Captain's Blog will provide an audience, or in other words motivation, to stimulate my war game miniature painting productivity. In Halifax, we had a great group of gamers and we were constantly in competition with each other. I do not have the same community support in Montreal. I hope that by blogging regularly that I will force myself to paint more. Are you up to the challenge?

I picked up this resin kit on sale years ago, and finally painted it about 2017. I am in a state of having to downside and I am making my way through my various storage boxes. This is an item I will keep, but I don't think I ever posted it to my blog. The AHPC is keeping me busy painting on new projects, but I may be resorting to unpublished items to provide my own Blog with a little more content. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">The troops used to provide scale are Dark Age 15mm Essex Welsh that I purchased at Cangames in the early years of this century. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix2io-E7fmazNjVs0pZcU3qr6UVRn0k7wk3cGHIJf99IctBL9vDmFg8ueEjdnALRLQPZIY7-e_r3SCs97vwSHdEabTllJEJ2MWHKA7WxUAePihBT3hoQp2Az6OenXYllrkb2pcUidR6fmsuMkCCW_SBQ3uO-iBXy08EUmaE6B06iw8KspOoKgelsWi2w/s4032/IMG_3988.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix2io-E7fmazNjVs0pZcU3qr6UVRn0k7wk3cGHIJf99IctBL9vDmFg8ueEjdnALRLQPZIY7-e_r3SCs97vwSHdEabTllJEJ2MWHKA7WxUAePihBT3hoQp2Az6OenXYllrkb2pcUidR6fmsuMkCCW_SBQ3uO-iBXy08EUmaE6B06iw8KspOoKgelsWi2w/w400-h300/IMG_3988.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggKUzj6ZwhPUYOPvqq8LGsz-HWSNyKUC3TbI3TKRW3afKDhWfIzANpUogPki8PZH396KBAchn88BAN97vxaPW3IpeE8jKkq4DLlotQgCSfIcTZNsAWuTYN4mfDDVW_gHoJr6UvNb7QYPNYuNi8p5RlpqkBgoAlps2un3JiccMz3pZhdrL9xcVaD7sadg/s4032/IMG_3989.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggKUzj6ZwhPUYOPvqq8LGsz-HWSNyKUC3TbI3TKRW3afKDhWfIzANpUogPki8PZH396KBAchn88BAN97vxaPW3IpeE8jKkq4DLlotQgCSfIcTZNsAWuTYN4mfDDVW_gHoJr6UvNb7QYPNYuNi8p5RlpqkBgoAlps2un3JiccMz3pZhdrL9xcVaD7sadg/w400-h300/IMG_3989.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRU0QtuxzOKYQVS_wBf6LDN1Mbm45VDTAAwFoeuMxf44fJftlwxmKujobsDzXt1CFjlVyiL9ApUnCHmqF-Slm53WxehOdMkOSOnOLWCTCb20lOFJb3d8RqIGwrvMoPAqF58zDxjUxgV2V1otAGf5r8YZIQwE_GKGX44-MdYKSAeGWiYLoEj2OyZysb0w/s4032/IMG_3990.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRU0QtuxzOKYQVS_wBf6LDN1Mbm45VDTAAwFoeuMxf44fJftlwxmKujobsDzXt1CFjlVyiL9ApUnCHmqF-Slm53WxehOdMkOSOnOLWCTCb20lOFJb3d8RqIGwrvMoPAqF58zDxjUxgV2V1otAGf5r8YZIQwE_GKGX44-MdYKSAeGWiYLoEj2OyZysb0w/w400-h300/IMG_3990.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUVFv-uxY3v1qWGI66YZ9qTAU22ixvVBIs1uLyg7rT47yf7saL5glDyHvJ3PLKjYmYAJXaVO4lKuErQP23rgkifUKyWlFEq1dgHVYc8YjjvbMNReREc6shyopayEmpyvRy6SdzqDWscOVxaLAcqJbtTPSVKrksIFWl2xjgyLihkpR5Hj0jaTDbmuR4TA/s4032/IMG_3991.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUVFv-uxY3v1qWGI66YZ9qTAU22ixvVBIs1uLyg7rT47yf7saL5glDyHvJ3PLKjYmYAJXaVO4lKuErQP23rgkifUKyWlFEq1dgHVYc8YjjvbMNReREc6shyopayEmpyvRy6SdzqDWscOVxaLAcqJbtTPSVKrksIFWl2xjgyLihkpR5Hj0jaTDbmuR4TA/w400-h300/IMG_3991.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">The Welsh Dark Age Army (DBA III/19) was a really decent purchase.

Flying Officer Fisk has completed numerous successful operational sorties and has at all times shown the utmost determination to engage the enemy. In March 1945 he was returning from a successful mine-laying sortie in Baltic waters when his aircraft was attacked by an enemy fighter. Due entirely to Flying Officer Fisk's determination and his skillful handling of the aircraft the enemy aircraft was shot down in flames. Immediately after this incident another fighter was sighted which shadowed his aircraft with great persistence. This attacker was eventually shaken off. Throughout this incident and in all his sorties Flying Officer Fisk has displayed able captaincy and gallantry.</div><div><br /></div><div>F/O James POLLOCK (J37724) - also received the Distinguished Flying Cross - No.626 Squadron - Award effective 8 September 1945 as per London Gazette dated 25 September 1945. Citation as follows: As air bomber this officer has completed numerous sorties. On one sortie in March 1945, an enemy aircraft was sighted. Flying Officer Pollock immediately manned his guns and attacked the aircraft which was seen to burst into flames. His action probably saved his aircraft and the lives of his crew. Flying Officer Pollock has always shown tenacity and skill and has been a great asset to his crew.</div><div><br /></div><div>Operational Sorties preformed by 626 Squadron between November 1943 and the end of the war. The squadron flew 2,728 sorties during the war for the loss of 49 aircraft.

Due to the depth of the figures I have mounted them on an 80mm deep base. Sixty wasn't going to be enough. The previous bases were mixes of carboard and plastic. I have replaced all with MDF bases with a magnetic bottom. Other than being cool looking figures I am not quite sure where they fit into my gaming needs. Perhaps in a Daredevils Lost World setting, or somewhere in a Space 1889 context on Venus. </span><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjFZwPkYfB53GwrlAreCZ5ar0eQtx_xdwK38cC08Cf-164UmNhaHau1PEjSZl1LMEX0ccscr9Zvi2ioGyHJlEocX8ZF9M6wQjTMbiZtst9kA3j_zLJ5irHJZnxIqAYGchUssBL3cMX39JjPIVWGrHoU2z5Onn7HdEQDJMVH-1sVT7EafVIfQ-Fz-Fpfg/s4032/IMG_3801.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjFZwPkYfB53GwrlAreCZ5ar0eQtx_xdwK38cC08Cf-164UmNhaHau1PEjSZl1LMEX0ccscr9Zvi2ioGyHJlEocX8ZF9M6wQjTMbiZtst9kA3j_zLJ5irHJZnxIqAYGchUssBL3cMX39JjPIVWGrHoU2z5Onn7HdEQDJMVH-1sVT7EafVIfQ-Fz-Fpfg/w400-h300/IMG_3801.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p>rhingleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05084435959839601918noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6631548523063008708.post-78946176049962258012022-11-04T13:43:00.003-04:002022-11-04T17:56:35.900-04:00Arcane Academics - A Simple Wooden Goblet<p> <span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">My 2nd offering from Bob Murch's <a href="https://pulpfigures.com/" target="_blank">Arcane Academics</a> is that of PMH-5, Shrine of the Grail.
