Fathers Day 2021

 


I did very well on Fathers Day on Sunday.
As you can see 5 packs for minis from Trent Miniatures from their Caribbean Range

I asked for several different packs, they chose 2 packs of  Rebel/Slaves with hand weapons and 3 packs of French Dragoons.

Some of the figures I asked for were out of stock and with the very sad demise of Mr Trent, Duncan Macfarlane, it might be some time before the figures are available again?

I always paint my Dad a figure for Fathers Day and I carried on the Kings, Queens and Royalty theme with a 15mm Punic War figure of Hannibal on an Elephant.


I bought this figure many moons ago and can't remember who made it?


Well Dad liked it anyway.

    A nice haul Ray. As with Keith, my first reaction was "the bastards didn't get me anything" until I remembered ours is in September.

    Five packs of figures is not to be sniffed at and I hope they brought you up a cup of tea in bed as well.
