Oh yes and my general ramblings as well!

Here Goes!


Due to lack of funds and there is just so much I need to buy.  I decided to venture into the world of eBay selling.
Yes slightly confusing at first, but I muddled through.
Ok so what am I selling? Well having read that an old Citadel/GW minature sold for around £100. I suddenly, in the dim, dark recesses of my memory seeing such an item. After much searching,pilling up of boxes to get to the one box I needed (at the bottom). I found it!
A couple of drunken Dwarfs


Here they are on eBay:

Another seller has the same miniature for £130! 
As I need the cash and don't think I'll get that much got it, decided to put it on for much less as a buy now. Have also put it under auction as well.  We'll see what happens. Have already marked what I want to buy with the funds!!
Now where's that Dwarf bugmans cart I have.

Absolutely 'Blast-Tastic!'


Just like to mention a new wargames show that's coming to Bristol, UK.  
'BLAST-TASTIC!'.  A Sci-Fi wargames show.  
It's scheduled for 04/10/2014 - NOTE: Next year.


Take a look at the blog site to see how it's shapening up.

I will hopefully be putting on a 
participation game if there is 
enough space to squeeze me in!

Any way, I will be there no matter what.

Good luck to Michael in his new endeavour.

Moo good to just throw away

After eating a frozen yogurt (an acquired taste) I was left with this flexible but quite sturdy plastic top.

Penny for size (yes I know dear I haven't made the bed yet this morning!)
 Now much to my Wife's continued annoyance I'm never one to throw things away.  With the inspirational though of "ah I could use this for ............ ".

So here's the dilemma and challenge for all you keen wargames terrain bloggers. What the hell could I do with it?

Answers on a post card or just add your suggestions in the comment box.

By the way nothing that involves an excess amount of discomfort and K - Y jelly will be excepted.

A bun in the oven?

As mentioned in a previous article - Here - I have been slowly building up an old  west/mexican town.
Which is nearly complete, apart from one building I must obtain from Frontline,   FLAT ROOF BUNGALOW WITH THATCHED PORCH.



Which I will use as a Marshall's offfice.

While painting a donkey powered grain mill by Arthitecs of War - See here.

Along with the millers scratch built dwelling (made from a card craft box - as seen in another wargamers blog, which I can't remember who and where).


 
I felt that an end product was needed, yes bread. Therefore needed a bread oven something like this.


Ever faithfull 'Milliput' to action and turned out this.



On the right is the wooden door and to left are to loaves of freshly backed bread, yum!
Inside believe me are glowing embers.
Not to happy with colour, may have to re-paint for the third time!
