Welcome to this weeks Miniatures & Musings!

This weeks miniature is a simple Levy figure from the Baron’s War range and another one off of my list. A quick count up and it looks like I only have 10 to do. Hooray!

Give Me Five
Having just recently watched Leonardo in “Don’t Look Up” (see below) I thought I would stick with him for my Give Me Five. He’s actually been in more films that I realised but picking my top five was easy. In no particular order:
- Titanic (1997)
- The Wolf Of Wall Street (2013)
- Catch Me If You Can (2002)
- Once Upon A Time In Hollywood (2019)
- The Revenant (2015)

This week TIM has been listening to …
“Sisters Are Doin’ It For Themselves” by The Eurythmics with Aretha Franklin. Hard to know what’s politically correct these days. Pro women or anti men or just a message? Bound to offend someone but all I hear is a great track.

This week TIM has been watching …
“Don’t Look Up” starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence. A Netflix original released over Christmas and very watchable. Done in a tongue in cheek way but but it’s hard to see government’s or the media acting any other way. Some might argue they already are.

Remember …
Women who carry a little extra weight live longer than the man who mentions it.

Nice fig, great joke! Do you know I don’t think I’ve ever watched a film with DeCaprio in (I can’t think of one anyway (Oh now I think wasn’t he in one of the “Critters” films as a child?, if so I’ve seen that one 😀 ).
Cheers Roger.

Great looking levy TIM, only 10 left, is great going, you didn’t mention how many mounted knights though ! LOL
Not a fan of DiCaprio, so can’t really list one, but if Roger is right about him being in Critters, I’ll go for that one.

Another fine looking peasant, with a very expressive face on him too. I keep hearing good things about Don’t Look Up, it’s on the ‘to watch’ list but I’ve not got around to it yet.

Thank you. I enjoyed the film but know people who didn’t but I’d still watch if you get a chance.

Thanks John. I have about 13 mounted knights to do. I plan to do them and really want to but they are going to take a while.

Good to see another medieval figure, mate. Only ten more to go is not bad at all either. You’ll be done before you know it!

Do you ever wonder, when there are no footsore/warbanner minis left you have to paint? haha Great job!

I couldn’t keep up with the Baron’s War figures even if I wanted to, they produce new releases quicker than I can paint! 🙂

I feel you. They have become quite expensive though!
Though they have nice roman sculpts that look a lot differently. And being located in the motherland of miniatures you could get yourself some Antediluvian Miniatures or some nice Empress Miniatures. 😉
