French Frigate

Greetings
This has been sitting half finished on my desk for soooo long. Finally pulled my finger out and cracked on. Not the best pictures but overall im happy with it. Bit more of a rush job compared to previous ships.
On the way i have some 6mm napoleonic russians. Already having buyers remorse as im sure its another misadventure but oh well.
Cheers

Been a long time

Greetings!
So two months *Chirp chirp* yes its been quiet.
What have i been up to? Well Ive taken a break from proper wargaming for a bit, Just dont have the mojo for it and i struggle to want to paint or anything. What does this mean for the blog? Not a lot haha, i just wont post as often.
My wife and i have become pretty keen on board games of late and have been playing them very frequently and including the kids where we can. Its a nice change that requires less hobby time and can knock out a game pretty quickly rather then taking up a whole day for a club meet.
Some pictures of the goings on at home. Love Eldritch Horror, so much fun.

Well till next time.

Might of Rome Vs the Eastern Dragon

Hi
Follow up from my games day yesterday. Played 400pts of Sword and Spear against a friend.
Was an absolute fantastic game, my dice however did take a few turns to warm up. Alas the mighty Qin fell to the veteran Legions of Rome.

Cheers

Qin dynasty chinese

Greetings all,
Been a while but hete i am with a quick update. Painted up a 400pt Qin army for sword and spear in 2 weeks. Have my local gaming meet tomorrow and wanted something to play with. I am well burnt out know though.
Miniatures are all essex which are a mixed bag of good and bad sculpts/ casts, if not a little bland in variety.

Cheers

Vive la France

Hello hello,
Back at it again. Today i have finished of the French 74 Gun Scipion. The rigging only took me an hr or so this time YAY!! Hopefully will breeze through the last 3 ships before i move onto my next project.
Cheers

Land Ahoy!!

Greetings.
Not a lot to report on the hobby front since my last post. Haven't been in the painting fever as much. I have painted up some islands for Trafalgar. Nothing too flash just quick and easier. There is a 5th larger island yet to come im just waiting on some buildings for it. Obviously i wont use them all in a game but i at least have some variation to choose from.
Up to book 10 of the master and commander series, god i love them. If you haven't read the series i cant recommend them enough. Hands down my favorite book series of any genre.
Have also started watching Sharpe which is giving me an itch to paint up a 15mm British Napoleonic army. I really know i shouldn't as i still need to finish off the Chinese. Will sleep on it a few days.
The last of my Qin Chinese have arrived, once i have finished painting the 4 french ships they may get some love.

Cheers
Matt

Rule, Britannia!

Greetings!

Finished off the last ship this morning. Protip: Never attempt to rig a ship when you have a cold. Urgghhhhhh was a mission but i was determined to finish of the Squadron.

Name tags were also added and you may note the names have changed. Have decided this because makes sense for all the ships to be from Collingwoods Lee division at the Battle of Trafalgar.

So we now have:

Royal Sovereign 100

Colossus 74

Tonnant 80

Polyphemus 64

Up next the French and some terrain.

Cheers

Matt
