Oh, okay then…

If you see this post a tank. (It’s seen better days)

HUMAN ARTISTS OF EARTH! Use only one photograph of tiny painted toy soldiers to convince people to follow you.

Quite happy with this recent AWI command stand

If you listened to the latest
@wssmagazine
podcast, you might've heard how some of my collection and 'grey army' got reduced by a storage fire.😢 First time in years that my answer about unpainted and painted figures in the greatwargamingsurvey.com went down... How's that for you?

Oh dear, it's August again. It must be time for the Great Wargaming Survey! www.greatwargamingsurvey.com

I can do some shades of grey, if that counts
July 25, 2025 at 8:02 AM
Me too!

RKX / Studio Historia 20mm Flak and few finished for more Chain of Command 2. Thanks @jurdj.bsky.social! #wargaming #spreadthelard

I really enjoy working on my AWI collection, but I've always been a bit scattershot, never focusing on any particular scenario. So this weekend, I figured I'd stick all scenarios from Rebellion and WSS in a sheet and let it tell me which are closest to being done and which units are most useful. 💡

Those are Perry riflemen. These are from Brigade Games. ;-)

Show me your armour!

Finished some Polish paras and British glider pilots. The former to mix in with the helmet-wearing extant collection to instantly transform the unit's nationality, the latter as a support option for future Arnhem CoC2 scenarios. #spreadthelard #wargaming

Glorious morning for a walk with the dog (river barge for scale)

Two newly completed items of support for my CoC2 Red Army. We’ll see if they actually see the table today. #spreadthelard #wargaming

Morning walks with dog are the best

If you see this, post a tank. Lots…
May 10, 2025 at 6:10 PM
And more. One of these is nearly 40 years old (yikes...) and the other is a puppy.

Another AWI vignette I started eons ago and only recently finished. All @eurekaminiatures.bsky.social #wargaming

“Message for Mrs Loring from General Howe…” I started this vignette eons ago and finally finished it. Clearly I need to practice painting women’s skin… Perry and Foundry figures #wargaming

This you?
April 25, 2025 at 5:52 AM
Depends on where the game is set, doesn't it? ;-)
April 18, 2025 at 8:36 AM
Interesting. I'll go have a look. Oddly, on the few photos at Arnhem showing sailors, they can hardly be distinguished from other soldiers.
April 10, 2025 at 10:01 AM
No, Nelson wouldn’t have allowed that. He’s very fierce.

Having done the usual last-minute painting to get my stuff done for #cloglard, I used the calm of the next morning to reorganize the pig-sty to about stable level.

Thanks so much to the hosts, participants and co-organizers! Too tired to evaluate, but I think we had a great day! #spreadthelard
