Fun & games with Pazoot!!!


Earlier this month me and Lee, or rather Lee and me,  as I'm his sidekick!!, were invited down into deepest darkest Deal, in Kent, for a day's fun and games with Paul, from Pazoot, You Tube Channel.

There was lots planned for the day, firstly...
 

Paul had set up a game of Bolt Action for us both. Lee drew the Brits and I played the Germans


Paul has got some gear I can tell you!
And its all a tad expensive too!


Oooooo look? I'm on TV!







Lee looking very pleased for himself!





We were treated to a Fish n Chip lunch at the Coastguard in St Margret's Bay.
And very nice it was too, thanks Paul!






I won't go through the game, as Paul will be posting some action photos and film on his channel. But very annoyingly on the last turn of the game, Lee scrapped a draw, the lucky bugger!


Then Lee was interviewed for Paul's channel.


Boy that boy can talk!


As it started getting dark outside the lads from Paul's local club East Kent Wargames Club, started to turn up, one table looked like a Sci Fi game of some sort while these guys set up a Rapid Fire Relaoded game.


We were both interviewed talking about our favourite 5, which will appear on Pazoot, sometime soon.

The favourite 5 were
1 Something from your early days of wargaming.
2 Something from your favourite period 
3 Your favourite tool or accessory
4 Favourite item from a stalled project
5 Favourite item from a recent project
Plus
6 Bonus - Anything you want to show off or talk about


 So join the Pazoot channel if you fancy seeing my and Lee's favourite 5, and if Paul keeps it in, me getting rather miffed........sidekick indeed!!!!!

What a great day, thanks for the invite, Paul, we both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

The Other Partizan.......Loot



It must admit, I was quite surprised rummaging through the Loot I collected at The Other Partizan last weekend. I knew I'd bought a few bags of stuff, but didn't realise how much!!!

Firstly the last 4 trees from the Last Valley stall.


I wanted the unpainted version, but Coritani had sold out, so I had to have the painted version.
Why an Anciet Greek ruin you ask???


And why all the loose columns???
Well.......my 10 years old nephew loves Greek Mythology, so I'm gonna paint up some bits for him, and lead him up the wargaming garden path, well hopefully anyway?
I also picked up a few paints from Coritani as well.


A bit of a mixture here, all from those great chaps from Warbases. Firstly more wagon's for the Retreat from Moscow, paints, some magnetized bases, for the Greek Mythology project and a new knife. I've somehow misplaced my favourite knife during the move a few months ago. It';; probably turn up now I've bought a new one?


A random buy, this chap used to frighten the life outta me when I was a kid, the Child Catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!!
He may come in handy during the up and coming Painting Challenge?


I'd not seen these before? a wagon and outhouse from Warlord, they were a bit pricey tbh, but I thought I'd give them a go, Skytrex did have loads of other great looking buildings from Warlord, but I'd need a 2nd mortgage to buy any of them.


The previously mentioned Greeks from Foundry, I bought Jason and the Argonauts and Hercules and the Argonauts. to fight them I bought two packs of Skeleton's , who spring out of the ground when the Hydra's teeth are thrown into the dirt. Also a pack of Gods, including the big man himself.
Also yet another wagon, this time from Iron Gate Scenery and some scenery from Ironclad Miniatures.


Four building from the Tree Fella, all 3D printed, me and Lee bought 3 damaged building at the last Partizan.


Unfortunately one of the roofs is wrong and doesn't match the building.
Arrgghh!


They should look pretty decent with a lick of paint on.


At the bring and buy I bought another 2 buildings, a ruined stables.


With a removable roof


Which should fit into my Donnybrook collection very well.


From the same guy I also picked up this medieval/tudor house


Again this should fit into the Donnybrook era.


And the roof comes off too!


Next up and also from the Bring & Buy, this medieval house.


It was only when I took the photos for this post I realised that the building doesn't have a door!!!
So I'll have to add one, if I ever get around to it, that is?


From the same guy I bought these 4 ECW buildings, the chap, carefully placed all 4 an the previous building in a box, as he lifted the box all 5 building fell out of the bottom, smashing one into firwood!!


The offending building is now all glued together and will need a little touch up as there were a few pieces missing.

Well I think I did rather well, don't you?
