It's been a challenging week. Heavy rain courtesy of Storm Claudia and a gutter suddenly becoming blocked has led to water entering my dining room. Two days of annual leave taken, the first to assess the problem in the rain and the second day to make some emergency repairs. On inspection I uncovered a botched job on some of the pointing, that was easily corrected the following day which fortunately was dry (the only dry day forecast for the forseeable future!). It's been over twenty years since I've picked up a trowel in anger, but despite the urgency it was quite enjoyable and satisfying to make the repair.
So, onto hobby matters. For this week I offer up more 28mm Early Saxons from the beautiful Footsore Miniatures range. I absolutely loved painting these figures. The Leader is a particularly characterful piece, and it the second time I have painted this model, having sold the first one for some bizarre reason that I cannot recall. All are painted in Foundry colours and the shields are hand painted.
Progress continues with the Jacobite project, for those interested the last picture shows the British Infantry as they are being based. The figures are 15mm Lancashire Games and the flags were an eBay find. Not all the British Line are present, there are three more line regiments missing from the photo. I also have to paint a regiment of Independent Company for the British. Currently on the painting table are the first regiment of British Dragoons and the first batch of Jacobite Lowland Infantry. All these figures are Blue Moon.
