I find that much of what I do these days consists of ancilliary activities in support of my wargaming figures. For example: painting, basing and flocking wall sections and hedges, adding steel paper to the bases of all my WW2 figures and magnetic sheets to their carrying boxes so that the little devils don't move in transit, basing and painting up railway track for all periods from 1850 onwards etc, etc.

Actual figures completed include two brigades of 1866 Austrians, a division of ditto Saxons, WW2 14th Army and Japanese forces, ditto Soviet and German Kursk forces and a whole stack of FOW US mech infantry gear.

But, of course, I don't go out to work any more....

I don't think my wife likes me very much, when I had a heart attack she wrote for an ambulance.

Well just finished off Craig's hill at the weekend and am now busily scratch building a small river for the Colours table. Finished off a Stampede base of sheep this morning, again for Colours, and am onto the main Saxon warband this evening. Nice to be painting after the Summer break 8).

Do sheep really stampede?  :D

Hmmm, I'll do some research Ray and get back to you ;).

I think only herd animals can stampede, a group of sheep is a flock so technically they are classed as birds (isn't the english language mad).

although I have been stampeded by sheep before

Started base colours on 2nd Bavarian Division.  :D
Waiting to do 3rd coat of white, on the airing cupboard! Previous occupants had an interesting shade of beige that is coming right through the first two coats!  ~X(
Had enough of 15mm for a while. Just finished a platoon of US Bastogne Airborne on winter bases. Realised I'm an infantry stand short, but I can swap in a zook instead!  8-}

Looking at a big pile of WW2 Japs, needed for next year's convention game. Ah, well, nose to the grindstone, I suppose....

The things we do for our beloved hobby... ;D

I have a rare Saturday off so have the dining room set up for some more CoC  :-[ and have the beers in the fridge for a post celebratory drinky-poos. Doesn't matter if I lose as its a solo game so win-win situation all round ;)
