More Bits and Bobs.

 Well where has the time gone since the Glasgow weekend. Sadly I had to attend another funeral of another school friend. That's four in a year! Who said we were living longer? Anyway to escape reality I dashed of a few bits and bobs. I find painting a great escape from things I don't particularly want to dwell on.
 This lovely figure was given to me by Colin at the Durham show. Wargamers are very generous souls. So I had to paint him up, naturally he is a sniper for the rebs. He was a joy to paint.Thanks again Colin, he's a belter.

I am becoming increasingly drawn towards the Mini Fig ranges and yes their horses are strange,[backsides like Kim Kardashian] but they have a real charm.

                                     This chap will command some Royalists.

                                       Whilst this one will lead some Parliamentarians.

   I seem to have acquired more dragoons than I probably have need of, but I do like these Hinchliffe chaps which are a combination of old painted Hinds figures and some new scuplts. These will fight for Parliament. A further batch, this time Mini Figs will be Royalists.

 I discovered that I have completed 12 Royalist regiments of foot whilst I only have completed 8 regiments of Parliamentarian foot regiments. I'm not certain how that happened so I will have to pull my finger out and balance up the forces. Strangely I have more Parliamentarian horse than Royalist horse, so something definitely went wrong somewhere. This ECW project seems to have taken an age to reach completion although in reality its less than a year. Unfortunately July will not be the month to crack on as I seem to be busy enjoying myself, so perhaps August will be more fruitful.
