Retreat from Moscow - Wrecked French Baggage Wagon

 


Just a small post from me today, I'm still painting up figures for my and Lee's Retreat from Moscow  armies.


Reject Colin gave me this Wrabses wagon, which was painted a month or so ago, it had been chipped in a few places so with a quick overpaint, it was ready to base up. Originally I was going to have it as a pulled load, but then thought, I need some terrain. So I pulled off a wheel and voila, another wagon for the French to hide behind. I can't seem to find t on Warbases site though??


So a big thank you to Colin for the wagon!


In other news, I'm in the wars again, I've pulled my back out, so, I've been off work for 2 days already, 
and will probably miss the first few of next week. I'm rattling from all the medication I'm taking 
and I've got tonsilitis too.

Happy Days!!

Lee and myself were supposed to be interviewed by none other than Ken Reilly on his Podcast Yarkshire Gamer, click here, last Tuesday. But fate meant we had to abandon the show, due to the fact that for some reason, Lee couldn't log onto Ken's page. We think its all sorted now, so will be doing the interview this coming Tuesday.
Fingers crossed!

  7. A nice addition Ray, you can never have too much terrain (I know, I don't have nearly enough!) bad luck on the back - getting old is a bstrd, isn't it?!
