Sorbie Tower near Whithorn circa 1500
Whithorn Main Street some great buildings which I will copy in future buildings
History everywhere, one for the SCW buffs...
WW2 pillbox I think but I couldn't get a closer look, quite a few protecting the roads in from the coast
Museum of beautiful ancient Christian crosses
Garlieston where they tested the Mulberry harbours for D day
Druchtag Motte 1100 and very steep hence the rope !
Wigtown is famous for its second hand bookshops so I had to by a couple.....
........and the painting
I managed to complete another rebel unit 😀
Something quirky for blood in the Sand which I picked up off eBay probably an objective in a future battle
An explorer for Africa.......I did paint some other stuff but didn't get it finished so will post later
Finally a picture of the first Confederate Brigade completed...4 units. I have now developed a plan for the project and ordered some Feds, I feel I need to crash on with the ACW so other stuff might have to slow down. We'll see😀
Wow! Very productive holiday! If I took painting along on holiday, my body might never be found. Love the Arc of the Covenant model!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan...she must really love me 😍 the Arc is made by Castaway Minatures.....
DeleteA fine and productive time you had there Matt.
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil....it was a holiday so we drank some fine wine as well 😀
DeleteGreat blog, love the arc of the covenant - needs Nazis and a hero in a hat
ReplyDeleteThe Nazi's I can do .......
DeleteLooks like you have had the perfect holiday!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael we all like a good holiday........😀
DeleteWelcome back. Some terrific work. I should play more Biblical wargames. But as no club member is very interested I get very little opportunity. (Said after looking at the Arc....!)
ReplyDeleteThanks .....as part of my blood in the Sand campaign/epic the arc may get used in a range of different roles. Although I haven't quite worked out how to do it the lid isn't stuck down so the bearers can carry other things as well 😀
DeleteThose ACW look the business. I really do love how you've done them.
ReplyDeleteThanks Roy fairly basic paint job but effective in bulk !
DeleteIndeed.
DeleteThe ACW chaps look great as does the ark, holiday and painting?! Lucky man!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks Iain.....after a brief rest should be back to gaming this weekend🙂
DeleteWe don't know where to head Matt, so many fabulous things! The biblical stand is my favourite...excellent!
ReplyDeleteMerci 😀 The Arc is from a company called Castaway Minatures, and I've just noticed I haven't put any grass on the base yet😬
