Flags

Probably I´m teaching you all how to suck eggs here but here goes :-D Maybe someone hasn´t seen this method.
This is how I make flags for my bods. The flag used is a 1/32nd scale one.
This Flag I printed off the web...you can find tons of Flags there...a lot of them free. For example, Ray at Don´t throw a 1 blog, does a lovely line in Saxon and Norman flags. Also Warflag and  Dansk Figursspilsforening  have a large range of free Flags and banners.

I cut a piece of tinfoil so that there is a mm or so of gap all around the edge, so that when the two halves are glued together there will be a good bond (tinfoil don´t stick too well)  The tinfoil is then glued to one half using woodglue

One half of the flag is then given a thin smear of woodglue, the flag pole laid along the back crease and the two halves carefully folded together. As you do this be carfull to keep checking the position of the flag pole, making sure it stays central.

After the flag has dried, you can crease and fold it as you want...:-D

Putting up this little article is a bloody good excuse to wave a flag in celebration of the good news that Momcha has become a Father!!!!! :-D Wish him  and his family well here

Sherrif of Nottingham Archer (Barzo)

This 54mm bod was painted by my 5 year old daughter...I didn´t help her in anyway whatsoever!!...all I did was show her where to put which colours, clean brushes properly etc.  I think she shows a real talent eh?

Faces

These pair are from my very first post here, Medieval Highwayman, but I just wanted to show that the faces that Alex creates are so wonderfull. The pics aren´t the best in the world but you´ll get what I mean. They are a real joy to paint. :-D
I suggest taking a look at Mike Witakers Blog,Trouble at T´Mill.  Lots of great Wargaming reports. Why it´s been overlooked...I can´t imagine. Makes me wonder though...how many blogs are sittting out there, thier owners plugging along and no-one (or few) have seen them??

Terence the Troll

I suppose Trolls have names and Terence seems as good as any :-D
He is sooooo stupid that he can be convinced for the price of a Kebab to fight for whoever against whatever...whenever.
Will he aid the Adventurers or hinder them??? Who has the cash for a Kebab??

Spring Ploughing

The snow has gone, the buds are bursting,  the birds are tweeting and I thought "why not do something that the normal medieval folk would be doing at this time of year ?"
