Very nice looking models but I already have several 6mm BMP regiments hiding in my cupboard that are seldom used and I have probably had far too many "momentary lapses in sound judgement" already this year for Mrs Shy's liking  ;) 

.....but its only 3 months till 2023!  ;D

Oh bless you!

When it comes to Pendraken, I slip more than a man with an inner ear problem, on a wet ice-rink and wearing nylon socks soaked in melted butter.

And he's drunk.

I plan for one order per month. I give myself a budget figure which is about as realistic as if it had been set by Kwasi Kwarteng. 


13th July - planned monthly purchase - Danish Napoleonics
16th July - Wow! Cold War! US & Soviets, please. May as well chuck in some more Danes as well.
18th July - Ummm ... you know the Napoleonic Poles that you finished? With just a few more packs ... Oh and chuck in some cavalry for the Danes
28th July - Birthday gift voucher. Mustn't buy anything that I've bought before. Time to start on Imperial Romans!
30th July - I think I'm running out of round bases. Better get some Roman archers and cavalry to pad out the order.
12th August - Planned monthly order - Finish off the Danish cavalry. Oh and some more Romans 'cos why not?
16th August - I need a M60 machine guns for the US infantry. Could do with some more Soviet riflemen. Oh, and officers. Oh, get a BMP as well - just to see what it looks like.
18th August - Whilst looking through the ancients, one realises that one is quite short of Hoplites. And peltasts. Better get some, 'cos you're gonna finish off the Danes and then be on an Ancients run.
22nd August - Oh! We're a bit short of Roman officers - better get some. If we're getting a BMP, better get an M113 as well, and whilst there an M60 would be useful. To examine, you understand.
11th September - planned monthy purchase - Roman auxiliaries and more M60s.
21st September - well why don't you have Cold War British? Better remedy that!
23rd September - For Shame (1)! Some French style cassions, please? Did the Danes use them? Welllll ... sort of, but they'd be good for the Bavarians and Wurttembergers you "finished" months ago. 
8th October - For Shame (2)! Those British need some Chieftains and FV432s - panic buy them NOW!
14th October - planned monthly purchase - Finish off the Danish infantry (again) and some of those nice new Peninsular buildings 
15th October - Well, air support is very important. Why have Stingers, Blowpipes and Strelas if you don't have anything for them to shoot at? Better get some Raiden ground attack aircraft, oh, and finish off the M113 and M60 purchases.

I prefer to think that my frequent but pitiful additions to the Pendraken coffers are used solely for the purposes of ensuring Milady is regularly presented with bouquets of seasonal blooms and maintained in delicate morsels as dictated by her fancy. 

I mean, it's no more than  she is due.  :-[

Quote from: fsn on 15 October 2022, 11:21:13 AM@Leon, will they be resin or metal?

All metal castings, we're using 3D printed masters rather than traditional scratch-built models but still the same end result.

My what?!  Adele's car broke down before the summer so I'm having to drive the Pendraken van as my daily ride, which isn't much fun!  It's a bit of a big lump, so it doesn't like car parks or small roads and it does 0-60 in about 3 weeks...

I am not convinced that any member of this forum can claim "Sound judgement" as one of their virtues. :D
