Club and painting update.

Last night we had a 100% turnout,and instead of having a game,everyone brought their newly painted figures up for us all to "ooh and arr" over-it turned into a good night!!


First up was Graham's Dutch/Belgian militia,from Perry Miniatures-these are just a small section of Graham's ever-growing Napoleonic collection,which will,hopefully, be on the board very soon!


Next up was Brian's Perry plastic 100 years war archers and men-at-arms-this is going to be such a colouful and "brutal" period to fight-can't wait!!


Dave was next-he is also painting up 100 years war figures from Perry,but metal ones!


Dave is not the best painter in the club,because I am!!-but he comes  a close second!!!!


WW2 German guns from "E-bay" bought by Dave and Paul-wonderful paint job!


More "E-bay" purchases,German and Russian troops-magnificent-roll on 24th November!!
Now,what we've all been waiting for-Dave and Paul's Napoleonic figures,back from being painted by Fernando Enterprises in Sri Lanka....................................


71st highlanders-very good quality painting,plus a matt gloss-Paul hadn't even had time to unpack the figures,but he should have a few based by next week and will bring them up for us to see.


Russian Hussar and Prussian infantry,the "boys" worked it out,taking into consideration postage and packing, that it cost in the region of £1.20 per foot figure and double that for the cavalry!!!


A close up of the Prussian infantry and a shot of the table,full of boxes-just like Christmas!
We had a good night and discussed up and coming events,demo games etc-a nice change from playing,but no real substitute!-roll on next Sunday,we will be fighting the battle planned for this Sunday,then a WW2 game.
