On the Boat
Flag Waving
Well go me, I managed to glue the flags to the appropriate flag pole.
So here they are… I initially planned to have two different rectangular flags for the Pike Block. I realised that too late as the rest were glued on. Therefore we have two identical ones.
Off on the boat tomorrow night, so no painting or anything… Back on Monday morning.
Next to do is the flock.
Training Day
Well today I was running a pile of training. I didn’t feel the urge to paint anything but I did cut out lots of Florentine flags for the militia.
I have to summon the energy to find the PVA and the get them glued onto the miniatures… You will find out soon if I manage!
A Night Off
Well this evening I was absolutely knackered, didn’t sleep well the night before and as such couldn’t face anything. The family was back too with 101 invertebrates. So I perused their purchases.
Kindness
What’s the kindest thing someone has ever done for you?
Well there is quite a list, but one of the nicest things was way back in 2013. I was a head teacher (Principal) of a small school and used role playing games as a way to support/improve writing. The kids were so proud of their work,as was I, that we made a display of it. I moved on, but the display remained… The kids wouldn’t let it be taken down. Sadly the school had to close and I got a delivery… The kids wanted me to have the whole display.
I still have it in the loft.
I Love Online Training Videos
Not something you generally hear, but when said videos are in your own home then it gives you the opportunity to move your hands whilst listening..and to be fair it was interesting stuff. So much so I told my line manager it was worth a watch…
Tadaaa…. All done apart from the flags.
Here they are … Blending in with the rest of the throng.
The cultists carried on getting their hand me down paint. I shall hopefully get on with them tomorrow.
Painting Again
As both sets were undercoated then whatever went on the militia went onto the cultists… Hopefully I will get more done tomorrow.
Spot the AI
The ACW’s first example of self propelled artillery… Who knew!
Hobby Time
Share a hobby you’ve picked up recently — what got you into it?
I suppose my Oil pastel scribbles would count here
Why did I start… Was away on training and on a whim bought some cheap oil pastels and a pad of black paper. Haven’t done any for a while…must carry on…
The other thing is maps…drawing them…
Each town on the large map is drawn too.
Why maps. Well during long COVID I lost my fine motor skills among other things and drawing random maps was easier than the written word.
Very Little Done
Today was the day I was going to get the militia a long way done… Ha Ha!
Dad’s taxi, helping mother in law and sleeping in caused my plans to falter.
On the upside… They are now in the house.
Tomorrow is another day lol.
