Taking the chance to update whilst Blogger is working …
Mdf house floors drying after the addition of coffee stirrer floors and “ plastering” the interior walls.
Some medieval furniture, resin.
What I use for the interior walls and all my bases.
The flooring begins…
Converting Metal Vendel reivers with Perry plastic parts…
Reivers were a fortuitous purchase on eBay. Great stocky 28mm figures.
Friday’s part two of our game French Ordonnance v Swiss Confederation. The mounted figures come a cropper…
The relentless advance of the Swiss pike blocks….unstoppable!
The Franc Archers, Ordonnance Archers and the CinC ( French King) about to meet their demise.
Archers await the onslaught of the Pikemen.
French cavalry having a go but to little avail. Pike below, just before the crunch…
The Swiss drive the French from the village!
Good game but an utter disaster for my French. The Swiss are very powerful in the dbm rules. In fact l believe not powerful enough. They should be given faster movement to portray them more accurately.
More anon when I can post. Probably some late medieval stuff…
Making buildings - all very satisfying and tactile …
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. A most pleasant task indeed.

Can I ask where you got the furniture from?
ReplyDeleteI got it off Etsy Uk but I can’t quite remember where. I will try and find out…
DeleteIt came from the same seller as my inn signs and sacks etc, also printed.

Wow! Looks like you have been very busy with games and such. The houses and furniture should look great when all finished. On a different note, the temperamental (sp?) of Blogger drives me batty. Hasn't happened in some months on my end, but when it does I could tear my hear out. I've thought about switching platforms, but at this point there is too much content to contemplate migrating it somehow to something more dependable like WordPress. Still, onwards and upwards, eh?
ReplyDeleteKind Regards,

I concur with all you say re blogger but onwards and upwards indeed.

What a prolific week!
ReplyDeleteWell done Alan. Luckily Blogger seems to work again too.
Thanks.
ReplyDeleteIt is working , a bit, for now…

I gave your furniture close scrutiny as I am doing some myself. I'll be interested to see how you do the bottles as i have some of those too.
ReplyDeleteCan you tell us more about how and why you are converting the mounted Reivers?
Stephen
So will I re bottles.
DeleteI am converting the Reivers , mounted this time for a number of reasons - to give individuality to the figures, to add character to them in terms of things carried, because I like longbows and was particularly struck by pictures l saw of Reivers using them on foot and from the saddle. Finally l really enjoy Kitbashing figures making something unique and it is also a chance to use sprue spare pieces. Win win.
