ReplyDeleteI like your thinking, Jon.
DeleteLet's call it Freitag's Fallacy, LOL!
Your purchase totals are very decent and your painting totals are really impressive, all in all a very good first quarter.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Donnie. Q1 is usually a strong quarter for painting!
DeleteThe amount of figures painted is always impressive
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gary. It's disease, I think! :-)
DeleteYou must have a few TtS mats now Peter, by the look of the above. It's always quite interesting seeing what others are spending their hobby money on.
ReplyDeleteI do; probably no great need for more mats at this point.
Delete"Portuguese dominated" ... didn't see anything else on the list ... lol. ; )
ReplyDeleteeh, how about ze trois regiments des Gardes d'Honneur, mon ami!
DeleteThey didn't have Gardes d'Honneur in Portugal, and that was only a French thing? Lol ... surely a mere oversight. ; )
DeleteBy 1814, Portugal was the least of the Emperor's worries! :-)
