Spot of basing while Mrs Kinch and the Kinchlets watch The Traitors.
Getting the baddies ready for a Normandy game. Hopefully before Christmas.

Pour the start of the Seven Years War into your ears this morning. Listen as an Austro-Irishman shakes Frederick the Great’s confidence! @PrimeandLoad podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas…
Found this - which i painted in 1998? I think. Going to base it and use it as a tow for a 1944 nebelwerfer battery.

Tonight I am mostly basing the Life Guards Jager Regiment. Adding some Russian lads to my forces.
