Christmas is nearly upon us, the weather has improved which is good. The children are back making the house feel busy. I am managing some hobby time though between family stuff. A couple of things completed in the last few days.
This slightly silly terrain piece (planes don’t really crash like this !) but I picked up from the bring and buy at battleground. It is a single 3D print which had a small broken piece at the bottom of the box. Not wanting to make it too specific I have given it non-specific markings and will probably add some smoke when it is on the table.
Also from the secondhand haul at battleground these ECW cavalry. Not sure on the make but they are quite old softer metal figures. Possibly Essex ? Anyway the riders are very slightly bulky but the horses match quite well with the others I have.
Here they are on the left, Peter Pig in the middle and Warlord epic on the right. They match surprisingly well , indicating once again that the warlord figures are really closer to 15mm than most people think. There was only one unit and a couple of odd figures in the bag but they make a nice extra unit.
It does give me that age old problem, as when they were placed in the box, there is no more space and I have at least 3 more cavalry units in the pile ! It looks like the ECW collection is going to move into its fifth box.
All vehicles are charity shop buys and looking for them is quite an addiction.
Are slightly larger battle is planned….
But for now my daughter has enjoyed rolling some dice in the dungeon which will do for me π
And finally for those loyal readers who have made it this far I pulled together a short 3 minute ‘eye candy’ video of the games (most I think) that we have played in the dungeon in 2025. As to be expected no stats from me and certainly no hint of how much I have spent on my hobbies………just in case my dear wife stumbled across my blog by accident.
Have a great Christmas I will return to my Italian airforce work while the kids are out shopping π

A great mix of stuff there Matt:)! Sadly no space nor time for anything gaming related, other than reading or planning, which is at least something I suppose. Fortunately SWMBO will in all probablity never look at my Blog, but if she did, words might be exchanged;). Merry Xmas to you and yours too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve, if my wife would certainly only be reading my blog by mistake so I’m pretty safe π merry Christmas π π½
DeleteFantastic year, I appear to have lost a lot of games this yearπ. Happy Christmas to all of you. See you in the new year.
ReplyDeleteGreat year for you, Matt! I was lucky to be able to enjoy some of your splendidly presented games. I know the feeling all too well about needing to bring another empty box onto the storage pile. Seems to happen with regularity providing a sense of joy, accomplishment, and yet sorrow. I await tales of the Zombie Apocalypse!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
Super post, the crashed plane looks rather good, and nice additions to your ECW collection, they fit in very well. Adding boxes for more figures for a collection is a problem I know only too well!
