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.

      Darrell,
      Classic sounds a good description of the way Tony paints. He uses a mix of acrylics and humbrol paints and adopted the Military Modelling style of painting.

    Nice artillery piece, you can never have enough artillery, let alone too many especially if your fielding France or the Duke of Urbino

    Your right Ian, somehow I have the same problem when it comes to wagons and the like.

    Yes, me too, I blame you for my hinchcliffe ones, too good at a great price I had to buy some to add to what I already had. Still nice to have non essential stuff to round an army out, course I could do with finishing the essential bits first. ..

      Im amazed that more wargamers havent twigged on to how good Hinchliffe remain, and how good value they are.
