Progress on my fineliner drawing/watercolours of buildings at Butser Ancient Farm. My third attempt at the Mesolithic shelter (still not happy with it), the other two Stone Age buildings, Bronze Age roundhouse, and two Iron Age Roundhouses. Each picture is 120mm x 90mm.

Peninsular War Skirmish at the club last night - 'Sharpe's Situation'. Sharpe and his Spanish allies try to fight their way out of an ambush in a village.

I bought this book about 6 years ago for £3 in The Works. I have only just got round to reading it, but it is an excellent retelling of a period I thought I knew so much more about.

I made this Late Roman officer out of the old Salute St George that someone gave me. He was wearing far too much mail for the period, so I gave him new plastic legs and hands after carving off the original shield. I gave him a sword instead of an axe after I took the picture.

Back in the last naughties I had loads of 10mm early medieval stuff, which I rebased at the start of lockdown in 2020. Now it looks like I can do Hastings using Midgard with both sides around 600 points.

Finished something! A unit of Goth nobles and two Goth heroes from 1898 Miniaturas, and a Late Roman hero made from the Salute St George show figure with new legs and hands.

Played a big game of Valour & Fortitude yesterday. Not my favourite period or ruleset, but it was a good game and our French were victorious against the dastardly Austrian/Russian alliance.
