Greeks & Persians re-basing completed

One of the medium sized jobs on my list has now been ticked off. Granted I have some light infantry left over, but they're in the spares box. Also, there's a broken chariot. I might see if I can mend it or use it as battlefield detritus. But I'm declaring this job done. 👌

Here they all are in their new permanent box. Persians above/left of the blue line. Greeks below/right.



































I'm told that the poplar trees I ordered will be delivered by the Royal Mail to my neighbour's house on Monday so I can get cracking on them. That's doable this week if they arrive at the right place. Maybe even get the French flags done, or at least started.

I've failed to get the toys on the table. But that's task 9. 😎
