The Loose Association of Wargamers

I think I am behind the curve.

Orcs. Greeks. Basing time.

Just finished a batch of Russian armour for our 1941 games. T26 & BT5s make a change from the ubiquitous T34 hordes I'm used to.

Also some much delayed jungle pillboxes and a batch of sci-fi figures and scenery. Next? Whatever is in the pile!

Just painted a rather crappy and miserable rendition of a Landsknecht flag in French service

Fortunately found some on ebay that look much better and have parted with some cash
The colours on mine seem so muted, presumably because I was just using ordinary printer paper

Best to get someone with a colour laser to print your flags they don't fade and the colours are bright and the detail superb.

I always touch up gold and silver on printed flags though.

Technically not on my workbench (you'll see why in a minute), but putting together some 1:700 S-Boats and MTBs for a game on Thursday. I think the game might be postponed whilst I (a) find all the tiny bits that pinged out of my tweezers onto the floor (see above), and (b) recover from the swearing fit that had a neighbour ring the front door bell to see if I'd had a (real) accident!

Did you put the busybody neighbour to work finding the little bits?

the bits know. They will only reappear once you have cancelled the game or abandoned the project.

I put a sprue off-cut in their place. That showed the wee feckers!

Finished a Blucher yestrday.
