Wargamer lacking in focus with too many projects on the go and too many unfinished and unplayed. Wargaming on and off since the 70s. My blog: https://blog.belisarius.org.uk Whitley Bay, UK

My arthritis can't cope with the trip to Newark for The Other Partizan on Sunday, so I made a little tribute video to encourage others to go – and to please post lots of pics online afterwards!

Spent time seeking out some buildings from the depths of the attic for the game on Saturday. And in the process I found my Blood and Plunder Sloop. So primed it... Seeing as I'm still in a nautical mood...

Five painted resin buildings. Middle Eastern flat roofed buildings. One with a small dome. All sitting on a black chair.

Glacial progress on the solo game, but the invaders have turned up and have an airstrike going in ahead of the landing forces.

Finally finished the piraty dudes. 28mm Foundry Miniatures. Always nice to paint. Might have to grab another pack or two at Partizan next Sunday.

First town bases done. I'll start on the next one during the week. A bit amateur in places but I'm happy with it

Most pleasant dog walk along the front from Whitley Bay to Cullercoats this afternoon. Sea were a bit choppy.

Then coffee and cake...

After being prompted by @tabletopbill.bsky.social I dug out a solitary 'General' magazine in my Stash-That-Must-Go.

A real oldie from autumn 1968. Might be a collector out there who wants/needs this?

It's free, just pay postage to wherever it has to go. UK-based.

Only minor daubage again.

Gin o'clock. Had a week off the alcohol and on a serious diet so after a good weight loss this week I deserve a reward...

Almost finished the Foundry pirates...one more session tomorrow...

Whites still coming out grey so need to sort that...
