Yes indeed, look at me go…
Basically all that is left are the three guns at the back as well as the weapons and feathers.
Sorry John I forgot the silver paint again. I did bring gold though (I don’t know why either) I can only think I looked at the silver and picked up the ‘Glittering Loot’…
I have now added it to the box with the miniatures…no excuse tomorrow
Hopefully I will get these finished then move onto the Militia soon.
This evening I worked on the cavalry and the special characters…
Pretty much done apart from the weapons and ostrich feathers. Still toying with red and white on the feathers. There are three feathers so I was thinking two red and one white.
I really should have done more, but am grumping that I am back to work tomorrow…in reality I forgot to bring the silver from the other room and can’t be arsed to go back through 😂.

Apologies for the self promotion… Actually I must get back to adding more to it.
Yes, I actually managed to do a bit of painting this evening…
I got most of the horses done, well the main body colour. I also got the firearms done. I did have a bloody long sleep into this afternoon. Woke up at 15:45 lol.
I hope to carry on tomorrow… I am determined to get these and the militia finished before I start on the Bolt Action stuff.
What is your favorite quote?
I haven’t really…
I am struggling to think of anything…I will have to go with this one.
“Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, you’ll be a mile away from them, and you’ll have their shoes.”
This is the Joke one I used with my classes in school…
“If at First you don’t Succeed…Cheat!”
Not really a quote, but I like it!
Safe and Sound. Yes we made it back to home. Sat on my sofa drinking Cappuccino. I will get on with the Florentine forces later on today (if I don’t have a little sleep).
My son is already building his Tiger…he went straight off to his desk and started as soon as he walked through the door.
If you had to give one life-changing tip, what would it be?
What tip could I give that wouldn’t sound like some form of life coach guru…
So digging deeply as I can I have come up with a little gem.
‘Be Yourself and don’t be a shithead.’
If you ever worry that you are not doing things right…Just remember ‘Not Everyone could have been Kung Fu Fighting!’ it’s a lie that has become famous. I mean even if they were, extremely unlikely, were they all using expert timing? Hmmmm. What no beginners at all?
Wellll, that’s us back on the boat and waiting for departure…still got an hour and a bit to go.
Got to come up with a sneaky plan to counter this monstrosity…
I was thinking of making minefields, anti tank ditches or just not turning up.
Somehow my son managed to persuade me to purchase the 8th army to fight his Afrika Corps. Well I did get it and the support box for £80 in the bring and buy. Both are unopened so I really can’t complain. Sadly I had to buy the Churchill full price. Oh yeah of course he picked up a Tiger to go with his starter box. A MK3 and a Tiger plus an 88mm flak against my 6lb AT gun and my 25lb artillery.
Pete’s Flags was there so got another set of 15mm flags for the Italians… This time Sforza.
Finally I picked up the Bushido RPG for a fiver.
The things I really wanted I didn’t get and I ended up coming back with stuff I never expected. Even the flags weren’t the ones I really wanted.
Hey ho such is a Wargames Show…
Well that’s it, we are waiting for our Uber to get back to the bus station…
I remembered to take a few photos of some of the games to prove I was there lol
