Gisby's Gaming Blog

For those who are wondering why my blog goes silent, and then suddenly has dozens of posts….

I live in Winnipeg, where I cannot lacquer figures outside for much of the year. As a result, every spring I have a backlog of painted figures needing lacquer. But I need to wait until conditions are just right, or the clear coat turns white, so not too cold, not too wet.

Every year, I put it off for far too long, and wind up trying to do EVERYTHING on the last possible days. It’s a veritable orgy of lacquering going on.

I then photograph the figures, and upload the pictures to WordPress. As a result, there is a sudden influx of pictures and enthusiasm every Sept 2. I write the posts, and I am too impatient to just schedule them.

So I release them all until I run out of pictures. Until next year.

Hi. I am asking for a friend of a friend: Can anyone identify this pin?

She believes it is Polish, WW2 era, and originally had a crown, removed when the unit became part of the British forces.
