When Saturday comes

 Yesterday was Saturday and here is a little about what the day held-

The day began finishing off rebasing my Lamming Egyptians. I had already removed them from element bases and now put them on 20 by 30 bases individually. However I ran out of bases…
The chariots look grand. Simple castings but with charm , panoply and purpose.
The command chariot with Pharaoh looks great even with the wee base glued on bigger one.
I even found a couple of chariots awaiting assembly…
Having bought another two packs of bases l found myself still short when l took into account the Sea People l was working on, have to order later today! The is is what I got on my Warbases trip yesterday-
Two packs of 20 by 30, penny sized bases- you can never have enough, a sheet of mdf ponds and a pack of highland cattle. I even started them yesterday-
Note Sea People in progress too. The afternoon ended with another enjoyable meeting of the Virtual Watgames Club where the chat is both inspiring, entertaining and encouraging. A good chance to catch up with fellow gamers and their projects.

  2. Like Donnie I still like the Lamming figuresand remember when they were arguably the best in the market. Tell us what you think of the mdf ponds.
    Meanwhile the Virtual Wargames Club which meets Saturdays from 4.30 to 6.00 p.m. remains open to other wargamers to join us either regularly or just to drop by as a visitor.

    1. Mdf ponds work very well so far, see next post . Robust and easily stored they work for me.

      It does mean I can get a few more figures if needed.

  4. Nice. Always liked Lamming, both figures and people! They had a very solid feel about them. Figures and Bill!

    1. Very true. I vaguely recall Mr Lammings from shows. He was very patient with folk buying lots of loose heads etc.
