WIP from todays paint and moan...looking to finish 2 french btns

submitted 2 days ago • 0 comments

Finished the Spanish Rgt Irlanda for GdA2. That gives me about 16 Btns of Spanish infantry now, should be enough! These are Micron Miniatures, 28mm self 3D printed, lovely stock figures. Painting Mojo is go.

Started the day at Castle Acre, Norfolk. Climbed the ruined tower and got this beautiful panorama, then when on to the priory. Then went to Natural Surroundings, a wildlife centre in a river valley. Got this panorama of the valley...plus a Giant Marsh Marigold for the new pond.

And while I'm messing around in mud the printer finishes off my Portuguese brigades with command troops and a cheeky artillery battery. Scouts report still no sight of my painting mojo.

Plans for my now 2x28mm brigades of Portuguese (GdA2) are coming along - just the command to print now - then these will be painted up to match my already owned Warlords Portuguese infantry. Flags bought, search parties for my lost painting mojo sent out.

On the hottest day of the year so far...I get to dig the pond further! Its now actually looking like it might be a pond - next thing is to define and dig out the deep and deeper parts.

Someone mucked up my seed planting order. They will be punished.

It is getting deeper I swear! Hard work though, the ground is drying out so fast - could do with a day of rain now please.

Grew chickpeas for the first time last year, saved the seed and now very impressed with the germination - 8 days, 90 plants. Should give enough peas to store for the winter.

First ever game of PBI today on the Sunday Zoom game. More a game of probabilities than tactics perhaps - but still gave a decent enough game. Force ratio equal regardless if you are attacking/defending was odd.
