Actual Christmas Haul

 For Christmas, the wife grabbed me a complete DVD edition of the Pacific. Chuffed about this because it is what I actually asked for. I missed it last year on TV as I was overseas when it was on. And a couple of brushes and Humbrol paints.
 From my good mate Phil, he picked me up some paints and washes from Christchurch, which as the paint supply situation over here is quite grim it was a good thing. Nice one mate!
And my ole chum Al, managed to score myself a Matchbox Album 1980 and he donated me a selection of WW2 NZ Home Guard, Territorial Army figure stands. Blooming useful they are as well. Quite a nice haul I think.

Model on!

  5. Mr Wargame News and Terrain, I have managed to watch the first one and it seemed quite good. The paints are welcome reinforcements and are needed at once.

    Cheers Paul

  6. Oh bugger Rodger, thats not too good mate. I do suppose not having a TV makes for more time with the brush and paint however!

    Cheers Paul

  8. Hi Paul, the Album is a bit naff, but well worth it for nostalgia purposes, and given my Matchbox fetish, well thought out and appreciated.

    Cheers Paul

  11. Hi Ray, I have been hearing good and bad things about the series, so it will be good to judge it for myself.

    great minds must think alike in the DVD selection process.

    Regards Paul
