Another Kickstarter

Caution... not UK friendly, so Canadian fulfilment. Some very nice looking figures though. I am wondering what the eventual Northstar pricing will be like.

I'm looking at the Nickstarter for Stargrave. Freebies look nice so far but I don't need 20 figure box sets. May end up swapping or selling spare sprues.

that has been me for 40 years, so finally did.

Trees. 12cm. Good value at £5.39 for 10 but they will need varnishing as the shed flock will do for the flower beds I'm doing.

To be honest, I thought Footsore make a better range

They look reasonable. but thankfully a period I am safely immune to!

Buff, I will take spare sprues off you. No interest in the rules but I fancy the figures for some klutzy paw-friendly conversion potential.

St George was eastern European, and the dragon is Welsh. So perhaps the Londonistan Flats Society?

And the designer of the figure was German I believe so perhaps we need to shut the whole society down with immediate effect.

Fredd the figure looks rather lovely - enjoy painting it !

all fun and games. I have admired flats for years. But that's one rabbit-hole I am not going to go down. Stargrave OTOH I was severely tempted by, as I have Dr Who and Aliens figures... but I am trying to resist.

i suppose it should have occurred to me years ago, but is St George the symbolic Anglo-Saxon defeating the Dragon, symbolising the Welsh? And everyone will say 'of course, everyone knows that'. It will only be the second bleeding obvious thing I figure out today.
