I was working in North Yorkshire a week or two ago and got some time to pootle through the beautiful market town of Richmond.
On the market square is the Green Howards museum. £4.50 for entry. It is small but really good.
The one room that takes you a-back is the medal room. Wall to wall medals, including the only VC won on D day, the citation for CSM Stanley Hollis reads:
Some pictures of painted (mainly) historical wargames figures. The name is a pun, not a boast.

War of the Roses, late medieval figures for auction - 28mm Wargames Foundry ex Citadel figures
I love these figures - but I'm having a bit of a clearout.
Three auctions all starting at a very low first bid of just £1
32 pike
ebay.to/2fbjy2H
21 x men at Arms
ebay.to/2wSOtdK
and
18 Archers
ebay.to/2wSurzO
Good luck if you bid - I always combine postage, but you need to let me send you an invoice if you win more than one lot.

The Other Partizan 2017 - A picture review.
I've just got back from The Other Partizan. Hopeless day for buying stuff.
I've been doing a lot of clearing out so didn't want to be tempted by a random new thing. There were some Perry Napoleonics I'd hoped to find but no joy, so my haul was three metallic paints and some bases. I spent more on the entrance fee and the burger than the stash.
I was tempted by some of the weathering powders and paints, but want to do some more research online first.
However I got to a good look at a god chunk of the demo games. A Partizan always has been about the games for me. Kelham Hall suffered from it's many dark corners and the new venue is much lighter which makes it easier to enjoy the games. I had the wrong lens on my camera - so there's limited depth of field on a lot of the shots... but here goes

A sucker for the shiny games...

28mm Prussian Napoleonic Line Infantry - Elite or Calpe?
I wish I paid attention when I painted things (probably in 2003/4. This is a definite 1813 regiment, but I can remember which. The Flag is a bought one and the figures are either or Elite or I think more likely to be Calpe. I painted them using this book.

Prussian Napoleonic gun and limber 28mm
Just a quick sharing - Connosiuer, I think. Painted ages ago but I finished the basing recently. Horses using oil wipe method.
