A Sandbox

A reasonably quiet month, hobby-wise. Lots of post-Christmas tidying and a return to work that has been increasingly exhausting. However, I've managed to get this regiment of AWI militia off the To Do pile. Next up will be a classic Space Marine captain..  January has been a long month of grey skies, bleak weather and dark evenings. But this was a surprise this morning, even for our lofty fringe of Sheffield! 

My To Do pile has included Trumpeter Helix helicopters that I was gifted by m'colleague Andrew. They have been, frankly, a right royal pain to assemble and paint! There are 5, but the spindly undercarriages are so frail and seem to be made of a plastic designed to resist any and all adhesives, that I have lost some and so will have to model one as a crashed example and cannibalise it for parts for the other 4. I already have 2 H&R examples anyway. But they can provide some transport for my Soviet naval marines and some light attack capability as well. Although I gave up in fury on trying to add the side rocket sponsons and pods.
