I'm sailing away



Well we have some progress, the arse end now exists and the superstructure is placed, length is 15"/38cm so gives a beam to length ratio of 4-1, which looks a lot better than the 3-1 of the mock up.
Oh yeah, I made a cardboard mock up for the first time ever and glad I did, as i t made me realise it needed to be longer and the hull needed to come up higher above the waterline, still can't find any crew yet, daggnabbit.

Attention span, I've heard of that.

Now, it may look like I've started something new, which I have, but it counts towards the blockhouse project so it's not too bad. Based on the island class patrol vessels, but smaller, otherwise it would of ended up a meter long. Now I'm just hoping I can find some crew who look right, should it be so hard to find naval chaps and chapessess in anti-flash gear, apprently yes.




First game

So I actually got to play a game in attempt to get used to the rules I'm using.
It was some regulars on the right and territorials on the left, also notice how dusty some of the terrain is, should probably of cleaned it a bit more.




















well the game ended in a draw as both sides bottled out, but at least the rules were easy to remember, which was the important thing.

Donkey whallopers

Well here they are painted at last, not as detailed as planned, but they'll still look good on the dance floor, erm table.

And once they've used the valet parking they still need to be represented on the field of battle, or something.

More Lannys

Something a bit more militiary this time, well a couple of things.
And that was the colour the bull bars came from the depot, no-ones bothered to repaint it yet.

Cavalry

Seeing as miniature companies refuse to anticipate my future needs, I've had to try some conversions, figures are gripping beast, nags are e-bobs. There is a fourth but the photos showed up something that annoys me so it's getting stabbed till it looks better.






The blockhouse itself

This is the rough placement of the porta cabins, based on a 40x40cm base so it'll fit in with the not ufo style scenery, thingy. Most of the cabins are cast just need to order some bits from various places and the get me finger out and build it.
