repeat.
Home working! That would be nice.
I no loner have a sling on my right arm.

Go away...at the moment I'm cursing the complete ****** who decided that the Czapka was a clever design.
It's taking me longer to make one of these at 30mm 'scale' than it takes me to make a new 10mm figure from scratch.
Cheers - AAAARGH ! :'( :'( :'(

Cant have you feeling good Phil, have to make you miserable again :d :d
Hmmm ... he's always quite happy when I talk to him. :-\
May be something to do with you?
Just imagine if... having sculpted a really nice Czapka, (or other!)... the customer says... "But I thought they were Covered on Campaign?" ! ;)
One of the reasons why I liked the Old Peninsula range figs, was the Campaign dress option for French Shako. Much easier to paint up. Not sure, but have read that many 1815 troops had covers on... but impossible to verify... you cannot rely on paintings as they would show soldiers 'in all their Glory'.
I've been sent a piccy, Keith. :P
There is NO cover.......the bits and bobs are a piece of wee wee to do, once It's done...It's simply trying to get the shape and size right......****ing thing. :'(
No wonder I cut myself so often.....I keep having to put brand new scalpel blades on one of the handles.

Normally, QUITE, is about right, Nobby.
I'll catch you really soon....before my poor old brain implodes.
Cheers - Phil :)

I do colourful troops, and to hell with reality. Reasons I won't do 1813, all the same greatcoat, different flag.
Greatcoats? I always thought 1813 campaign took place in the middle of the year

Is that why we won't be getting ww2 Polish cavalry in 10mm any time soon, as to do a complete range we would need cavalrymen both mounted and dismounted in Czapka as well as the Adrian helmet.
I'll put the request in now. Still waiting for Wombles with AK's and armoured ducks !

It might seem an odd thing to say, Mark, but I'm pretty sure I'd find Czapkas much easier to do at small scales.
At '30mm' mistakes in the shape are far more noticeable......Getting it to look 'symmetrical' is a sod of a job. ;)
Cheers - Phil. :)

We're not gaming the troubles* are we?
* One of the paramilitaries (can't recall which) was nicknamed the Wombles due to their taste for fur hooded parka jackets.
Just spotted that the Telegraph is agitating against the Wombles (Too woke or something).
One wonders what's in the fumes emitted from Victoria Station.
Bloody Wombles, tree hugging nature lovers. If the plebs reduce, reuse and recycle them how do we sell them new stuff to keep our profits up?!
Also at least one of thems a foreigner and likely here illegally.
Plus they never have proper jobs!
Do I sound like the Telegraph yet? I'm not sure I can dial the frothing up high enough...

I did that for Warmaster and Pike and Shotte, I really like those lists

Ooh, what? Not heard of these. A quick search brings up this (http://www.wargaming.co/recreation/details/articles/ggarmylists.pdf). Is this what you're on about?

Ta. Now to work out what all these abbreviations mean. Most seem fairly obvious, and I have a copy of WRG Ancients around here somewhere which should help.
I would draw the members attention to the comic title (at the bottom of the strip).

Where are my Poles now?

Ta again. These two were difficult, especially as HCm is Heavy Camelry in WRG Ancients, and I was struggling to work out how the Hussites would field such a unit.
I've lived among the Czechs. Don't underestimate them. They can do anything except cook.
