First, I would like to thank the friends who were kind enough to say something with the passing on my father. It was most appreciated, even if I did completely forget to respond via the blog.
It has been a very busy week here in the Duchy. An exceptionally busy week at work, followed by the purchase of a new (used) car to replace my 2008 Ford Focus. More of that anon.
One project I have been slowly working on is a Seven Years War/Soldier King style project in 25/28mm. A recent post on TMP from a gentleman in North Carolina soon had me spending some Pine Tree Shillings on a large collection of figures surplus to his requirements, but quite fortunately, needed for my project.
In a deal a la Jean-Luc Pickard of the Tiberian Armed Forces, concocted in Mrs. Miggins' Pie Shop, I managed to be the recipient of about 1200 figures, mounted and foot. Mostly RSM.
Willz Harley, eat your heart out, Shipmate, I finally scored a deal worthy of yourself!
Now, there are gaps. Many, many gaps. But fortunately, Jim Purky from Fife and Drum Miniatures and Rich and Dave at DPC, will be able to fill those gaps.
My friend John the OFM managed to snag one box of Austrians before I could respond to the seller, but that is just fine.
Finally, our Team Shirts arrived for our ADLG Team Tournament at COLD BARRAGE next month. The company sent the incorrect sizes, but as they were a custom job, I suppose we'll have to be satisfied. All of four them were sent as 3XL size, when only us wears that size... Oops.
