+10 I generally use P3 and Vallejo paints, with a smattering of GW colours and one or two other brands. P3 are impossible to buy in stores where I live now, so I either have to give them up or find an online supplier. Vallejo and GW paints are in plentiful supply here though, so […]
00 My T-SOG friends and I recently had the opportunity to play a re-enactment of the Kelly Gang’s last stand at Glenrowan, kindly hosted by George (surname suppressed in the interests of privacy). He ran the scenario as a ‘come & try’ game at Little Wars Adelaide in July of this year and, because we […]
00 Within a few days of Italy declaring war on Britain in 1940, British forces attacked a number of forts along the Egyptian/Libyan border. RAF Gladiators and Blenheims provided support as the 7th Hussars and elements of the 1st RTR captured Fort Capuzzo near the town of Sullum, just inside the Libyan border. Over the […]
00 For a couple of years, I have been eyeing up the model buildings from Tabletop World (clicky linky thing) and trying to decide whether I should buy some or not. If you haven’t seen their work before, then I strongly suggest you take a look – it’s simply gorgeous. A little while ago I […]
00 “You know what the ‘Chain of Command’ is? It’s the chain I go get and beat you with ’til ya understand who’s in ruttin’ command here.” – Jayne, Firefly Well, ok, wrong genre, but it’s still a great quote.

+10 After extensive research touring the hamlets and villages of Yorkshire (via Google Street View), I’ve come up with a design that I feel meets all of the criteria for Malton’s Angel Inn (see my previous posts). I started by using SketchUp as the key step in the design process. It is a very easy-to-use […]
00 I just received a model of the ‘Velocitas’ in the post today from my good friends at Eureka Miniatures. I have to say, this is the oddest vehicle I’ve ever seen. Only Eureka would ever dream of producing such a model and I take my hat off to them for their initiative, their adventurous […]
00 Been doing a bit of research on the (now demolished) Angel Inn at Malton, and I think it’s safe to say there’s 2/3 of sod all info out there. This is what I know: It was built in 1711 and torn down in 1880 Situated on the corner of Saville Street and Yorkersgate, the […]
00 I’ve been commissioned to make a building facade by my friend Nic Robson (Eureka Miniatures), to go with his pet project. The building is of a Georgian pub in a little Yorkshire village called Malton – the pub is called the Angel Inn (actually, it became known as the New Angle Inn since there […]
00 More for my own benefit than for any passers-by, today’s entry is a review of what I have achieved in Gaming this year and what I need to get happening!!! Run Little Wars Adelaide. Done! And done very successfully I might add. It was exhausting and consumed most of my conscious thought for a […]
