Well the year has flown! It has been quite a busy past two months with work, new ERP systems, new procedures, Christmas entertaining , Ashes cricket (pretty good from this part of the globe on this occasion let me tell you!) and just a little bit of wargaming in the Sudan period.
The club has moved to a new location in North Perth with a bar, BBQ on Wednesday nights (Hamburger and a pint for $10.00 anyone?) and the atmosphere is sensational. Great little place and the members all seem pretty happy.
Christmas mail arriving into port whilst operations go on in the distance. |
The lads are all ready for a quiet rest...only for a little while though. |
Can never have enough Imperial troops you know! |
As well as these chaps...though some still need their bases finished. Small project in January perhaps. |
I wonder if the Boxing Day sales will be this quiet in your neck of the woods |
Though the locals always know where to find a bargain, just off the beaten track. |
I hope that you all have a wonderful Christmas and New Year and that your families and friends are safe and well. Here's hoping there is a small metal or book gaming delight in your stocking on Christmas morning.
For me I cannot wait for Christmas night with a glass of port, some walnuts to crack by my side, a slice of Dundee Cake and a good book whilst the boys enjoy their toys and my wife a good movie.
Heavenly!
All the best, but I'm sure glad I'm not in the Sudan.
ReplyDeleteA Merry Christmas to you and yours
ReplyDeleteThe Eureka civilian scenes look great
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your projects with us. It's been a real treat. A Merry Christmas and a Peaceful New Year to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas to you too Carlo - really enjoyed all the Sudan stuff you have done and would definitely like a PDF of the rules.
ReplyDeleteHere s to 2014 !
Me too for the PDF... the blog has been an oasis of excellence this year - fantastic effort and I look forward to more
ReplyDeleteJust lovely Old Chap just lovely
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful collection you have, and that's quite a Christmas treat for us!
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get the buildings from? Are they scratch built, or purchased, and do they have usable interiors?
Looking great like always Carlo. I am also very interested in a PDF of the rules and event cards.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the lovely comments fellas - as always greatly appreciated. Rob the buildings are all scratch built and I have several modular collections of buildings which are visible in various posts. These all have roofs which do come off so troops can be placed inside.
ReplyDeleteThanks to Eureka those civillians really are very good and quite adaptable. These particular fellows have seen the Sudan columns pass by, US Marines creep past, Saracens and Crudaders charge into each other etc. Lovely figures and compliment the Connoissuer models very well.
Fabulous looking terrain.
ReplyDeleteCan you remember what colours you used to paint the desert?
