Vibe

 My enthusiasm for my current projects ( Hawaiians , Craigshire and VBCW Welsh)seems to have withered on the hobby vine. Knowing my enthusiasm will return at some point (plastic storage drawers opened and the work restarted ) I put things aside and looked for a wee hobby palette cleanser in the shape of 54mm figures and a pig-

Being lying around for ages. Funny thing is before I wargamed I painted 54s , often Rose Miniatures, all long gone. I got bored with the figures as they just sat on shelves. Got the Rose figures at the Toy Tub.




Filling the cracks  left by my bad assembly work.

A couple of old eBay Britains in the need of TLC…
On Saturday l saw an inspiring exhibition at the local museum/ library/ gallery 

Beautiful art on display, well worth looking out for…

    I also bought some Rose figures from Toytub. The only one I can remember is a Thracian peltast.

      I didn’t have many but recall a Gallic chief in particular.

    I recall the Toytub (Raeburn Place?) from infrequent visits to Edinburgh - got a very few Hinchcliffe figures there one time I believe. I used to drool over the Rose 54mm figures in Military Modelling but being around 12-14 years old, plastic Tamiya were more in my price range!

    It was indeed Raeburn Place. A shop of happy memories especially the big cardboard drawers brought forth enabling browsing and rummaging…
