Historical wargamer/model builder. Lots of Wars of the Roses, medieval, English Civil War & terrain. No politics. 🎥📺 Run a YouTube channel on it, when I can gather the energy.
Messing about with AI a lot recently with no particular goal/task. Just trying to understand how it works and what it can/cannot do, to see what the implications might be - good and bad. I worked on asking it to create an image of a 15th century English valley. Thoughts?

Richard, Duke of York (Father of Richard III) 1411–1460.
By claiming the throne he is arguably the spark that ignited the Wars of the Roses (though his claim was strong). Opposing Lancastrian Henry VI, briefly served as Lord Protector, died at the Battle of Wakefield.

Next up - these wonderfully detailed and dramatically-posed ECW Bloody Miniatures. I’ve based them singularly so they can make officers/characters for the army. Also polishing off 16 Perry musketeers.

Today I went exploring to tabletop games centre Lead Belt Gaming Arena in #Nottingham. Nice set up, welcoming and they have a forthcoming Baron’s War tournament I’ll perhaps drop in on.

Keep thinking about the remarkable Stokesay Castle model I saw at Partizan. Made me realise I need one or two bigger status building pieces in my terrain collection.

Nothing like a Partizan to send a man screaming back to the painting desk….
