Sunday and a monochrome side project

 Sunday was most enjoyable with the pizza oven performing very well. Good food and company ( not to mention quite a bit of sunne ) made it a festive occasion.


A early morning selfie with the hat that had been decorated for the school royal celebration of ten years ago.


Later in the day , post visitors, I worked on a wee side project of a monochrome nature. Figures and scenery are all monochrome. I am going to adapt the rules in the picture below to represent urban unrest in an 18th century city. This will be a small project played solo on a small board. Hopefully it will involve different factions in the city as they battle for control aided and abetted ( sometimes thwarted) by civilians. The factions  include a gang of theatre performers (notice the hobby horse figure) and the Night Watch to name but too.. Other ideas include thieves, courtesans, innkeeper, local politicians, guild members and the like.

    Looks like a delightful way to spend a day, and an interesting new miniature adventure.
