Extra Special Delivery

Well today I got a rather large package arrive in the mail it is a collection years in the making and I am excited to finally open it up at last. It was sent to me by my good friend Michael Koopman in the Netherlands. The package is an eclectic mix of things I bought for myself and sent to him to save on shipping; things he has kindly bought for me; and some second hand things he has passed on to me. Indeed a huge thank you is in order for Michael for sending me all these wonderful things as well as the few surprises included in the box. It as if Christmas has come in May five times at once. What a wonderful thing to get in the mail.

All the goodies laid out on my bed. So many things sure to keep me going to years to come.

First up is a look at all the various paints Michael sent me. Up until now I have mostly relied on cheap artist acrylic this is a significant step up from that.

Michael kindly sent me this old kit. I absolutely love the Mosquito so I has overjoyed when he asked me if I would like this one.

So some surprise Fimo and liquid Green Stuff, excellent for my sculpting projects. In addition a face painting set which I needed for sure, those cheap artist paints just don't work as well.

More green stuff but now we get into the figures I bought for myself. Some Spanish Guerrillas a versatile set with some interesting figures and some Napoleonic British Rocket Troops who of course are to be Oronegrean Rocket Troops.

These two big boxes contain two full sets within an excellent deal and are perfect for creating the generic 18th century troops I need so that my Oronegrean soldiers have someone to face or serve as mercenaries alongside.

Finally some WW2 British Paratroopers. Much of the paint is specifically so I can paint these up properly. I hope I do them justice.

Well that is all for now. I am sorry I haven't gotten many minis out recently. Stayed down with my family for a week between work so I didn't have much time. Also ongoing financial woes do not particularly help. Still the models are there on my desk all I need do is grab up my brush at every opportunity. Or grasp up my sculpting tools and I have just started another sculpting project which will hopefully be done in a few months time.

However do expect a post from me in the very near future. Something all together more terrifying, but which also will include an interesting story to tell.

Until then I wish you all a good day/night.
