Welcome

Welcome to my wargaming blog,
I'm Dave and live in Morpeth, Northumberland in the UK.
This may or may not be a regular thing, we'll just have to see how it goes.

I am a painter/collector of figures first and a wargamer second. My thrill in this great hobby of ours is to place that final well researched & painted unit into the cabinet. The actual gaming with the figures is an important but secondary experience, we all like to win, but it isn't the be all and end all of it, being with good friends and having fun is.
Hope you will enjoy reading this blog as much as I will writing in it.
Just to remind the visitor to scroll down the various pages and click on 'older posts' to see more.
Dave.

A few more Hinchliffe figures

 Saw these British infantry on eBay and put a bid in. the lady was selling them in groups of eight so I contacted her to get a price for the lot. She said that she was selling them on behalf of her uncle and that she would let them all go for £50, when they arrived there were double the amount I expected. This was very kind of her and I assured her that they would be put to good use.

I wanted to have 1815 British infantry but as these chaps have round shakos , no flank companies and no standard bearer they will do as Hanoverian Landwehr.  As you can see from the first photo they had the basis of a paint job but did need some work, lining in is a bitch but I'll get there.

The original paint job.



I know, one Minifig snuck in but what the heck!
