Well,I have a most "disturbing" cough,which I've had for weeks,which starts at my toes and ends up nearly bringing my lungs up!!On Tuesday tea-time I coughed so much that I couldn't breathe,starved my brain(?) of oxygen,passed out and fell and hit my eye on a cupboard handle!-I couldn't remember anything about it until my wife picked me up and started to mop the blood up-well,the next morning(Wednesday) at about 7.30am I had another coughing "episode" resulting in another fall,onto the bedroom floor,cracking my head and bloodying my nose-again,I couldn't remember a thing!!-However,I can now control the bloody cough,so no more falls/pass-outs,just a very sore head,eye and body........................
I "dug out" some figures which I have had for a couple of years today,undercoated them,and will hopefully start to paint them tomorrow(unless I decided to head-butt a floor somewhere!)
I don't know the manufacturer,they are French/Indian war figures(rangers and courier du bois) and the animation is very good-can anyone help to identify the make??
My eyes(the good one that is!) has drifted more and more to my neglected guitars over the past few days,so may take playing up again,when I finish these figures-could I combine the two and use one of the figures as a Plectrum!!!-now I'm wandering!!
Anyway,I don't think I can stay away from this little beauty for 13 weeks!
Wow, I hope you got yourself seen too, fainting is not to be sniffed at!
ReplyDeleteHI Herkybird,the only person you can see at the moment is the "corner shop" manager-when you 'phone the Doc's they try and arrange a "triage" call but they are so over-stretched!
DeleteFeel much better today!-thanks for concern.

Take care of yourself, I look forward to seeing these figures moving forward.
ReplyDeleteThanks Allan,I have put the "block" colour on them today,so hopefully in a couple of days I will have something to show!

You should have posted a warning before you showed an image of yourself, it was quite a shock.On a more sensible note have you contacted the NHS help line just to be informed to stay inside.Passing out isnt a good thing although it would keep you quiet. By the way I was reading my Battle magazines and who should I spy in the letters section? Only you berating and attacking some poor sod re his wargaming.
ReplyDeleteYo Robbie,111 is so over-stretched at the moment,and my Doc's are in "hibernation" I think at the moment-however I feel much better today-cough loosening up,always a good sign-I can't remember berating anyone about their wargaming-what was it about??
Deletejohnc
Ill get back to you. By the way what size shoes are you?
DeleteRobbie,because of my "cloven feet" I can't wear shoes!!
DeleteBl**dy hell.. be careful man.. figures.. Parkfield Miniatures??
ReplyDeleteHi Steve-the-Wargamer,Parkfield Miniatures-I'll look them up,thanks for info,and I will be careful-THE WIFE won't let me out of her sight,incase I keel over again!!
Deletejohnc
Sorry to hear of your injuries... I hope you recover and don't bash yourself again. Possibly Dixon miniatures?
ReplyDeleteAnyhow, stay safe. Best regards Mike
Hello Mike,another couple of readers agree with you that the figures are indeed Dixon-many thanks.
Deletejohnc
Your FIW figures are Dixon, i painted a lot of them 30 years ago..
ReplyDeleteHello DC,and many thanks for info,I hope your efforts are greater than mine-I am a most terrible painter,mainly because I rush them,to get them onto the board as quick as possible,regards,
DeleteWilliam(Johnc)
Pretty sure the figures are Dixon......the officer certainly has the look of one.
ReplyDeleteNeil
