About books and such
Finishing what I started
I’m very good at starting stuff. Finishing stuff? Not so much. It is thus that I can say with – with some pride – that I’ve finally finished the second War and Peace paper mini storage book!
One issue was that I needed more magnets, but when I went to my FLGS, someone had bought up ALL OF THEM. Now, I could order them online like any other person would. But I waited. And yes, last weekend I they had them restocked: huzzah!
As mentioned before, the second book was for the French army. Obviously I went for the blue cover for this one, with silver lettering. The lettering is a bit smushed, but looks good enough for me.
You may notice the fancy silver coloured corners on this book. This was in fact to hide that I’d cut the binding cover paper to close to the edge, which meant that a small part of the cardboard corner was showing!
Luckily I had this very exclusive and expensive binding material that was perfect to cover this mess up: duct tape!
I am very pleased with the final product. It looks great on the shelf next to its Russian counterpart. I’m going to close this project for now. I might reopen it when Peter Dennis decided to make a 10mm Ottoman range (fingers crossed!).
P.S. Completely forgot to add the golden button I got for this project in September!
