Job's a bad 'un

Finished The Charge (recommended), then read Where Eagles Dare and The Climate of Courage, an Australian novel about "diggers" of the 7th Division in New Guinea. Still working on A World on Fire, The Alice Network and a volume on Napoleon's 1809 Austrian campaign.

Also finished a rather horrid paint job on my first Dunwick house:

The "faded" red of the roof is due to the markers being nearly out of paint. I used a 99-cent grey acrylic pen from Michael's to undercoat; the roof, door and capstone-ridge were done with speedpaint markers. Neither type did a good job; the nibs are just too large to get into the indentations. A bit of rubbing with pencil graphite on the roof to "peel" it, but it's not really a good job. OK for home games. Maybe I can get my brother to print and paint these instead...

That said, I was surprised to find such cheap acrylic markers at a local shop; tempted to buy some and have the kids paint some 3d prints of their own. They'll have to be smoother than these, but basic trees, pumpkins etc might suit.

Next plan - run a cavalry scenario from one of CS Grant's books.
