A List of Interesting Things (Idle Thoughts on a Sunday)

What's on the painting table without having a designated painting table (the curse of having things packed away in boxes). My current periods of historical interest/reading (in a haphazard order of sorts):
  • Ancient Greece (BCE 480-479): A lot of 15mm DBA armies and the question of how to play Salamis
  • WWII Naval 1:3000 [i] (Early Atlantic 1939-41) Up to and including Sink the Bismarck
  • WWII Naval 1:3000 [ii] (Early Pacific 1941-42) Japan Triumphant
  • WWII Naval 1:3000 [iii] (Early Mediterranean 1940-42) The Malta Battles
  • WWI Naval 1:3000 North Sea: Jutland
  •  WWII Western Front Infantry Battles: Those 20mm 1944 Normandy British Infantry to finish and some 20mm SHQ BEF figures (and an excuse to paint the Airfix Fairy Battle).
Game on :)

    Hi Geordie,

    With the exception of the Pacific the other three naval headings are right up my street and so I look forward on seeing your take on them.

    Re Salamis - Tumbling Dice now have a range of 1/2400th ancient ships available....;-)

    Email me re Jutland and Bismarck - I may be able to help you out with those.

    All the best,

    DC

    Hello David,

    I am torn regarding the Tumbling Dice triremes, they look good en masse (several to a base) but I miss the detail of 1/1200 Navwar, but yet again think could I not knock up some masters myself and cast as good!

    Hmmm, the pennies add up to quickly

    Paul I will have to do that Fairey Battle, I've waited so long I'm tempted to buy another two to may a sacrificial flight of three

    My Westland Lysander just needs a tidy up to be finished too :)

    Perfect for hopelessly optimistic air cooperation duties with the BEF
