THANK YOU!, and some photos.

I must thank everyone for the kind comments and emails regarding my previous post. During the festive season I have been able to clear a few more projects, and here are some photos. When things are a little bit more settled I will certainly wish to set up the gaming table once more, and record again any work on the collection or games played.

Michael G. Butterfield.

George Mills and Lianna visited on New Years Eve. In addition to a fine bottle of port to go with our dinner, George kindly furnished a traditional-look toy aircraft hangar. 

The local collectables shopkeeper was in the Christmas spirit and I acquired this box of WW2 Generals for £5. We had to debate this point but he stood his ground. My collection really was missing a few personalities to complete several armies, so a very useful addition. Here they are painted and based.

Got around to completing two more figures for my Detroit Light Guard c.1900. It was also time they were issued a regimental colour. These are old lead figures.

My not quite modern British Army, time it was restyled post-WW2, has gained several more figures. The command base displays a patch indicating it is the Middlesex Regiment.

Some useful additions for my WW2 US Army. These are 1960s Timpo figures. Pleased I now have the officer with revolver, and the Military Police now number eight.

Picked these up for £4.20 delivered.

Two more items, an old lead WW1 machine gunner joins the collection. And a few more trees are always useful.

A Corgi jeep in a somewhat derelict state has been revamped for service with the Royal Navy. It was a fun project. Acquired from that local collectables shop for £2.

And finally, a bag of early plastic farm figures. Given a paint job, these can look good on the table. And they cost only £1. Some of the lesser creatures will be returned to the charity shop, while some of the smaller cattle will be used in my 28mm collection.
