One of the blogs I enjoy reading and following the photos of painting progress is Palouse Wargaming Journal. Jonathan has been posting on his blog for 5 years now and is having a contest to celebrate the 5 years, closing 22nd September. The link is below:

In addition to just blogging Jonathan actively comments and supports other bloggers. So I am very happy to publicise this contest.
While much of my weekend has been spent working in the garden. I have been able to complete one unit of French infantry with a bicorne hat and have another just waiting for the base to be flocked. They are made from surplus ACW Spencer Smith figures and using a pose that is similar to their other Napoleonic figures.

On the gaming front I am still playing some WW2 games using the Tank on Tank boardgames rules modified for the tabletop. I plan to list down and post the handful of amendments I use later this week.

Even with duties in the garden, your hobby table is busy!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your mention of my contest. I have not seen you officially enter by commenting on the post. Do you want your name added into the drawing?
Thankyou. Just added a comment to your blog.
DeletePeter, I do like your basing with infantry combined with vehicles on the same base.
ReplyDeleteThanks Norm. I started basing them that way because I was playing with OHW rules and a unit is represented on one stand. It was convenient to just represent motorised/mechanised infantry that way. For the most part it works and I like the look, unless you want to show destroyed vehicles.
