In Search of...but Not Finding

 

 

I went up into the loft in search of my Vargan space fleet.   Rummaging through the 'miscellaneous' pile I found 12 ships/boats of the 'ancients' type. Mostly galleys but a couple that look more like cogs.  No idea where I got them from or when. May be useful for one of my latest projects but there is a slight problem - the plethora of naval scales.  Will have to take them to Gt. Houghton to check compatibility.

The second find was a tin of bits - 40k stuff by the looks of it.  Some I will convert into spaceships but most will be offered at the club for 'kit-bashing'.  All I need to do now is find those damn (fully-painted & based) Vargans!

The third contribution came from an old Sainsburys plastic bag.  In a set of smaller zip-lock bags were 20mm fantasy figures.  More lizardmen, trolls and goblins to pad out my existing (part-painted) armies plus rats, Cimmerians (mounted & foot), dwarves and a few monsters.  Enough there for some serious 'kit-bashing'.  Have a strange feeling that there should be a bag of Amazons kicking about as well.

Now I'm wondering if I should take a break from painting and concentrate on modelling/conversions.  That might just be the way to get my mojo back!
