My brother came around the other day to drop off a present, he'd found these books on WW2 and was sure I would like them and I did,printed in 1975 they still have a load of information in them and are great fun to browse.
Otherwise I continue to paint but seem to have a myriad of half done projects, no doubt my focus has waned following the end of the Analogue painting challenge, plus work is mental for the moment, but this will pass and I will be back on track!
All the best

Nice haul, the anti-tank weapons volume looks a potential treasure trove for rule writers.
ReplyDeleteThanks Norm, they're all nicely detailed, it's quite nice being in black and white!

What a great present, and can fully understand another rabbit hole to descend. Hope work settles down soon, and you can regain your focus
ReplyDeleteYes, lovely present, rabbit holes can be fun!

Nice collection of books Iain. What are you working on at the painting desk at the moment, another bulk batch of Napoleonic Horsey boys?
ReplyDeleteYes, more Napoleonic cavalry, some dark age buildings, some bolt action buildings, more trees, rebasing covenanters...!

Keeping busy then!
DeleteNice collection and a gift too 👍
ReplyDeleteIt is isn't it?

The anti-tank weapons book was the first one that caught my eye as well. Very nice. It's always annoying when work gets in the way of painting time.
ReplyDeleteI rather like the field artillery book,yes work does take ip valuable hobby time!

ReplyDeleteA distinct possibility!

They look certainly nice, I hope they provide some good inspiration for new projects!
ReplyDeleteI think they will! Nice just to browse too!
