It's the first weekend of my summer holidays so what better time than now to start on my 2021 summer project, a late war British platoon for Chain of Command, with the first lead being sanded and scraped away on some nice Crusader Miniatures figures. I've been meaning to get on with this project for ages, so now seems like an ideal opportunity, as I won't be going abroad this year due to Covid-19, with three weeks free for uninterrupted wargaming.

I am quite busy, however, as with the wife and daughter away I have to look after the boys, taking one twice a week up to London for rugby training and the other up to Fort William for a two week conservation project, which is only a ten hour drive in both directions! Nonetheless, I will have some quiet time in between to get the platoon and support units painted up, which means it should be finished by the end of August if it all goes according to plan?
My commiserations on the taxi service. I’ve certainly done my share. One summer I put 500km on the car going now where. Daughter was at a three week band camp and with her food allergies I had to run new items out to her each weekend, plus pick her up on the fourth. Camp was 600km away from us.
ReplyDeleteDon’t suppose you could stuff the son on the train to Scotland and let it be a learning experience for him?
ReplyDeleteWe thought about that but is cost a fortune and involved about four changes, so he'd probably end up in Norfolk!
ReplyDeleteAnd that’s the educational aspect of the exercise!
DeleteHave you thought about a flight from Southampton to Glasgow and picking up a hire car? I've done done it before for work.
ReplyDeleteYes but he's got so much kit it would be really expensive.
