Mongols in Spice Jars
Well itβs my birthday today so the girls took me on a 2mile hike to build up an appetite for lunch at our local, the Five Flags Hotel. We have a great Guv and a great friendly team that makes a drink and a meal a very pleasant outing, I canβt believe that we have been regulars for over two years.
Well I liked the Samurai figures so much I thought I would do the Mongols from Zvezda (as good as the Samurai set) in the same way as I received such a positive response from the first lot.
Thanks everyone!

Happy belated birthday, Pat! It sounds like it was a good one too π Seeing some Mongols is a nice surprise. I think they’re one of the interesting and underrated global empires in history. Mongol warriors looked impressive as well. You did a great job with this group and I’ll be curious to see what you tackle next!

Thanks Jeff, I have to say birthdays at 68 are not quite as exciting as a kid π π but we did have a fun day , fortunately the didnβt want to play games after a big lunchπ. Yep the Mongols as you say are underrated for a mob that did so much in the world at that time, and as you say they were a great come down from the Samurai as were just as good to paint even if they werenβt as flamboyant. I still have a few more Samurai to finish but after that I need to clear up a motley crew of unfinished things to keep in line with my promise to myself that I wouldnβt be so slack this year π π , well maybe fingers crossed π€.

I may be 37 but I can relate to what you’re saying. Each birthday seems a little less special than the last and not just because my age goes up each time either π I look forward to seeing what unpainted stuff you’ve got. I bet you have some interesting stuff kicking around!

The problem is Jeff mate is that itβs painted but Iβm trying to think how to use them as I have developed a fear of making them to big π π π and even the lounge room is full π³not only the shed π€. As for the unpainted I dare not look π as It would scare the crap out of me as I would have to live another thirty years to even come near dealing with that lotπ€ͺ.

Haha, well that sounds like two separate problems then! I hope you’re able to find a solution and that your wife doesn’t throw away your unpainted lot anytime soon π
