54mm/60mm figures . I have quite a few more of 1812 American troops and Native Americans , painted when I can find them.

1/32 or 54mm ACW figures.

Box of 1/32 or 54mm Celtic cavalry, unpainted. Tub of assorted same scale Celts.

A lovely surprise

 Yesterday the postman brought me parcel all the way from Canada. It was from Ross Mc of  https://gameofmonth.blogspot.com/

He had promised me Picts but what l got was even better. Ross’s blogs are some  of my favourites and my particular favourite is his fantasy one https://gatheringofhosts.blogspot.com/

Here he shares battles from the setting he created with wonderful old school miniatures to the fore. Knights, beasts and wildfolk and many many more.

In the parcel were some of the Wildfolk including characters! As they say in football interviews, I was over the moon.

After and before pictures of repairs and additional bases carried out this morning.

I looked out rules and am really looking forward to a game 

Splendid old school cavalry that certainly look like they mean business.

Well wrapped , they had traveled far from their homes ready to meet new opponents and to ally themselves with my Wildfolk. Further introductions to the army and its opponents in the coming days…

Down sizing two Expeditionary figures located

 

Found them ! War of 1812 Expeditionary Forces figures , American militia an£ Native American. These are the ones referred to in the previous post.

Making some kits etc

 Life has been very busy here and has absorbed a great deal of my time as well as my energy . I have however done other stuff.

Thirty Victrix Picts assembled. Instructions were clear and the figures went together nicely.

I had to pop into Edinburgh yesterday for a meeting and went to the National Museum of Scotland for inspiration.

The hobby desk cleared to make way for the sprues and figures. Plastic cement is so much more pleasant to deal with than superglue, no stuck fingers.

Seen on a fence when out walking the other day.

Victrix sprue ready to start. The instructions are colour coded .

That hedgehog notice again.

Frost on the garden some days ago. Frosty, cold weather has given way to rain, rain, rain.

So a brief round up of Duchy life. Yesterday afternoon saw the arrival of a sample pack from Weave of War containing some cloaks . I look forward to trialing them soon.
