At home. 22/05/20

            So on the home front.

·        

My MG42  squads for CoC.

Its was another 'jour férié' here yesterday.  I have been amazed at how much more wild life we have been seeing close to home.  We have a family of hedgehogs around in the garden, they seem to be digging up the turf looking for grubs. 

My MG42 squads for CoC.

We have also seen a family of hawks, one of them dropped into the chicken pen after small birds.  The hawk knocked over the chicken feeder and that made the chickens very cautious.  We have a family of Woodpeckers visiting the feeders in the garden.

·         We are still having to wear masks and in some stores gloves as well.

·         Its great weather here , 26° yesterday.  Still some work with the neighbours, grass cutting and clearing out a greenhouse ready to plant more tomatoes.  Monday / Tuesday I, with Louise's help, finishing off the ceramic tiling for her restaurant kitchen.  That finishes the tiling in the new kitchen.  Next to fix the stainless steel panels behind the cooker and getting all the sockets mounted into the walls.  Buying and fitting the extract hood.

            So time for my hobby continues.

·         The weeding out.  Next will be the 54mm WW2 British.

Germans Panzerschreck supports.

·         Back to the boxes and getting figures ready to game with.  Bases have arrived for the 28mm cavalry so the 1846 Mexicans and the US cavalry can be based and flocked.  The late war Germans are coming along.  I still have some models to finish but they will not be needed in the first games.

            So the clearout.

·         I am going through my boxes to sort out the figures that I do not intend to use for any project.

Late war German infantry

·         To go all in 1:32 scale plastic, CTS Churchill tank, British Para's by a couple of different companies, 13 Japanese infantry, 6 Britain's North American Bison and British Commandoes.

            So the hobby.

·         I have finished the rest of the late war Germans that I have.  We had a game yesterday, spent a lot of time remembering the rules.  Started to make an M8 armoured car for use by a German forces. 

The other German figures to make the squads up.

·         I ordered some Spanish infantry to go with the irregulars that I find I have painted.  This will allow me to have a force of Spanish Peninsular troops for Sharpe Practise.  These are cleaned up and ready for priming.  I have also found some Spanish cavalry, ready primed, just need to sort out what they are and to find a paint scheme.

·         So for the next week prime my Spanish infantry.  Paint and base two US 1846 artillery crews.  Finish my two oxen drawn wagons.  And I have several markers to finish for Sharp Practise.
