Anyway these four are armed with a mix of traditional and contemporary weapons some, like the cavalry sabre, have obviously come from a different source than the normal gun dealers. Again the figures have a lack of knifes, only one has a sheathed knife visible. I would imagine a knife would be a very common but I could not be certain historically and anyway figures are representational and not literal. While I have no immediate use for these figures I will continue to add to both them and the Wild West genre intermittently. I do enjoy this period for skirmish games and a few more Indian options is never a bad thing.
I have even pre-ordered some Western figures from some traders coming to Broadside.
Talking of BROADSIDE, I have made some home made chocolate fudge for the show. As you can see to the right. With the intention of gifting it to a few traders and some bloggers. There is a blend of 3 different chocolates in the mix. Not including the chocolate drops and chocolate covered raisins I have used for topping/decoration. Any bloggers who manage to get some should be aware that "Free Food has no calories" but that excess use of this fudge will shrink your clothes!
That's todays blog post, next one will be Friday. Due to the Show on Sunday when I would be due to blog again there will be a hiccup in my schedule over the weekend. I am sure It will get back to normal quickly after that. SO until Friday, have fun, take care and see you again on Friday.
Cheers Clint
I like those (as I have them myself) and of course the fudge but I didn't get to taste much of it last time as I shared so much of it!
ReplyDeleteLying sod, you pigged the bloody lot!!!
DeleteGreat looking figs Clint!
So sorry that you did not get much fudge last time. I'll try to make it up to you.
DeleteIt will be in separate bags this time. I have just got to determine if I ask a responsible adult (Postie) to take charge!
DeleteNice work on them there Injun's. mmmm fudge have fun mate and Thanks again ;o)
ReplyDeleteThanks Simon. And you are very welcome.
DeleteOh, yummy to both! Loving the Apaches, but my goodness me the latest batch of fudge looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks mate.
DeleteI was hoping that the fudge would have dried by now but it hasn't. I wanted some for work tonight. Oh dear what a shame I can't share with work colleagues!
Great looking figures with good subtle colour choices. You must have quite a few of these now, so isn't a group shot in order ?
ReplyDeleteIndividual goodie bags is always a good idea, as it tends to stop the kids squabbling. Putting an overseer in charge though I'm not so sure about.
Not too many 28mm Apaches, but maybe a group shot when I finish the next 4.
DeleteAs for the kids squabbling, they enjoy it! Each one tries to out do or undermine the other and all the while they are doing that they are not bothering the rest of the world.
Nice Apaches and the fudge looks delish :)
ReplyDeleteCheers Mate. I am frequently told it's better than Thorntons. But that is for others to decide. There will be a bag with your name on it.
DeleteI like the idea of come to Broadside and get fudge cake. Great Apaches too but the fudge cake, yum-yum
ReplyDeleteThanks Pete. 1 slight correction it is FUDGE not fudge cake....I could no doubt make it into a cake..... but at present it if just fudge.
DeleteIt is also taking and age to dry out/set properly. I am glad I made it yesterday!
Nice Clint, I really like what you have done with these Apaches.
ReplyDeleteCheers Extra, More Wild West stuff to be purchased on the weekend. (About £30, or pre order to collect at the show).
