The Lurgy Strikes Back!

 Hi!

I've been feeling decidedly rough over the last few days and have just been sent home from work as I was feeling (and apparently looking!) awful. I'd thought I'd just got a cold but when I described how I felt, one of our customers suggested it might be covid. 

When I got home I rummaged out the test kit and lo and behold I do seem to have the dreaded lurgy!

Sadly, I'm not feeling up to doing much but I have managed to get some more drawing done for my Stump project over the last week or so with a selection of character sketches and vignettes of the world of Stump so I figured I'd post them up here:

Assorted denziens of Stump

I'm not sure I'm going to be getting much done today but we'll see how things go...

The world of Stump

In the meantime, All the best!

Inspiration Overload

 Hi!

We've got a guest coming to stay tomorrow so I've spent much of this last week clearing out our spare room/man cave/library and am desperately trying to avoid spotting yet more projects that I want to start up or re-explore as I see more fascinating books that I had forgotten that we owned.

I have managed to get some more doodling and inspiration materials from a recent visit to Hawkstone Park in Shropshire. Its a mad collection of 18th century follies, hills, caves and possibly ancient copper mines. Handily it also has more than its fair share of interesting stumps too!

Not only that, there's some really interesting cave faces that look like they may actually be inhabited by tiny people too:

I've also picked up a sprue of Perry British Napoleonic riflemen, Wargames Atlantic riflemen and some Warlord armoured Saxons and have begun the rather fun process of kitbashing some suitable figures that I'll try and get painted once our guest has left.

I'm rather excited to crack on with the project and see where it goes but I don't want to abandon some of the other bits and bobs I've got kicking around so I may end up switching between projects to stop myself from getting bored or the dreaded loss of hobby mojo!

I doubt I'll be posting again before next weekend but in the meantime, All the best!
