""Don' t start that again ....you know we got cashiered because of that incident at Gimp... you should have been more careful where you dug the latrines - and when Colonel Campbell and his wife fell in them there was a real stink! . so that is why we ended up joining the French Foreign Legion "
"These ruins are as old as the hills Millsy, there will be buried treasure. - but I don't expect them to survive long with you and your shovel...- its another fine mess you got us into.. "

Hi All , with Xmas fast approaching I though I best get a first entry on the roster. This years challenge will see a fair bit of variety along with more stuff for the Sudan, Brits, Egyptian and Sudaness - there will be camels aplenty as Sander and I have a little camel related "challenge!"
I have some 1980s 6mm to continue with as i have game coming up with fellow challengers Martin C and James M Also last year Martin and I picked up Death in the Dark Continent and Congo , so there will a foray or two into that. I have some VBCW troops to do following a game with Martin and friends earlier in the year.

Ahh, it's great to see our intrepid duo back again for another Challenge season. I was wondering why Docherty and Millsy were in Legion gettup, but I now understand in light of the smelly 'incident at Gimp'...
Lovely work, Dave - I really like the white kepis and the fully rigged pack on the one figure. And I must say that piece of terrain is cracking as well. Is that one of the pieces you picked up at CRISIS this year? All together, an excellent vignette and a terrific opening chapter for the continuing adventures of Docherty and Millsy. :)
10 point to you, Mr. D!
Ah yes MrC indeed that was one of a number of great terrain pieces I picked up at Crisis by German company “more-terrain”
ReplyDeleteVery nice start indeed! What characterful little chaps.
ReplyDeleteSurely the correct answer to "and what are we doing guarding this old ruin for" is a phlegmatic and "Because we're ere lad!"
ReplyDeleteLove your work Dave! It's great to be back on the tools, even if it is in blue and not red.
And Whiskey Time will be getting a spin later today I reckon. Nice!
DeleteLove this Dave. When I see the two figures wandering through the ruin, I thought a perfect caption would be "What could possibly go wrong?"
ReplyDeleteHow long have you got? This could take a while :-)
DeleteFunny .. I thought that
DeleteLovely work Dave. Looking forward to seeing where these two end up.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work and very interesting design of the background of photos
ReplyDeleteNice work Dave! I look forward to seeing more of your work (and the lovely terrain you use in your photos)!
ReplyDeleteStunning first entry Dave, can't wait to hear more about the Dynamic Duo.
ReplyDeleteWonderful scenery and excellent job!
ReplyDeleteGreat work Dave! I thought I‘d recognized that piece of terrain :-)
ReplyDeleteCheers all, it was nice to get back to some brushwork after a hectic month or so.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! :)
ReplyDeleteGrand brushwork, Dave! They do look excellent in legion uniforms. I really like the terrain piece too!
ReplyDeleteGreat couple of legionnaires, Dave - present shovels!
ReplyDeleteLove Stan and Ollie, great work Dave.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff! Very evocative photography as well!
ReplyDeleteGreat figures and +1 for the whiskey time playlist
ReplyDeleteIsn’t the millsy figure supposed to be wearing a more “from fitting” type of uniform? Just trying to be historically accurate
The continuing adventures of Millsy and Docherty - lovely work Dave :)
ReplyDeleteA lovely pair of figures. Well done Dave!
ReplyDeleteVery nice indeed
