Life became quite hectic, but it was not all bad, in that period I was able to visit a load of historical landmarks and museums with my baby son whilst on parental leave and was also able to deliver some awesome works whilst on exercise with the Army.
Here is a recap of some of the projects and places visited in that period:
Finished painted the 25mm scale La Belle Alliance inn by Hovels for Waterloo.
Visited the Imperial War museum and dropped in to Dark Sphere shop near Waterloo and bought the Warlord/Italeri Mediterranean church kit. Its a whopper! Sadly the kit seems a bit incorrect as it was missing coping stones to the room. Thank fully I had some Wills Scenics coping stones.
Finished painting yet another Regiment of Prussian Landwher. These are the old plastic Warlord models for a bit of variety, bought second hand off ebay and repainted. Painted between 27th of December 2019 and the 2nd of January 2020. Still need basing.
Found the Colors of the St Pancras Battalion of the London Regiment in a Church near Euston Station.
Visited Chatham Historic Naval Dockyard. This is HMS Gannet. The site and collection is absolutely massive. A revisit in needed soon.
Explored Rochester Castle. Very well preserved and able to access all levels of the building.
Visited Richborough Roman fort on a sweltering day. Was able to pick up from the English Heritage shop a number of Osprey publications on the Roman Army.... a future project in the making!
Revisited the Western Heights fortifications at Dover. Years ago I had taken my soldiers to this site to teach them principals of defense. Drop redoubt is stunning in its scale. Sadly I still havent gained access to the Grand shaft as this is limited on its opening times.
