Some people imagine the rock 'n' roll hobby of wargaming is all about painting Tigers and PIATs, not always the case!
Sometimes it is about making bases to fit to 20mm washers to depict leaders, LMG teams etc. Hole to fit 6mm magnet from that Amazon.
Party on Wayne!

Mmmm I want to buy lots of boxes of Perry HYW minis and mix and match them for various Ecorcheurs retinues, you can't have too many boxes of minis can you?
I wonder how I can hide their cost from the missus though?

3/ Scratch building a 20mm version of Saint-Paterne in Biville-la-Baignarde.
Nearly there. Windows and doors attached, roof tiling completed. Dry brushed and washed, just painting doors and clock to go. N.B. never tile an octagonal steeple!

Nearly finished the tank scrape for the R35 scheduled for appearance in the Battle of Biville at our upcoming Lardy Day.
Needs varnishing, grass tufts and then some vegetation camouflaging it and I can then call it done.

I know they aren't official Colonel Muller miniature Chasseurs but with a little editing and replacing their heads from Des tranchées aux barricades, they sort of work for me!
Scaled to 20mm.

Any Early War table needs its fair share of civilians caught up in the chaos, even if you are a beefy looking nun…

It's only a small thing but I probably most proud of my 20mm WWI war memorial. A combination of Eskice STL and some custom design. First time doing verdigris and pleased with how it turned out.
