Quick update.......in a butterfly moment I decided the crossbows has been so good in the last battle I should paint some more. Luckily I had a blister of Crusader miniatures Normans who I picked up ages ago second hand. The beauty of painting these is they are mainly chainmail so only took a couple of evenings. This is a good job as I have plenty more on the go and in preparation.
....and as I have finished all my SYW stuff I put in a new order and look what the postman brought me today
This is more than enough to get the SYW to a respectable stage.....
No views today as the weather has changed to showery.......I could share a photo of the fence/gate I replaced on my day off/lockdown holiday but that would pretty boring. Back on the bike tomorrow hopefully....thanks for looking.
Nice job Matt, more diddymen tooπ
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil, yes enough little fellows to keep me going well beyond lockdown !
DeleteExcellent crossbowmen and a very respectable pile of loot!
ReplyDeleteI was out on the bike the last three days but today is overcast and quite windy. Back in the garage on the trainer for me.
Thanks Jonathan managed another good day out today and the weather held just about 10 degrees C wind no more than 10 mph. Looking forward to getting some painting done though π

ReplyDeleteThanks David. I would be lying if I said they weren’t a bit fiddly but not as bad as you might think a different approach
DeleteGreat looking crossbowmen Matt, nice job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil......π
DeleteOh shiny! I think I need a treat like that - it's good for the soul, the only problem is that with lockdown I will never be able to get it past Mrs. Awdry!
ReplyDeleteThe thing is my toys arrive in very small packets and my wife’s seem to be huge and far more expensive !
DeleteLovely looking bunch of useful crossbow men! Always nice to receive some reinforcements!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
