Hi fellow bloggers, it has been over month since the last blog entry, where does the time go? Pretty heavy here on the business and family front of late. But apart from finishing off a couple of commissions I have managed to assemble and paint a box of Plastic Soldier Company T70's, not a very effective unit but as annoying as gnats to the opposition. Also got a trip to New York in for my wife's "big" birthday, had a great time but very tiring, so much to see and do four days was no where near enough, still a good excuse to return in the future. Speaking of the future I was seriously considering just letting the blog slowly slip away, I sometimes wonder whether it is worth the time and effort involved, then out of the blue I had an email from a fellow blogger who's work I admire greatly, saying how my Carlist War project had inspired him to perservere with his own, this together with the subsequent telephone conservation swept away my negative waves, at least for now. Anyway, back to more cheerful things, the gnatski's, a Civil War monument in Brooklyn and a couple of shots of the Chrysler Building because I like Art-Deco.
Only managed to get one game in so far this month this was a 1920's ganster game over at
GHQ, click the link for all the gory detail. All things being well I will be over at GHQ again this Thursday, John is coming up from Cheltenham for a three way FIW bash.

Keep on keeping on old boy, I always look out for new posts from yourself and Dave. I feel off my blog for about 12 months, to busy having a crap time with real life etc...
ReplyDeleteAll the best

Thank you for the encouragement and support, I will endeavour to keep the enthusiasm going.
DeleteKeep up the blogging. I like reading your posts.
ReplyDeleteThank you Chris, I will certainly try.
DeleteWe all go up and down. I had an unremarked hiatus of almost 5 months. After all, the blogs are labors of love. Do it when you can. Love the T-70's! 1/72 or 15mm?
ReplyDeleteThank you, I will try and remember that. They are 1/72, God's own scale for WWII :-)
DeleteAs others I follow your blog with great interest. In particular I like your WW2 posts. But no pressure. As all of us we post when able. /Mattias
ReplyDeleteThank you Mattias, lots more WWII to come, I am finding it easier to fit in around the paying stuff, three vehicles a unit for instance being quicker than 20+ figures.
DeleteNice photos, especially the detail shots of the Chrysler Building. Know exactly what you mean about blogging, have been considering 'resting' my own blog for a quite a while but enjoy reading your posts.
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt, quite pleased how they came out, took them from the sidewalk on the opposite side of the road.
ReplyDeletePhil, It's not just your Carlist wars figures that have inspired me...love all your projects!
ReplyDeleteDavid
Thank you for the further encouragement to persevere and strive to inspire.
DeletePhil, I gave up blogging because real life just got too busy. I sold up lots of figures, however I started up again but sadly I have nothing to look back on.
ReplyDeleteAll blogging deadlines are self-imposed, no one out in the wibbly - wobbly - wonderweb is "owed" anything from any bloggers. I would miss your work (and corrections of my Spanish).
We do what we do, when we can and damn the torpedoes!
Thanks Matt. Pleased you started up again, always look forward to seeing your posts.
ReplyDeletePhil, Stumbling across your blog a couple of years ago is what encouraged me to start recording my own efforts. You have such great projects and I follow them avidly. Mark
ReplyDeleteThanks Mark, I will have to try and remember this post when I next have an attack of the negative waves.
ReplyDeleteFine work on the little chapskis! I look forward to commanding them soonish!
