This Slap Dash Life Jun 25, 2023

Sunday morning Trash n’ Treasure Markets. 2 bucks per box. ‘House of Campaign’ English Civil War figures. Lovely sculpts couldn’t resist. I have the Zvezda Austrians so I think these may match well. My next big project will either be 30YW or Aztecs in 1/72. Also picked up this Iron Crown LoTRs role playing book for a dollar. #wargaming #rpg #MiniatureWargames #172scale

Some more valiant knights have arrived for my 1:72 armies.

I still find it funny they claim these figures are "Wargames Approved".

Approved by who?!

I do really like Italeri stuff though, they are pretty cheap but their figures are detailed and well defined.

The only issue is that they are awkwardly situated between 28mm and 15mm and so you are dependent on other 1:72 manufacturers.

(Some of which are Ukrainian and Russian, so with their own problems)

I am fascinated by this tagline.

I am not sure what it wants to tell me, but I am fascinated.

#tanktuesday A Finnish post war Pz. IV unit with a smuggled in Pz. III which the Finns never had. These are all Italeri and Tamiya kits. #135scale #172scale #afvmodel #tankmodel #tankmodelling #scalemodel #plasticmodels #scalemodelling #wargames #wargaming #hobby #miniatures #shipmodel #shipmodelling #H0gauge

Talked with the proprietor of the last remaining model/wargame shop in Bayreuth (itself a surreal experience as that place is absolutely packed to the rood with stuff) and found out that somehow nobody does medieval model stuff in 1/72 anymore, only WWII.

Also that he has been waiting for a delivery from Caesar Miniatures for four years now and he thinks they might not even exist anymore.

Which would be sad, but not all that surprising.

More holiday modelling. This time a Korean War era Vought F4U Corsair by #Italieri in #172scale. The kit itself is pretty awful but i think i managed to rescue it from mediocrity.

In the case you grew up with these 1:32 Airfix toy soldiers as I did you should note more changes in appearance ... #132scale #54mm #135scale #172scale #afvmodel #tankmodel #tankmodelling #scalemodel #plasticmodels #scalemodelling #wargames #wargaming #hobby #miniatures #shipmodel #shipmodelling #H0gauge #toysoldiers #armymen

I have recorder an unboxing of a terrific microscale model (1:72) of our local, polish rescue helicopter that operates in our highest Tatra Mountains. Attaching a photo, which presents how it looks in reality.

Will be working on this model soon - it's rather an advanced one, with additional, photo-etched parts.

Unboxing video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGrYqW_dZpY&ab_channel=ModelarnianaBronksie
