Work in progress is a bit of a none-entity this time
round. I managed to find employment far
more swiftly than at the beginning of the year, but at the expense of my
evenings and my sole free modelling and gaming time. Said work is with Asda, picking online orders
between the unpleasantly early time of 6am and 11am which has meant needing to
sleep from 9pm onwards, and because I work every Friday I’m currently not
gaming on a Thursday. It has a major
side benefit that I am free to spend most of each day with family however. It is permanent, but seasonal, so I expect to
be dropped from the rota in the new year which is fine, and fortunately the
people there are lovely.
Onto modelling and the only bit I have managed earlier in
the month is the painting of a number of American Civil War 6mm troops, namely an
infantry regiment, a cavalry regiment, 4
artillery pieces, dismounted cavalry and skirmishing infantry, and most
importantly 3 command bases to lead them.
They are painted and stuck to their MDF bases, but I haven’t got round
to painting and flocking the actual MDF bit, so they are stored away waiting
for that day. I’ve taken a few pictures
to brighten the day anyway.
Gaming
I have managed one significant game this month; fighting Red’s
British armour to a draw in my Flames of War campaign game. The campaign continues with round 2 due to
end after the 19th of December.
Current Reading
Most definitely the Stryker books by Michael Arnold. I’ve read 3 of the first 4 so far, and I’ve
moved onto the 4th today; Assassin’s Reign. Billed at the ‘Sharpe of the English Civil
War’ it does have similarities in the writing and the way it moves along at
pace, but I feel it gives even more period feel and detail than Sharpe, and is
certainly good enough to read cover to cover.
Painted Vs. Purchased
Not bought anything.
Not painted anything. So a 0-0
still then!
