Battleground 2015

  Yesterday, I attended Battleground 2015 at the University Campus in Stockton on Tees. A fuller report is posted on my other site. But in between staging a Seven Years War game and pestering the traders I was able to meet and talk to quite a few people. Included was the great Tony Runkee, painter to the stars [ well me actually]

 Tony very kindly brought me a piece he had been working on, which I had to have.

 Unfortunately the photographs are very poor, and do not do the subject any justice. The base is a lovely early renaissance gun and mantlet, scratchbuilt by Tony.
