Since the weather forecast for today was for a high of 13C/55F, I had big plans to do some spray priming outdoors. However, when I woke up this morning, I felt like I'd been hit several times with a broomstick. Because of that, I didn't even leave our apartment but did some research on what colors I will paint the figures when I finally get around to priming them.

 

72 hours to takeoff

 Wednesday,  April 19 will soon be here. We've booked our ride to the airport, received a "looking forward to serving you" email from the hotel in London and even booked a table for dinner in Paris next Sunday evening. Hopefully, Eurostar won't be disrupted by labor problem on either end. 

I expect to post plenty of pictures of the trip, so stay tuned.

 Three weeks from today, I will be revisiting Little Venice for dinner alongside the canal with my wife. I've probably been to London fifteen times, but somehow  I'd missed this area until 2017 when I visited the Warwick Castle Pub in the area. My son was with me on that trip, drinking coffee while I enjoyed a pint on a fine spring evening. 

I think that my wife will enjoy both the area and the waterside diner. 

As the trip nears, I will be posting more about our upcoming adventures

 Four weeks from today, I will be attending Salute at ExCeL for the first time since 2017. I'm certainly looking forward to the show and also to riding there  on the Elizabeth Line. 

After a long break, I've gotten back to painting. As usual, I'm not doing one project at a time is several different scales. When I make some more progress  I'll post some pictures

Preparing for a Spring Offensivie

Now that it seems as if Winter has finally departed, I can start preparing for my Spring Painting Offensive. The good weather allows me to spray prime outside on our balcony, as long as I take precautions not to prime my wife's flowers or planters. Now the question is "What do I prime?".

I think that I only need to add a few more figures to have a full platoon of late WW II Germans in 28 mm  for Chain of Command, so I don't need to prime large amounts of them. The same applies for my late war Canadians and Germans in 20 mm. What I really need to work on is vehicles and terrain pieces, things that I've been avoiding for some time. If the weather remains nice, I'll put in a few hours this week on spray priming those items and maybe some Sarissa North Africa building that have been sitting around, still in kit form.
