Warbases Loading Shovel

One of my recent purchases was Warbases Loading Shovel from their Sci-Favela range.

Here's how mine turned out.


All very dinky and neat, should I 'weather' it?

Skelp 2018 - Goodie List

Just a modest collection of goodies acquired at todays Skelp (small show in Forfar).

A few paints from Colonel Bill.


A Sci_Fi Loading Shovel (Warbases) should we ever get back into Sci-Fi.


Some big crates and some small crates for clutter.


Some beds and chairs, perhaps for the Jungle Hut.


Looks like bottles and glasses, originally by Scotia Grendel now marketed by Warbases.


Some rats, for everywhere.


Some round bits for round bit bases.


A preview of a new-ish item.


Something like this.


And the ubiquitous bag of 40 x 40's.

I'll let you know how they turned out.

As for Storm Callum, a bit of a whimper most of the time.

In the Jungle, the Mighty ...

... Jungle, the Lion sleeps tonight.

Well at least the Prussian had gone away.

Instead some Zanzibari's come snooping around.


Looking a touch greener this jungle hut has a new resident.


A bit greener down that side.


And that side too.


Greener up top too.


And round the back too.


It blends in nicely when more of the jungle turns up.

Time for a game then.

Prussian in a Jungle Hut

Yes, that's right, there's a Prussian in my jungle hut.


Are you sure?


Yes, he's definitely a Prussian. What's he doing here?

I was too lazy to find a more appropriate figure (if I have one) while I was keen to get some WIP photos of my jungle hut. It's a Warbases building.

I've added a few internal details.


And a few outside.


I've added a few matchsticks to beef up the underfloor supports, a simple job even for the most ham handed modeller.


A mosquito net is a must-have for any whiteman endeavours here.


Lots of clutter here ...


... and there.


What's next?

Some more clutter, inside and out, and, wait a minute ... some jungle.

Watch this space.

Prussian IR No 1

In between continuing bouts of tiredness, trips to the doctor and some more antibiotics I have managed to finish a regiment of 7YW Prussians for a friend.





Glad they are done.

4 battalions of Napoleonics are in the immediate queue and another 7YW Prussian Infantry Regiment to follow.

Busy days.
