The Other Partizan 2024 and loads of animals too!!!

 


Its around about now, I enthusiastically ask the question "Who's going to Partizan?" 
But, as you can probably tell by the pic above, I've given into fate and decided not to make the trip up. To be totally honest, I'm gutted, but my legs still not 100%, more like 60%, so its stupid making the 3 hour trip twice in a day and walking around the show. Mrs R and my girls are the only ones who are pleased with the decision, but quite rightly and very boringly, my health has gotta come first.
I'm not sure if any of the other Rejects will make the trip, I know Steve is very keen??

So if you are going I hope you have a fab time!!!

I have had  little time to paint recently, I must admit its hard painting when I have to have my leg raised....
I've been painting some animals for scenic purposes. 
I manged to get 90 cows and 32 horses painted up in one painting session.


Mind you they'e all 2mm!!
For scale I've included a Portuguese line regt and a 15mm figure


I've based these horses up, on the metal base they come on.


And the same with the cows. Not sure what I'm gonna do with them just yet, whether they'll all stay on the bases they'e on, or maybe I'll add some onto a camp base for both sides, as Reject Richard did for his camps?

All the figures are from Irregulars 2mm collection.

Corned Beef Leg

 


I do really like corned beef. In a sandwich with Branston pickle and a few Lettuce leaves....Yuum!

On the other hand I do not like corned beef, because at the moment, that's what my leg looks like!

For the second time this year,  I'm laying feeling very sorry for myself in a hospital bed, this time suffering from Cellulitis and Sepsis.

I'm being looked after very well being pumped full of antibiotics and painkillers.

Happy Days!

All this mess started on Friday, so I didn't even get to go to Colours!!!

What a miserable bloody week!

oh well, at least I'm still breathing enough to moan about it.

Colours 2024 - Anyone going?

 


For the first time in many years, some of the Rejects will be heading across to Newbury, to visit Colours 2024. For my sins the last time I went to Colours, it was still at the Hexagon!!! I can't work out when the show was last at the Hexagon, any ideas??

If you see any of us, say hello!!
