The Ayton 2023 Colonial Thread, Friday 28th-30th April.

Is this a push to change the weekend to 17th Century colonial? I confess to having a fondness for Kirke's Lambs for many years, and an excuse to buy some more of the lovely Dixon figures is tempting. And it's not like native forces would be an issue....................................just saying.

NO!!!!! will the organiser please refrain from such suggestions

Absolutely!
Although the original weekend was going to be C17th and the subsequent plans have been for colonial so........

I’m not painting anything until Count Wrecking Ball has at least half a completed force.

I don’t have anything suitable for 17th century colonial so may just opt out and do something else.

So mostly C17th again unless you are starting around 1000AD with Greenland and N. America

I was thinking around the late 800’s with their colonisation of the British Isles

I'm not sure that's really colonialism but it's an opinion!

[Jeremy]

It was a joke Paul. I thought quite a good one. Apparently not.
