Captain Blood's Perry Mounted Men at Arms. P.156 Scots pike block painted

[Arlequín]

Yes, best wishes for today... but hurry up and get back to showing me what I can do with a few boxes of plastic figures... when I get them.

 

[janner]

Good luck with that!

Sadly, I have to spend the day in hospital tomorrow for an op on my shoulder, so won't be making any more of these for a few days - unless I can work out how to build them one-handed! 

Wishing you a speedy recover Capt B 

[Galland]

Yes, but what on earth would I do with the accompanying GW giant?  
Great idea Simon. As it happens though, I have already knocked up a 'running man' of my own. I shall post him later when I finish work  


Fear not, Alex. They will see paint soon enough  

Thanks Darrell. Yes, I knew there were competing theories as to whether the victims were despatched in action, in flight, or executed. I think I read that they are excavating more graves at Towton presently or soon, so perhaps the new archaeology will shed light on the grim fate met by so many.
(I do plan to do a post-battle execution vignette as well... Just need to work out the right components... )

More later today...

If you still need one of these, I have a spare one that you can have if you like, just PM me your adress and I will send it to you. I have 3 of the giant boxes, and yes that might seem like an exaggerated interest in overly grown men, but there is reason, albeit I can assure you that there where never a plan for three of them, heh, just the way it works out every now and then.

Wishing you a speedy recover Capt B 

I think he is having an extar pair of arms added so he can paint and assemble at the same time.  

[Aaron]

Here is to a speedy recovery!

[Captain Blood]

Thanks all. All done and back home 
I now have several 6mm scale holes around my shoulder, and my arm in a sling for at least a couple of days. So that's put paid to my modelling and painting fun for a little while. I'm relying on you lot to be entertaining in the meantime!

Thanks Sonny. That's very kind of you 
I shall have a think about it once I'm back up and running properly.

Have a swift recovery Richard. 

[Bugsda]

That's bad timing Cap, have you got your LPL entries finished?

Happy healing  

[Dr Mathias]

Sounds like you've become the worlds first 'method painter'. Exploring the role of a guy who has been lanced in the shoulder from behind by a horseman... it really allows  you to connect with your miniatures

Good thing you're not exploring 28mm scale holes... speedy recovery!

[Captain Blood]

That's bad timing Cap, have you got your LPL entries finished?

Oh yes 

Thanks chaps. With luck, normal service will be resumed before too long 

[Ray Rivers]

If you type, you can build.

So let's get to work!

 

[valleyboy]

Best of luck Richard
I had a shoulder repair about 2 years ago and was in a sling for a month and off work for the same time, there wasn't a lot I could do so watched a pile of war DVDs in the first week but managed to get painting after 10 days, I convinced myself it would help with restoring shoulder mobility

[dm]

I had the same done about 15 years ago after a motorbike smash left my right shoulder in a mess and was painting again after two weeks but it took a few months to heal correctly get plenty of films in and enjoy the rest

There are these guys who hold their paint brushes with their feet... just sayin' 

[Thunderchicken]

.... or teeth. You can strap a light to your head too.

Joking aside, get well soon old chap.
