Gone a bit
quiet around here hasn’t it?
I have a
healthy lead pile (mainly cavalry), plastic kits and some scenery waiting in the
wings, but it doesn’t look like they’ll get done any time soon.
Partly this
is due me still being burnt out after the last big game. I’m just not in the
mood to do any painting or modelling at the moment. Another reason is the lack
of opportunity for spraying undercoat on stuff due to little spare time, the
weather etc. etc.
Plus I’m
also involved in the Herefordshire History website. This project, spearheaded
by Herefordshire Libraries, aims to digitise the county’s entire collection of historical
documents, newspapers, photos etc. and make them available to view. My small
part in the noble endeavour is to scour the WW1 photos and identify any details
– for example, can a soldier’s regiment be identified from his cap badge?
The website
- http://www.herefordshirehistory.org.uk/
- officially launched last week, and is well worth a look.
Despite
feeling well and truly jaded with VBCW, I have already made a few steps towards
planning the next Big Game, scheduled for 14th March 2015.
