Update

R
Life has been quite stressful of late and remains so . Sometimes l feel like a soldier on a range walking forward and firing at targets as they pop up. Successfully sometimes, sometimes not.  My hobby seems more butterfly flitting even than usual. I have not felt the vibe but carried on. It is not helping that Blogger only allows me to upload photos at random. One in thirty or forty attempts work. So annoying as blogging has become at the core of my hobby.
The mdf house has floorboards, plaster walls and is moving forward. I have based some figures on clear bases which look good equally in doors and out.
A kickstarter arrived from the States and looks interesting but have really given the rules set the attention they deserve. Looking forward to trying though.

Going to try and clear the table for a game when l can be bothered. Think a wee game will enthuse me…
Painting some Night Watch figures and opponents, note clear bases . 
Furniture moving forward at a snails pace but l am very pleased with it…

That was the week that was in the Duchy of Tradgardland.

  1. I hope things take a better turn soon.
    It's not a ruleset that I was aware of but it's not the setting for me. I avoid America mainly because I don't want another set of scenery to make.
    My painting of furniture is also progressing, as are too many other projects.
    What would we be without butterflies.

    1. Thanks!
      One building and fence would suffice to give colonial vibe.
      Glad the furniture is progressing well.

  2. Bloody Hollow looks interesting! Hope things perk up soon... I've been in a similar painting doldrum since last Summer and it can be hard to shake off

  3. I hope you'll recover your god spirits soon. As someone who only comments I find blogger frustrating due to the difficulty of leaving comments sometimes, particularly on sites where I've previously commented.
    I must take a look at Bloody Hollow, I like the boardgame A Touch of Evil which draws a lot of inspiration from the Johnny Depp movie, Sleepy Hollow. You can play it solo / coop as well as competitively and the rules are easy to grasp.
