Random diversions

Quite randomly I felt the desire to paint some tanks. So I did.

Then a quick endless spell the next night!

US for Chain of Command

They've taken me a while but I finished two platoons and support weapons of US Army for the BFG. These fellas will be roaming the tables at the WHC soon hopefully!

It was a lot of work and I'll be steering clear of painting anything Khaki for while! Still it's done wonders for my painting tally!

YTD: 177!

oh yeah baby! I'm a painting machine!!

Finished in time!

Gotta love a deadline!

I am confident that without the game of Chain of Command scheduled my US Army would still be unfinished.

It was great to use a freshly done force so soon after completion and gaming at the Wargaming Holiday Centre is always a treat!

This little lot took my tally for 2018 up to 324 which I am pretty happy about.

TTFN!

Deadline: XMAS!

I’ve made more progress on my Chain of Command US Army force over the last few days. Batch painting this many will take a while but will be the most efficient way to get them done. I hope to get them done to use over the Xmas period. Bit of a tall order but I’ll try!

I’ve also started the Oriental Nef that I picked up from Blotz at the Warfare Gaming Show. I’m pretty pleased with how it’s come out. Hopefully with a bit of paint I’ll be able to make the side sails look slightly less flat.

I really must take stock in the New Year as I've got sooo many things started. A list! I must make a list of things to finish in 2019!

What next?

So as the Star Wars Legions project is in its final stages I'm considering what will be next.

It's a simple answer really as The Silverback has been making noises about laying Chain of Command over the Christmas period. As I haven't got a single figure painted for this, I'd best get a wiggle on!


At Colours Urn's sharp eyes found an absolute bargain. £8.00 for an unopened box of Warlord US army. So...circumstance dictated that I was collecting a force of GI's. Works with me! ;-)

So construction begins.....

...don't have any photos yet but...OMG..the Warlord figures are sooooo fiddly to put together...well the arms and guns are.

I still need to finish the last piece of the crashed ship. Its all together but needs another spray which is something I have annoyingly run out of. I also need it for my submarine.

I designed this earlier this year but it took a while for it go into production with the lovely folks at Blotz. I'm looking forward to painting this!

I've also finished most of my Stormtroopers and the extra units that folks kindly got me for my birthday.

I recently got a great big bit of felt to be a base mat for my Jakku board. I've tried a few little tests to see if painting the felt is viable.
