About Me

My photo
London, United Kingdom, United Kingdom
A mythical beast - a female wargamer! I got back into wargaming in the summer of 2011 after a very, very long break and haven't looked back since. I must admit that I seem to be more of a painter/collector than a gamer, but do hope to correct that at some point in the near future. My gaming interests span the ages, from the "Biblical" era all the way through to the far future. I enjoy games of all sizes, from a handful of figures up to major battles (see my megalomaniacally sized Choson Korean and Russian Seven Years War armies).

Shiny Shiny, Shiny Shiny Shiny

More goodies arrived today. A couple of days ago I'd been left a card saying that a large parcel had been left for me at the sub Post Office up the road. I knew what it was - my order of matt spray varnish. I collected it this morning, but no pics of that.

When I got home there was another small package waiting for me. I'd removed the outer wrapping before remembering to grab my camera.


It was the figures I'd ordered from Dixon.



Nice packing.


And the figures:


A bit of a mixed bag here. Some more "molls", some cops, some casualties, some vehicle passengers, a bunch of down and outs, bootleggers and some gangsters.

I like shinies!

    I have been thinking of ordering some oriental goblins from Dixons. I do so miss getting shinnies through the post. Not a feeling you are experiencing at the moment I think. This Gangster Project is going from strength to strength.

    @ Clint - getting shinies in the post is always nice, so do treat yourself.

    @ Loki - I do indeed :)

    @ Simon - from this batch, it will probably be the cops first. I do need to add belts etc though, to match with the Blue Moon figures.

    @ Ian - that they are

    @ MarkG - well, if I run out of money....

    @ Anne - I think it should be Christmas every week :)

    @ Rodger - and hopefully some fun gaming as well

    @ Gary - whatever do you mean?

    @ Ray - just checked. I haven't :(

    @ Michael - I think it will take more than my efforts

    @ Alessandro - thanks!

    The dixon figures, don't "do it" for me bu they're all good additions nonetheless, for variety alone.
