The day at the IWM was educating but I remembered the museum as bigger and more to see, well we didn't check out the WWI exhibit or Food Exhibit cause we had the British Museum to visit as well the same day.

The trip to London, or "Are we there yet" Part I

Me, Fredrik and Tomas decided to go to London for a long weekend (Friday to Sunday) flying in with Norwegian early Friday morning, the plane left Arlanda 07:40.  The morale was high even it was a bit early, I my self had to get out of bed 04:00 hrs, that sucked big time.
Fredrik, goofed with his passport and we had a short scare but it was no biggie at all other wise all was fine, except for Tomas littel rundown with Airport security, his boots got them on the edge. After passing the security checkpoint there where time for some breakfast, a sandwich and some juice, there where other choices available if you so wanted as well.

Bording, take off flying, sleeping, reading, landing, embarking, then LONDON.

We took the Gathwik express to Victoria Station, end the we where relay in London, then the adventures began.
Here are some images from the London.
Breakfast at Arlanda "Sprit 79kr" Whiskey and Vodka mm at 06:30 DONT THINK SO.

At the first stop, The Sports Bar in Victoria Station, Fredrik is already lost. 

Tomas, not so lost YET

TYW Project

The plan was to make mixed units with no direct uniform colours but after looking at the units painted by Mr Walker I decided to go for mostly uniform units, but try to mix in some oddly painted minis in the unit.

Was out shopping today trying to get hold of some more Army Painter Brown Leather, but no luck. But I did manage to get hold of some new colours to spice the units up a bit. But trying to avoid them being all to colourful and bright. But I most definite going for more uniform units, I don't know if that's  historically correct but hey its only for a game. Hoping to be able to full fill my first unit this week before going to London on Friday.

BTW just learned to day that its Games Day Golden Demon 2010 in the UK next weekend. We will probably NOT visit but maybe, while we are there anyhow.

But there will be pubbing and there will be IWM and BM and did I say that we are going pubbing.
