Have to miss out on Crisis this year but still managing about 10 shows a year, some of them quite local.<br /><br />Hope you continue to improve.<br />Jim Duncan Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14114076455087495681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-235143659957048058.post-53497829788170742902017-10-22T22:54:12.718+00:002017-10-22T22:54:12.718+00:00Hi Jim, having suffered a stroke myself this June ...Hi Jim, having suffered a stroke myself this June I can fully imagine how you feel. Still, I am sure your energy will return, I know mine is, slowly. We're always a little impatient, are we not? Just keep up the good spirits, taking one step at a time and all will be well. Your painting definitely has not suffered, the figures look great!

Felt a touch dozy on approach.<br /><br />Will do a similar drive in November so will do a comparison to see if my stamina has increased.<br /><br />I need to be able to drive to York in February, up at 5am, 6am driving, 4 hours to get there.

I have done one large base of the Warlord Celtic infantry and found the transfers hard work, in the end I cut them in half so that they would apply properly, but I suspect the fault was mine, as I think you are meant to apply them with a different technique than standard decals (peal and reverse apply I think).<br /><br />Did you ever do anything serious with your Kallistra AWI?Normhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05031444717952755557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-235143659957048058.post-18693426291097012142017-10-21T23:42:48.431+00:002017-10-21T23:42:48.431+00:00The figures look great!
