“ If doesn’t come naturally leave it…” Al Stewart

 These words from the “ Year of the Cat” LP came into my mind yesterday as things weren’t going well with the Zinnfiguren. So l have put them aside to pick up later.

Remembering what Mark M of T said about picking things up in shops when you see them, I picked up these in The Works yesterday. They will come in handy for my Snowball games and perhaps to do some toboggan racing too.

Having set aside the zinnfiguren l went to the lead mountain so seek something out to work on. I found these WW1 German heavy and light machine guns plus sniper made by Great War Miniatures. They are excellent sculpts with loads of detail and equipment and will “ beef up” my Duke of Brunswick faction for  A Very British Civil War-

Later on yesterday l undercoated them and applied the basing Vallejo Earth texture on some bases.

Having watched one of my favourite Ealing films on tv last night l couldn’t resist finding a spare vbcw civilian and giving him a Burgundian flag l had lying around from the Perry plastic figures I was working on recently.

Today is Claymore and I hope to be going. No real intention to buy anything but might pick up some dismounted ACW Union cavalry to go with the 24 mounted ones l painted recently.
