Goodness, I haven’t written a wish list to Santa since I was much much younger! This year, since I’m involved in the Secret Santa project run by Chris and Catherine at the always interesting The Blog With No Name. I have a target and I have started snooping that person’s blog for some hints, but the person is devilishly eclectic and it’s a bit of a poser. I am sure I will think of something. I am also part of Chris Stoesen’s Santa Clause project. I have a target for that one as well, I received that person’s gift last week, and about to start painting it, though now I am all uncertain if it is what that person wants!
Now if MY Secret Santa is reading this, I do have some suggestions. I’m taking a hint from fellow Posties Reject Ray R, whose own extensive wish list is totally shameless.
Hint 1
For my Weird War 2 project, I have a backstory that I need to tell involving werewolves in the Canadian Rockies, because … werewolves in the Rockies. Any of the foot packs from fellow Canadian Bob Murch’s Pulp Figures’ Yukon Peril line, including any one of PYP 1, 2, 5, 6 or 7 would be most awesome, and that would be the cheapest in terms of postage, since Bob is just a few towns over (well provinces, and there are some Canadian Rockies between us).
Hint 2
Also for the Weird War 2 project, any of the Wargames Foundry Home Guard sets (WW2011 or 2012) or the German Sentries set (WW2025)
Hint 3
For my Lord of the Rings project, any single pack from the Casting Room Miniatures Saxon range to make Rohirrim foot and/or levy. Alternatively, any of the orcs from Sgt. Major Miniatures - they look cheap, cheerful and useful.
Hint 4
Any of the affordable packs from the Perry Brothers ACW line, including either of their camp sets (Union 1 of Union2), dismounted cavalry or horse holders from either side.
I am of course happy to receive whatever else you decide on, and which you think might surprise me.
Thank you kindly, dear Santa, for considering these ideas.
Blessings,
