Dear Tony Blair
Well, now I've caught your attention......this is a blog about gaming miniatures, both old and new school but with a leaning towards old school. I've been in the hobby since the 70s and seem to show no sign of stopping in the foreseeable future.....

Fellowship of the Cheese!
A total joy to receive was a set of RRB Minis mice at arms, sculpted by David Bezio. Whilst he was sculpting them he posted WIPs on Facebook so of course I had to goad him into making a Fellowship set. He didn't disappoint! These are tiny little figures, approximately 10mm tall. The pics tell the whole story. All the greens are David's own images, used with permission. I've tentatively mounted them on 20 round bases...
The full Mice At Arms army set is available in the UK although the link has details of getting them from RRB Minis in the USA and also the rules via David Bezio's 'Lulu' account.

So what have I been up to?
I've also been painting a lovely Sarissa Precission ''Pissoir' to go with the upcoming Napoleoniques. I found it whilst, as usual, looking for something else and, again as usual, had to start that.

The joys of a Warhammer 40K bits box...
Sorting out boxes which is my favourite hobby pastime! This was part of a job lot given to me years ago by a friend... he used blue tac to attach weapons so they could be changed when needed. Sacrilege!
The tub is just plastic, most of the rest are metal barring the Space Marine / Ork vehicle bits etc.
Spent a pleasant evening in last night with the hound finishing the first series of HBO's 'Rome'. I'd ordered the second series on Friday and it arrived yesterday meaning I stayed up till 01:30 watching the first 2 episodes... rather tired today.

Bryan Ansell has passed away.
I just heard that Bryan passed away this morning. So many stories to tell and now gone like the fleeting mists of time. So sad. He passed away peacefully with his family by his side. RIP Bryan. I'll raise a glass for you shortly. He joins his father, Cliff, who passed in 2019.
The tribute from Diane's Facebook age.
A poor pic of me, Bryan and Tony at BOYL a few years back. Bryan and the family made me feel so welcome that my usual anxiety issues could disappear for the weekend.
