Hi all (anyone/someone)

I've decided to rename my blog to Rob's Wargaming Blog.

Things I have on the go at present are:

1 - Prepping Warlord Games Celts (for display in a model show associated with our local Porth Carnival (12th July) and the South Wales model Show (next January)

2 - Caesar miniatures Elves and Orcs for a wargaming on a budget article

Things waiting in the wings

1 - a mix of Warlord Games and Wargames Factory Romans and Celts

2 - Perry Miniatures plastic Napoleonic French and Victrix plastic Peninsula Napoleonic Brits

3 - Valiant Miniatures plastic british, classic German and GI figures

The New Avengers!

Cheap and cheerful Gambit, Purdie and Steed all from Clix figure repaints.

Steed has had a custom made umbrella added along with a very large gun!

Not quite sure what I'll use them for but I'm sure they'll get into some appropriate trouble at some point in time!

Pictures of the captain and his crew as promised

Dino Hunters/Lost World ships crew

Work has now started on the ships crew to go with the hunters pictured previously.

Photos will follow when completed.

Two photos from my latest project. The figures are from the Strelets Boers set. They are soon to be joined by a boat crew taken from figures in the Strelets Crimean Cossacks & Sailors set and will also have figures from the Esci/Italeri Muslim warrior set as bearers etc.

The Dinos are cheap and cheerful ones from toy Dinosaur tubs.

More pictures will follow in due course.

My garden is my biggest battleground.

It's hard to believe but when my grandfather was alive the garden was beautifully maintained with masses of flowers and vegetables.

However, so far I've only just begun my campaign to re-conquer it!

Articulating

I have been giving serious thought to writing some simple 'get started in gaming' articles for two main reasons

1 - To encourage youngsters/newcomers

2 - In line with the Frugal Challenge of wargaming on a budget

If anyone has any thoughts as to whether this will fly then please share them with me.

My two most recently completed figures

Some examples of commission work I have undertaken.

Skinhead & Punk

Hippy girl & Rasta

These are part of my display at model shows.

They represent youths on National Service and a Teddy Boy and a 60's girl.

Make my day - leave me a comment

The rambler is back - don't all cheer at once!

Question - Why do advertisers of new technology TV's demonstrate how wonderful they are by displaying them in action on adverts running on older technology TV's?

Feel free to enlighten me - someone - anyone.........please!
