Last post for Zama

July 9th, 2010

Rather late follow up for the previous post since the battle was months ago, but a photo journal of the course of the actual battle can be seen in the article on the Pinner Wargames website. I would repeat it all here but that would be a colossal waste of disk space for all the pictures.

Finishing post in sight

April 16th, 2010

Very few postings recently because I have been doing so much painting for the Society of Ancients Battle Day, but the day has almost dawned so tonight will just be the last couple of finishing touches. Here the army is, lined up against the Carthaginians they will be playing tomorrow (my Romans are the fuzzy ones facing you in the distance).

Went to see the new series of the IT Crowd being recorded on Friday night, courtesy of an old schoolfriend who used to work with the guy who provides a lot of the props for it. I have never seen a more geek-oriented audience, which I guess is hardly surprising. The most amusing part though was a couple of guys sitting behind us who seemed to regard it less as a sit-com and more as a sort of workplace Changing Rooms – they were running through all the posters on the walls and deciding which ones they wanted to add to their office.

And I found a misplaced apostrophe in an early post – the horror, the horror!
