I am a lucky lad, I have 4 beautiful daughters, who understand that their Dad likes to play with soldiers!
They asked me what I'd like for Father's Day, as I'd already bought Barry Hilton's Mad For War rules at Broadside the other week, I thought it'd be a good idea to get some ships?
Or rather give in to inevitability and get some ships.....
An English Squadron for the 2nd Anglo/Dutch War
And a Dutch squadron too!
With a few freebies from Barry!
A 40, 80 and 100 gun English ship
A big thanks you to Emily, Abi, Holly and Nieve xxxx
for my pressies!!!
A "lucky lad" indeed, Ray, with a cracking Father's Day haul..!! Looking forward to seeing those ships built and painted.
ReplyDeleteMe too Simon, although the way I'm going they might have to be put by for the next Challenge??
DeleteWhat an excellent haul from very understanding offspring.
ReplyDeleteThey're good girls and know how to make Daddy a happy chappy!
DeleteYou’ve struck gold twice Ray - with the ships and with four lovely daughters! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteCheers Mike!

ReplyDeleteWhy thank you Sir!!!
DeleteGreat Father's day haul Ray, you have brought your daughters up well!

DeleteGreat haul - those ships are going to paint up splendidly.

DeleteVery lucky to have daughters supporting your hobby
ReplyDeleteI dunno about supporting me, it just gives them more opportunity to take the pi$$!
