Camera deadlined

A wire has come disconnected on the battery charger for my camera, so until I can lay hands on a soldering iron, no pictures.

Jack and I did go down to Charleston a few weeks ago, watched the Blue Angels from the deck of the USS Yorktown, and picked up a canoe. We are going to be doing a LOT of canoeing this summer, so in lieu of miniatures pictures, here is a happy young man out on the water.

But I have been painting a bit. Finished up the following over the last few weeks:

• 6 modern ruffians from Mega Miniatures
• Another West Wind female Vampire
  
• 10 Foundry Darkest Africa Askaris for my expeditions into the interior
• 3 Foundry bearers to bring along essentials, like Dr. Bronner's soap

My magpie syndrome has taken hold and I started reading "Through the Mud and the Blood" again from Too Fat Lardies again. I have been interested in WW1 as a period since reading Battle Tactics tof the Western Front by Paddy Griffith. So, I pulled out a big box of plastic 1/72 scale WW1 figures I have been dragging around for at least 6 years.

Currently I am working on my British platoon, they are primarily made up of the HaT Canadian Infantry box. I strongly recommend you get this if you are considering WW1 in that scale. One box will give you a platoon or so plus plenty of support weapons, all for about $15. I should have the platoon done by the end of the week, will post photos when camera is operational again.
