So for my Birthday in July I got some Malifaux goodies, amongst other things.
 
 
I'd head a lot about Yan Lo's beard. Wow. People weren't joking. Here it is against a MATCHHEAD!!!!
 
And here they are all painted up. Used cell phone camera so excuse the photos, please. J

Malifaux

So we've recently started looking at Malifaux. I managed go get some figures second hand - Lady Justice crew - in metal. These are them painted up.

I only realised afterwards that I forgot to do the eyes on the Death Marshall's. I shall remedy that.....

I also made some scheme markers from old Tomb Kings (GW Fantasy) extra bits.

Balsa model plane

Now for something completely different.

When I was a kid, I used to build Balsa Wood and Plastic model planes.
I had most of Battle of Britian planes hanging from the ceiling in my
room.

My wife knew about this, and just before Christmas last, we were at a
hobby shop that had these model kits for sale. Now, bear in mind, I
haven't built one of these for 26 or more years. So this was truely an
emotional blast from the past - my Dad and I used to build these
together. Never flew them, always static models.
 
The Kit in question:


Plans laid out on Foamboard, covered with Wax Paper to protect it:

2014 - a new fresh start



So here we are. 15 days into 2014.
 
So what does 2014 hold in store? Well, one of the things I'm doing is a self imposed / "management assisted" idea of actually trying to buy very little in the Hobby area this year, and focus more on the actual painting / playing of Wargames. More thinking, less impulse buying.
 
I've got a stupid amount of "plastic crack" waiting to be assembled / shown the light of day etc.
 
So far, I've started off with a bang doing the Year Of Painting (YOP).
 
Towards the end of 2013, I was introduced to playing SAGA. Great rule set. As part of Christmas presents from the kids, I got the new 6 point SAGA Scots army. An acquaintance of mine was selling off his rule book and Scots dice, which I bought in November, so that definitely influenced the choice of starter army. :)
 
I've also got a box of Warlord's Viking Hirdmen, so plan on making a Viking SAGA army sometime this year as well.
 
The Scots are all done and painted - I even strung the bows, thanks for holiday break. I'm post photos of the SAGA Scots when I get time to take some nice ones.
 
Next on the assembly / production line is my Bolt Action Airborne force. After a frenzy of new / second hand purchases (see my Birthday present post from 2013), I've got 120 figures to paint. 17 are done so far......
