I've been busy painting up a medieval village for my Robin of Sherwood project, which is still unfinished but the heat has made the attic a no go area until about 10pm when it cools down enough to be bearable.
I've also been in recent correspondence with Ben Dever, Joe's son about his Dad's figures and I linked him to this blog. He made the following comment which really made my day
" Love the blog! Dad would be extremely happy to see the figures put to good use!"
Thanks Ben.
That was a nice thing for him to say, I look forward to seeing your medieval village.

Hi Paul. Yes, he's a good bloke and I wish him well relaunching the Lone Wolf books. I might even get into them myself. I was on a roll with the village but various family affairs and the heat has slowed me down. Trying to get everything done before publishing so I don't let it peter out.
DeleteThere's something so interesting about old black and white wargaming photos , a glimpse of a bygone era .
ReplyDeleteI look at this and think" that's only about 1982"... Then "good heavens, that was almost 40 years ago!"
DeleteGreat comment from Ben, super to hear.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing the village. It is hot here too and you will have it hotter I imagine.
About 32 max yesterday. I'm really hoping to get the complete village with livestock and scatter terrain finished soon .
DeleteHigh praise indeed!
ReplyDeleteI must say I kick myself for not making an effort to somehow meet Joe when he was alive. I am sure we were both at the same shows.
Yes, I wish I'd been able to do that. I'd have probably been starstruck.
DeleteMust be great to know your doing something right. I inherited a friends WW2 Russian troops a couple of years back and only just got them on the table earlier this year.
ReplyDeleteKeep the figures in action, the best way to remember the original owner.
