Medieval Tax collector

An older set which still hasn´t been released but I really hope it will be...how could  Valdemar think not too!?
I for one can think of a couple of good uses for it...my medieval city or a target for my Robin hood guys :-D
Just look at the detail...the crossbow and the crucifix. How small is the figure of Jesus!!!!!
That expression. What a miserable grumpy looking bloke!!
This figure would look really good alone
The whole set up with guards ......I want this!!!
Obviously someone isn´t too appreciative of  taxes :-D  (he doesn´t come with the set)
Hello to Joda...thanks for following :-)

Adventurers (Caeser)

Finally I have made up my mind. I was going to do wargaming in the ancient period but lost in building BIG armies. Then I started 3 medieval armies and a medieval city project. The Medieval armies have expanded, the city project is on hold. Then I thought of wargaming in the not too distant future but the other projects hold a little more interest for me. (I still want to do future shock though)
Now I have found a good solution. A medieval based fantasy wargame. This way I can paint up medieval civilians, soldiers, add houses etc as the theme developes and I can have monsters, skellies and the rest as a sideline!!! A medieval town project, medieval army development and a fantasy game all in one!!!

The morning of the 22 January 1879

" Tomkins" is a long suffering character I invented a long time ago when bored (and probably a bit drunk as well )    to get any daft scenarios out of my head. Tomkins is the one in the shirt. His boss is Lord Brashford. The first photographic evidence of  them is  this
The bod at the back is Achmed...who, like Tompkins has learnt to not say a word but just keep going.  The Mule has no name..:-D

Airfix Waterloo french Infantry

I´ve probably painted the flag the wrong way up or something but it´s a set finished so I am happy :-D
How many hours did I spend lining this lot up to oppose the Brits and scotts?...Too many judging by my lack of a suntan in photos as a nipper.
