It’s that time again for MOAB and the joy of the Bring and Buy store. Last year was great so I had high hopes again. This year the store was in a larger location (at last!) so there was room to move and breath. Unfortunately my hopes for new toys were dashed.
There were lots of good things there if you were into 28mm armies, both fantasy/scifi and histories, but I’m not anymore so pickings were slim.
- Afrikakorps in action - $6
Lots of nice black and white photos for reference
- The American Plains Indians - $5
Light reading and some good colour plates as always
- A4 resin flagstone road? - $4
I huge A4 size flagstone area made out of resin. No use for it, but couldn’t resist at $4. Might even make a cast of it.
That was it :( No cool 1/35 or 54mm figures this year (or someone else got them).

| Dungeon saga skeleton archers |
As my Violinist diorama is so big, it doesn’t fit the carry case I made last year for transporting figures. So I spent too much of the weekend making a larger one for dioramas. Don’t make boxes when you are dead tired. Took twice as long and lots of silly mistakes which cost time and wasted wood. Anyways it’s finished now.

| Amy Johnson bust - primed |
Finally today I started on the Amy Johnson bust. Never done a bust before or even a figure at this scale. Being female I’ve got to avoid my usually extreme ‘weathered outdoor man’ face look and keep things much smoother (very hard at this scale) and lighter/paler. The good thing is there is less to paint and really only four areas on the bust. The face, cap, fur collar and the jacket. So at least I only need to work out 4 colour mixes.
