Thursday's progress: ...almost done now :)

Well I did manage to finish base-coating the rest yesterday... ...but I doubt I'll get much done today other than applying a general wash over the figures (and maybe a second wash over the guns - to darken them further) - but that will only leave a quick coat of varnish and a sprinkling of...

It's funny you should say that ...as I was on the verge of buying some milliput for just that purpose. However, I found some old greenstuff out (which was getting a bit hard, and not much good for other stuff), so I used that in this instance - just to use some of it up. Anyway, here's...

Now that I've got the Pacific book, I thought I'd have a go at putting together a quick (infantry only) army in as short a time as possible ...just to see how fast I can get it done. So for this army I am going for a Chindit force ...using (primarily) a box of Matchbox Anzac Infantry figures...

Just a quick update today ...now that phase two of my British Paratrooper Army is done (that's 1500 pts) :D The command section has 3 figures from the 'Italeri Anti-Tank Teams' box (which also has a number of Soviet, German, and US troops in the box too) ...which are the guy in the beret (my...

Thanks ...I kinda thought/hoped it would be the Warbirds book that supersedes the others (but both that and the Pacific book have 2009 printed in the front - so I couldn't be 100% sure what superseded what, without asking the question). Thanks again guys :D

Since the WaW books are soon to become unavailable, I figured I'd pick up both the 'Pacific' and 'Warbirds' books while I could (just to complete the 'mongoose' set). I was intending to buy the vehicle compendiums first - but as I say, I thought it wisest to get the print products while they are...

Hello all ...apologies for the long absence (and my lack of posts). Anyway, I've started to expand my armies a little over the past few weeks (along with a bit of reorganising). I've still got a few more things to do to balance the forces out (points wise) - but I thought I would post a quick...

Indeed, I may have to pick up a couple more myself :) Anyway, over the weekend I pretty much completed my first phase of painting …that's two 1000pt armies ready to go (though it's taken me a month to do it). The second squad of British paratroopers is exactly the same as the first one (posted...

Here's a look at the pre-painted Spitfire model/toy once it has been assembled: It's basically a snap together kit, and on the whole, I think it's not too bad at all. (note that the stats for Spitfires are included in S&P #56). I've also got my two Cromwell tanks finished (though in the...

In all honesty, I don't really know anyone who plays as of yet :( I just figured that if I've got two small (1000pt) armies painted up then I'm pretty much ready to go should anyone take an interest :)

Awesome work! I was tempted to get the valiant German infantry set myself when I was looking around the internet to see what was available. However, I decided against them in the end, due to the fact that there were no British para's in the same range (and I didn't want to mix two ranges due to...

Right then ...here's the first squad of British Paratroopers that I've got finished: ...which is pretty much as it appears in the army list. I've also received this in the post today... ...which is from a 1:72 range called Sky Masters (cost me £2.99 plus around £2 P&P I think), and looks to...

Thanks. I have to admit that the 1:72 figures are a little more challenging (read: pain in the @## ) than 'heroic 28mm' miniatures ...but you can't really beat the price :) I also decided on the 'fast build' type tanks - as I don't really have much interest in the building aspect of the...

I'm a bit late in posting this (and they aren't terribly good pictures) but here is the finished command squad: ...and the finished mortar team: I've also had a few more things arrive in the post... :)
