Father's Day

This year seems to be destined to be a year of buildings and books. Not a single figure paintbrush on the horizon.  On Sunday I steered by wife down to Toy World where she bought my Father's Day present. I've had my eye on thus model for a while and even though I have other church models I thought it might go well with the Italieri stone house I made last year. The model has mixed reviews but I still think it is quite an imposing capture point on a table. We'll see how it turns out over the next few weeks.

Cool! Just figured out how to post multiple images

Here are my Del Prado cavalry figures.  Now I can delete these from my phone.

Ospreys at home photo the second.

Well, most of the titles I have been wanting have finally found their way onto my bookshelf. Only about 15-20 to go. I decided to include the Seven Years War in my purchases because it is a logical lead up to the Napoleonic Wars and there are some awesome uniforms! Posting down to the bottom of the planet is surprisingly fast (3 weeks), although it does take about 2 weeks to actually process the order. It has been a fun experience to wait at the gate for my early Christmas presents. Next up - Austrian troops for real Christmas if HAT Industrie get their range to the shops in time?
