As ever, so many pictures are taken, yet only ten or so will make the magazine, a few more making the digital version of course. Dan must take several thousand in the course of a year I would think. He must motor a fair few miles too in the course of the year. There is much more to this editor lark that most of us realise.

It keeps you on your toes I've found!
It’s been a busy few days for both me and for GHQ too. On Saturday I visited Hammerhead at Newark Showground for the first time, being snowed in last year forced us to cancel our visit, my take on the show has already been posted on this Blog. Monday saw Phil and I playing out a Pike & Shotte Italian Wars game, which Jon and I replayed on Wednesday evening. The reason for the replay? Well, Dan from Wargames Illustrated was here on Thursday taking pictures of our two collections to accompany a piece I’ve written about the project for the magazine, which piece will appear later in the Spring I believe. Some pictures from the day to wet your appetite hopefully ~

Beautiful figures and terrain! No wonder Wargames Illustrated wanted photographs.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for the kind words William.
DeleteMade a change to be a sky proper upperror rather than a hold upperor didn't it. Well worth all the effort when it appears in print.
ReplyDeleteIt's tiring though isn't it? Or is it just that I'm old? It may make the May issue.
DeleteLook forward to reading the article 😀
ReplyDeleteI hope you will find it interesting!

I hope you'll not be disappointed! The light is surprisingly lightweight.

DeleteIs the ? canvas back drop yours? Did you paint it on canvas?
ReplyDeleteThe backdrop is provided by Wargames Illustrated as part of the process. I believe it's a professional product.
DeleteA cracking setup. I have been inspired by your articles in WI to have a go at my own 'Italian Wars' project but this time in a smaller scale. I would be keen to know where the inspiration comes from to create the feel for the Italian countryside. Very effective !
