The rather odd leather case in his hand felt heavy with parchment,ink,sand and quills not to mention the outsized egg. At last he turned the corner into a narrow passage even grimmer than the previous one.

Northish Westish 1885ish
Last summer my eldest and I painted some 54mm old Britains figures. She added detail and faces on them for me. Of late I have fancied giving them an opponent in the form of Metis and Indians- a vague 1885 North West Rebellion vibe if you like.
