I had ordered a couple of items which were delivered just before Christmas and they are static grass tuffs from Warpainter Scenics. They are a pack of green Rough grass. A pack of dark green Bushy tuffs and one pack of Arid grass set. Now I would like to get my old Airfix “Le Haye Sainte” farmhouse stuck down onto a base. That is why I have brought these tuffs hoping to get me motivated.

For Christmas I was given an MDF laser kit of the Rorkes Driff set which contains the Hospital and Storeroom plus a wagon for the Zulu Wars. This is in 20mm scale from the company Sarissa Precision and the kit comes unpainted. This is going to be my next project at some point in my life. I already have the British soldiers from Esci and their Zulu’s but as HaT have brought out a very large range of Zulu War figures and they are good looking figures, I was just going to do the battle of Rorkes Driff  but that might not be enough now. Suddenly Isandlwana is now looking even better. That is why I brought some arid grass tuffs.

This is how I would like it to look

Merry Christmas from the General

 

This year it has been a very difficult one for everyone in the world, but let’s hopes that the vaccine works for everyone and we can get back to a near normal life next year at some point.

This year will be a very different Christmas for all of us not being able to see loved ones, family and friends, so let’s make the best of the situation as the best we can.

I have managed to do a bit better on my blog this year and hope to continue to do the same next year. So many thanks for taking a look at my blog this year. I have had a total of 66,518 page views to date which is fantastic.

So I do hope that you all have a lovely time over the Christmas period and I would like to wish you and your family

A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS
