A Knight’s Tale for Spring

I can’t believe that we are at this point again.  Last year, I ‘failed’ in the Spring Clean Challenge.  Well maybe not failed, but a step closer to completion of a project, even if not very far.  I thought about trying to pick that up again (I may do at some point!), but wanted to see if I could pick out something and not just make it a challenge for the website, but also a challenge for myself to see, if I can eventually get a project complete from start to finish (if that is actually technically possible!), with the latter being the harder part in itself.

As I am currently trying to write an essay for Uni, on whether medieval society, was a society ready created for warfare, and concentrating on Anglo-Norman England, it was a simple decision to make that the project should be medieval.  Looking through the ‘pile of opportunity’ I tried to pick out something where I had a slight head start with something where I had some items already purchased.  Options therefore could of included Saga (part plastic Anglo-Saxons built), Baron’s War (plenty of kickstarter models that I really need to do something with), Crusades (have plastic boxes for both sides), Hundred Years War, and War of Roses (have Perry plastics for both conflicts).  g

The Fireforge and Gripping Beast boxes for the Crusades are currently on Ebay, so I ruled that out.  For the others possibles, the majority are plastic, except for the Baron’s War models I have from Footsore.  So I decided on this being the project to pick up.  Small model account, variation in painting, and no putting together of plastic.

Two essays due before the 9^th May, means that early progress may be slow, and may just stay at the planning stage for a little, but hoping I can spend for ummmph after that (as long as the Dissertation due in September, allows for it!), but the main thing really is try and motivate myself to see a project through to completion.

Anyway back to the 80s classic (I remember vaguely watching when it came out) Robin of Sherwood!
