I was excited to, at last, find some bamboo for Ronin. This is great news! 100 pc's for a £6.41. There are 3 sizes in total; 7, 9 and 13 cm. Around 2/3 rd's are the larger size and an equal division between the other two. I got these from STK e-shop on Amazon. They are based in Hong Kong. I'll look forward to planting these when I next buy bases.
To give an idea of the scale, this is a Dixon miniature 25 mm figure. Wonderful!
Next up are two purchases from Colonel Bill's Wargames Depot (Colonle Bill's Wargames Depot). I bought them at Campaign in Milton Keynes last Saturday (mkws). This is an annual wargames and competition show and, usually, I go for both days and stay hours. I could only stay a short while which is why I didn't actually buy much this time. I think I'm making up for it with online purchases.
The first is a pack of more civilians. This time to go with the handcarts that I bought with the village elders house.
Next are some bales and sacks to go on the carts or as scenery in the games. I have a specific reason for this as I want to wargame a raid on the rice barn at some stage.
I found this beauty on I don't know where!
This stage will look great as a stage for a town fight. The name of the company is ttcombat ( ttcombat.com) There are also other Japanese buildings to view on their site. I will let you look for yourselves or you may like to wait until I buy some and build them before deciding .
This is where I am with the village elders house I am currently building as a relief from the Napoleonic's.
And these are the two carts I bought along with the above. I don't know whether to paint these. I think I might buy some and paint them for the town and leave these for the games set in the rustic wilderness.
Lastly, these cherry blossom trees from the Model Tree Shop (themodeltreeshop). Not exactly enthused by the models though they are adequate. I was hoping for a little more realism, I suppose. I may look at some means of improving them. Any ideas welcome.
At the end of the month I expect to buy some bases for the Napoleonic's.
Now, what can I ask for Fathers day?
malst du die bäume noch an oder bleiben die so

Hi!
DeleteGuido,
I thought bamboo was usually green. However, I now know there are black, red, blue as well as the green and lighter brown shades we often see. This might make spectacular groves! The black stems can go gray with age and could be interesting mixture. Who would have known!
Definitely going to try Red and blue.
