Rusland Fort

The Ruslanders have built a series of forts along the North West coast of Maple Leaf Country. Their whitewashed timbers stand tall beside forest and sea. Something needs to be done. Calls for an expedition grow in the Maple Leaf parliament. Soon plans are afoot.

Arrivals

Yesterday saw a flurry of activity in the garden to plant more seeds. We all worked together on this. Time also to flick through old copies of the American magazine “Garden Railways “ for inspiration. Some work was done on the Ruslanders but not too much. The weather here in the Duchy is to be colder and unsettled so less reading in the garden or alfresco meals. Often when the beech hedge comes out it gets quite windy and this is happening once more. A couple of arrivals-

I located these old Britains figures who will take their place in the Rusland Army. I got them in some eBay purchase ages ago and they have now found their niche. A repair to one of their rifles and some paint and they will serve . The plastic figure has been pva prepared and started to be painted. He will serve as a scout and guide. 

The courier brought the first of my garden railway purchases yesterday. Here they are having been unpacked. More about them over the coming week.

Today I hope to fight the Bit of Bother in Tradgardistan game  so be ready for a battle report later, probably tomorrow.

Who are they?

I didn’t get round to playing the Tradgardistan game yesterday with one thing and another. I did take the opportunity to assemble fellows from Replica metal soldiers -

Who do you think they are and who will be their allies? Clues are in my labels at the bottom of the post.
