Hi Mike

It's only because it hasn't stop raining for over a whole week now. Roll on summer.

Ps
While i dust the display cabinet out over the weekend , i'm planing a British infantry square under attack from french cavalry. Should take a day or two to complete.

Best wishes Mark

Hi Chaps

Very bored and it's still raining.


Mixed french infantry covering the escape of Napoleon from Waterloo.

fighting side by side to the last.

Still giving sustained volleys.

Their ranks thinning , but still fighting to the last.

Best wishes Mark.

Still Bored.

A British square caught out in the open.

Packed together, defending the Kings colours, and each others lives.

Standing shoulder to shoulder.

Best wishes Mark.

 

[Bellerophon]

Back again chaps.


French cavalry smashing into the British square.

Mayhem all around, as they come crashing in.

Time after time , on they come.

Defending the corners of the square.

Best wishes Mark.

more death and destruction.

Wave after wave of french horsemen.

Think of England !!.

Sounding the recall.

Batteries gone in the camera.

Best wishes Mark.

Cheers Mike

I wouldn't bank on the sun coming out any time soon. Last summer lasted all of 10 days of full sun.

So I'll be around for a long time yet

Best wishes Mark.

So cool Ragnar


Right up my street,

I'm reading British Battles of the dark ages at the moment by Peter Marren

With legendary military leaders like ,Arthur, Alfred and Canute, and with literally hundreds of battles to get my teeth into. Great read.


Your diorama could be Penda King of Mercia ,fighting the west Saxons at the battle of Maserfield.




Best wishes Mark

Ragnar great looking collection that's certainly on the "cutting edge" of our hobby. Thought I would "paint" another picture this morning.

Hi Ragnar

Any photo's or dioramas of , Inwaer (Ivar the Boneless) in your collection? son of Ragnar.

I've just come across him today , in the book I'm reading in work . ( lunch time )

He's just sacked Jorvik ( York ) with his brothers Halfdan Ragnarsson (Halfdene) and Ubbe Ragnarsson (Hubba).

you should give them more chores around the house to keep them out of mischief.

I live in Plymouth, Devon , which is in the old Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Alfred the Great's, Wessex ( West Saxon ).

Best wishes MARK

Hi Mark
This Ragnar has only three girls to get into mischief .
Sounds like a good read im always on the look out for good Dark ages stuff.
Don't have anyother dark ages pics besides the ones i posted early in the year.
Do have have a Harold Godwinson i need to paint up so when he's done will set something up with him.
Would like to go to the UK in a few years the wife has been there i have not . plenty of sites to check out (Hastings would be good to walk around).
Now if i can just finish building my Viking ship i will be on my way .

Tower of London
Stone Henge
Roman city of Bath
Exeter Cathedral
Dartmoor National Park
My house in Plymouth ( Mayflower steps )
