Always keep an eye out in the pound shops for useful modeling stuff, makeup brushes are really good for dusting and dry brushing,
I have been buying UHU glue there for several years, sadly the tube has gone a bit smaller but still good value at a £1.

So all those people who ask in pound shops "how much is this?" maybe are not as stupid as they sound.......

Mark Copplestones toy soldiers are half price but I'm still resisting. I would still need too many that I'm prepared to get to put on a game I'd want to play and no one else is biting with them and possibly rightly so. I have enough shiny.

Sadly Drum & Flag are closing down. He was my usual go to for all the 1/32 stuff me and Tim have done over the years. Couldnt resist a full box of Esci 1/35 British Paras in his sale. Absolute bargain at £7.50. Though I now have to track down some Germans but it'll give me some sport on the 2nd hand and ebay circuits.

I'm hoping to shift some quality tat next weekend at Battleground to be able to add to the Dark Ages stuff.

In Dacian folklore/mythology the Werewolves are good guys it might be where we get the whole Vampires Vs Werewolves schtick from.

I did try to find a "What are you reading?" thread, but no joy, so thought I would stick this here:-

Anyone looking for a late Crimble pressie, or even just to reinvigorate their own creative juices, Naval & Military Press are offering The Macedonian Phalanx by Richard Taylor - all 482 pages of it - for just £9.99 in hardback. Got to be worth a tenner, hasn't it?

We should club together and buy it for EB for Christmas. He'd love it...

I was thinking of a certain mascot attendant up in your neck of the woods.....

They've also got some bargain Duffys

Do we know if that phalanx book is any good ? Antrhing more than just a rehash of classical texts that we've all read ?
