With my recent posting, I found that since I started my blog I had been spelling Bob Cordery's name wrong; an inexcusable mistake on my part. I went through correcting my mistakes and while doing so found that my blog seems to be one big broken record; the games seem to be replayed and the same figures used. This is some food for thought on this trip. I am thinking of trying to start focusing in the Peter Laing figures themselves with pictures of them and trying to identify them by the catalog. Of course I think I say this every time I go on vacation. I have started trying to get from my collection one copy of every Peter Laing figure that can be used as masters for casting and for this project. After all, the main reason I started this blog was to try to get more photographs of Peter Laing figures online.
I am thinking of making a larger playing board with my Heroscape terrain. I finally got most of it into a large tote. I am thinking of painting most of the pieces green instead of having all the different colors.

Thanks for correcting the spelling of my name. It is much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteI like the look of your new camper. (I am not a fan of camping myself, but if you are going to go camping, then you might as well do it properly and with the best equipment you can get,)
I hope that you gave a great anniversary holiday ... and that you manage to make some progress with your project.
I also have a large amount of Heroscape terrain, and in the past I have painted and flocked some of it ... with varying levels of success. Flocked Heroscape looks great ... but can make it difficult to stack to form hills if the flocking is not done well.
All the best,
Bob
I tried to copy your flocking of Heroscape; the "grass" I used was shredded foam. The figures didn't stand well. For now I think painting is the way i'll go.
DeleteOne of my favorite shows is the BBC show "Top Gear". I told my wife we will have to watch when they go caravanning; somehow I think with me involved it might ten out like that show!
Have a wonderful trip- enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to hearing about it and your gaming plans too.
Best wishes and Happy anniversary!
Alan
Unfortunately not much planning was done on the war-game front, but we did have a nice week, besides the tornado watch and torrential downpours one night. Not the first time and it won't be the last.
DeleteHope you and your wife have a great anniversary break

Ian, thank you, it was a nice week . What's more, we were incommunicado for the week as even our cell phones didn't have service. It was great!
DeleteThat just makes me even more envious!!

Donna and I started camping years ago because we couldn't afford to stay in a motel when we were on vacation. I the last couple of years we stayed at motels several times. Both of us agree that we sleep better camping in a tent than a nice comfortable motel room! No TV, no phones, no computers.....
