Starting again from scratch

Well it’s been a long time coming but finally…finally…a games room of my own with a 6 x 4 table. No more  rushing to finish up a game before tea. Huzzah.

The geek cave.
The observant reader will notice that the whole shemozzle is little more than two IKEA book shelves on legs, topped by two slabs of pine - but it’ll do the job I reckon. After a great deal of reflection I’ve now officially abandoned the bucket of sand terrain modelling concept and will be going for some of those fancy geek villain furry mats - if they ever have any more in stock that is.

An added bonus to this gaming space is a dedicated painting and model making area with actual real life daylight. There’s even room to turn around should I feel the need. Such wonders! And to think it only took moving to another country to achieve it. 

Sadly the geek cave is still pretty bare since The Current Mrs Broom twisted my arm into going to the Limoges Christmas market and all of my remaining pocket money got spent on hot chocolate and crêpes.  Damn it.

Limoges Christmas market. I haven’t had a good crêpe in years… 
< insert crude joke / innuendo here  >

No sign of the Pendraken AWI order as yet either but seeing as everyone in Britain is now on strike I’d probably best not hold my breath, lol.

Right then I’d better sling my hook I suppose; the archers I’m adding to my Elizabethan pike and shot company won’t paint themselves, more’s the pity.

If I don’t catch you again before the big day have a great chrimbo / festivus / kwanza!

Toodleooh.
