My Representation of the Irish Brigade. My games will be played using the Brigade as the smallest element of command and control, using Great Captain rules. Both flags are by GMB Changed to 28mm as the price of 10mm is a disgrace

Hi everyone I'm back thanks for sticking by me

Got a few pics of things I've been working on, seem to have my mojo back so cramming in as much as possible while its here haha

Sorry everyone been a while

Hope everyone who visits my humble corner of the blogasphere is fit and well. Again real life has taken over, and my other passion in life Boxing has taken up most of my time as I run an amateur boxing club with a good friend of mine. We're both fill coaches now so I'm enjoying that getting the kids off the street give them focus and direction.
I've also been suffering from total painters block, can't look at my own figures, haven't picked up a brush for a long time. Hopefully today I'm going to start again haha  I'll keep you posted.
One final thought, and a RANT!!! I have stopped going over as much to the TMP Site due to what I can only describe as systematic Bullying by a few members and directed at one man, who does post on a regular basis, and I must say from my point of view I enjoy his posts some are good others not so  to me, but might be for others. At the end of the Day in modern Society this man has to the right to post what he wants to, without suffering what can only be described as childish taunts and abuse from so called grown men, I should had put that differently, as I class any Bully as a Rat and a Coward. Doesn't matter to me where people do it hiding in a gang or behind a computer screen. If people don't want to read his posts then don't read them its really that simple, stifle him as I have done to those that use bully boy tactics. Ive seen first hand what bullying does to people both adults and children physically and mentally. Rant now over haha now where are my brushes.
Have a great weekend everyone
All the best Sean

Been a while, but a quick post

Sorry to all who visit but its been a while since my last post but as usual real life has taken me from my paint table,Been back to Bonnie Scotland. The following pics are some figures I painted for Jason as a gift for being the only one to comment on my 10,000 page view post

As always the figures are 10mm Pendraken early medieval figures. You can see the finished figures over at Jason's blog and his entry for the painting competition which looks beautiful. I wish him luck with that http://grandscalewargaming.blogspot.co.uk/. Hopefully I will get back to painting soon and post more.
Have a great week ahead
all the best

Another loss to boxing

R.I.P Ken Norton, gone but never Forgotten, great boxer, fearsome puncher. One of the all time greats.

R.I.P. Dean Powell

Shocked at the news, Dean Powell had died. A sad Day for Boxing, the loss of a great coach, match maker, and a nice guy. Gone but never forgotten. My thoughts and sympathy to his family and friends.

The 500th Anniversary of the Battle of Flodden

Since I live in Newcastle Upon Tyne This battle is on my doorstep,  and It has always been one of my favourite battles. I went with my youngest son and three good friends of mine. We met up with a huge group on Pipers hill and waited for things to get underway. Wreath laying for the fallen on both sides, A piper who knocked out a few Scottish tunes. Then the bit I wanted Mr Clive Hallam Baker started the battlefield walk. first looking at the weapons used on the day, Pike, cannon balls, billhooks swords and longbow, complete with arrows which in itself was Fascinating amazing technology behind them. Then out onto the battlefield starting with the first action on the Scottish left the ground here being well suited to the pike blocks. I won't bore you with the details, needless to say the few hours we walked and listened flew by. A huge thank you has to go to Clive for such an informative Talk. The field is well worth a visit. Our first thought was why the hell would the scots give up such a commanding postion but all the parts fall into place, one you look at the ground and listen to Clive's narrative of the battle. what surprised me most was a ridge hallway down Pipers hill in the English center at least 20 feet higher than the bottom of the valley virtually invisible to both sides. It was still a strange feeling standing on  ground where 500 years ago so many fell.

The monument to the fallen of both nations top of Pipers hill

A closer look at the wreaths layed on the day

A picture left to right me looking cool haha Peter, Craig. Peter, who all enjoyed the day

Last one, a picture looking from James division on the Scottish right wing over to the English centre, the picture gives an impression of how steep the ground is (nearly killed me to climb it haha)
Hope you liked it. Have a great week
All the best

Hi everyone New pics up

As promised I've uploaded some new pics of my Carthaginian heavy Nellies (I call them that because I can't spell Elephants, wink wink). I have a severe case of man flu so i'm under the weather I know you guys know what I mean when I say severe

sorry about the pics still using my phone. The one with the green cloth, the infantry are conversions, simple but the supplied ones were no good.
Hope you like them will post more pics next week.
Take care enjoy the weekend

Claymore show

Another great friendly show, really enjoyed it some great games on show, and my favourite trade stand Pendraken. I paid for some pre-order figures and walked away happy with my purchases, only to find myself being drawn mystically back, i'm sure Leon And Dave and their stand are Sirens (mmm maybe not the beautiful ones from greek mythology, must make an eye test appointment) luring the unsuspecting gamer to their financial doom HAHA, (Just teasing guys) I ended up buying a WW1 Early French army and more paint as if I need more lead to add to the mountain. All in all great day, spent with friends a few beers thrown in later  can life get much better
All the best

Hi everyone

Thanks to everyone who visits my page, and those of you who are kind enough to follow my painfully slow progress.  I'm sorry things have been quiet as of late but I've been so busy with work and life I suppose, but I will post some pictures this week I promise. Been working on British cavalry for the 45', another clan unit the Stewarts of Appin, also more Carthaginians Heavy Nellies, and I've finished my roman infantry pack (WOULD HAVE BEEN QUICKER TO TRAIN AN ACTUAL LEGION )
I also decided to upgrade my heavy citizen infantry from 8 per base to 10, so all need re-basing. I will post some pics this week
Have a great week everyone
