last post b4 xmas

no doubt this will be my last post before Xmas, with some international brigade figures finished and a republican HMG team.but on the paint table from today are 30+ milita based awaiting undercoat.

along with 9 nationalist cavalry and some artillery
no doubt my paint project for over Xmas hopefully i will get most of it done and then set up a Spanish civil war game early in the new year.

looking forward to next year Rome is going to be high on my list of projects to do as most of the figures i need are in stock already

so i hope everyone has a good Xmas and gets pleanty of lead/plastic to keep them busy in the new year.

its got to be a first

more spanish civil war has been completed, falange HQ two more nationalist HMG teams

two Republican armoured trucks with 3 more underway on the paint table as i type.

a mighty T26 tank not needed in scenario 1 but who cares i wanted one.

as for a first, today i went to our local games workshop store, and to my surprise they refused to sell me some 60mm bases as they don't carry them in stock and will only order them in for people who are registered on line and not a walk in customer?????

quite how this makes a profit i have no idea but its the first time i've been turned down by the evil empire just for wanting to buy some bases, next step make my own or eBay, being Xmas make my own is looking good,

imperial troops

well being stuck in the house due to the snow has its advantages when it comes to painting especily as nothing is ever on tv,

one 15mm Japanese platoon all figures from peter pig and im impressed how they turned out with keeping the paint style to the minimum not sure if i have enough to make another platoon or not, but at least peter pig now pack them in platoon blisters,

also finished these 2 future wars 28mm girls with guns one from the foundry street violence range and one limited ed from cobblestone casting still got a box of started future wars figures but as the postman delivered lots of scw stuff thats going to take priority for a while

post arrives

at last with the snow all over the post man arrived twice today. fetching my orders from empress miniatures along with other mail, now to continue with my scw project, despite everything being sent in bubble bags no damage was done to anything even the resin trucks, my only fault is all the figures need identifying into their relivent packs before cleaning and painting starts. how hard is it to put a pack code on a bag.

now just to wait for the force of arms order to arrive
