What are you working on....?

[Leman (Andy)]

I am still deep in FPW territory, so not 15mm at present. However, I recently recieved my PP Dutch 1940 force, and am looking forward to getting on with that. I also need to complete the rebasing and expanding of my three 15mm WWI armies - British and Belgian, with a bit of French support, and German.

After a lot of time spent painting 28mm, mostly Vikings, Rus, Goths and the like I opened up my two boxes of 15mm WotR, had a game, enjoyed it so much that I am now painting all the rest of my collection and really enjoying getting back into 15mm painting.

Andy, what paint pot are you using for your Dutch?
A Vallejo number. My eyes are poor at colour.

This happens to me a lot. I also paint the odd 28mm army for fantasy or science fiction games. When I come back to 15mm, it's a real joy!

Indeed, especially Martin's figures as they seem to suit my painting style to a tee.

I have yet to experiment. Currently thinking in terms of grey green with a dilute wash of blue. It's a tricky colour to get right. The helmets are a different colour, w2ith a dull brass plate in front, sometimes painted over by individuals. The marines are the easiest to paint. Trousers standard uniform colour, but jackets are black. Helmets as other units. Now have space on my painting stand, so will put a few up today and try some colours over the next few days. Wednesday and Thursday are my Dutch learning days, also known as flogging a dead horse. Good job my son is now fluent. Languages have never been my fore-tay.

Bits and bobs before I go back to the old treadmill that is work after a long Easter break. I've just finished off a pack of stray dogs for my RCW and had a crafty day making a medieval tomb for the AK47 FB monument build challenge...

That is nice Neil.  That car must be carrying some French business men.

A refresh of this old thread!

I'm currently close to finishing my Civil Guard for the Spanish Civil Guard. Following that WW2 desert Italians and far East Japanese. I'm also plugging away at Samurai for variety.

I'm also planning some scenery for TCR, a minefield for AK47 and objectives for desert, far east and NWE PBI.

Currently putting together a War of Spanish Succession Bavarian force using 18mm 2D WoFun figures, originally painted by Peter Dennis for his Paperboys. Cuts way down on the figure painting, although I do like to paint the edges, which gives the figures more of a 3D aspect. Still means I can do two pretty big armies in a month rather than a number of years.

A friend has been extolling the virtues of the WoFun figures. Great for getting big armies done quickly.

Caught between doing Scenery, partials and a jungle. AFRICAN figures for AK and some tanks !
Just beheaded, re-headed and primed my figures for Wild Geese and my African Army. Mainly SLR and FN and Brens as we went by the film and not the book ?
Then after they are finished, my British "Old Colonials army" based on a force you would have seen in Aden in the mid 60s ! With SlRs Brens and SMGs mixed in with WW2 figures no doubt.
Getting there slowly.

Here are a couple of photos of my 18mm WoSS French cavalry by WoFun, showing how I try to get a more 3D effect with edge painting. It also takes away the whitish glare of the plexiglass edge.
Oh well! Now Flikr is refusing to let me copy the code over. Just when you think you've got something sorted out it changes again. I swear IT is far and away the most frustrating thing I have come across in my life. I thought the whole idea was to make life easier.

I rediscovered an old friend... a stalled 40yr old project - Renaissance Poles. Originally conceived as a DB* sized army consisting of an assortment of makers but predominantly Donnington, Essex and Irregular. In the spirit of AK47, and channelling those old time wargamers, I have created my own ImagiNation as a minor constituent part of the Polish Commonwealth - The Grand Duchy of Covonia. I spent an enjoyable time creating a backstory, emblem and heraldry, complete with whimsical motto.

I have just placed an order to finish off and expand the units into larger configurations of 6 cavalry and 12 infantry. I had a very enjoyable morning in the shade painting up banners, flags and pennons for the Hussars, Pancerni and Cossacks.
