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.
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,

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

banzai
at long last progress has been made to my 15mm pacific forces in the way of a small amount of armour, for the USMC 3 m4 Sherman's form battlefront not much different from the eto apart from no stars and they are too small to mark as USMC.

spanish civil war panzer 1's
another day another post, this almost made yesterday but not quite.
panzer 1 with 20mm auto cannon conversion these were made in small numbers in Spain, mine is from force of arms in resin picked up at the first partizan show this year.
the good thing about the scw is not many vehicles are needed.
as a comparison this panzer 1 is in metal from empress miniatures some scale difference in noticeable when side by side but as one is the pz1 a and one a pz1b easy to get away with.
