Cheers Ian. The recruitment for the army is painfully slow, but then I do keep distracting myself.  lol

Somethings ARE moving off the Shelves of Shame :o

I bought these off e-bay, mainly because the price was low & they were painted.
I think they are Britannia (Chunky 25mm).
They have rested on the Shelves of Shame long enough!
1) Chipped every one off their small square MDF bases.
2) Put them all onto metal washers (30mm diameter).
3) Did various minor repairs.
4) Tarted up their clothing (added patterns, stripes, dots etc.).
5) Textured, painted & 'flocked' up the bases.

With that all done I had a think (What am I going to do with them?????)

I now have a project to create a Simple, Fun, quick modern skirmish game.
Working title is...'Wild Boys'

As our Medieval Campaign is slipping quietly off to 'sleep' I
thought I would finish off the figures I had earmarked to
be the King & Queen (if needed)

Here we (finally) have King Peter & His Queen, Helen.
