Primed and ready for action

Well maybe not action but ready to start painting.

More Flames of War

Yup, even in the midst of all my Hail Caesar work I couldn't resist buying more Flames of War minis. I always wanted to try a cavalry rece team so I finally bought one. Also I have been using my towed tank destroyer proxied as howitzers but never had a staff team to go with them. Now I have one.

Hail Caesar

It has been a while since my last post. I'm still playing Flames of War. In fact I just ordered new mins. My hobby Club Ordo Ineptus is getting into Hail Caesar. I am playing a Dacian army. I have also been building terrain to go with the ancients time period.

Jeeps

I just finished the jeeps that run with my towed tank destroyers. The TDD are almost finished as well. I'll have them posted in a couple of days.

82nd airborne, ready for action

This has been a long work in progress but I finally finished my 82nd airborne platoon.

Two platoons of Soviet SMGs done. I wanted to have the two platoons to have a different look so one platoon has a sandy, dirty look and the other more green, grass & bushes. That way you can tell the difference during the game.

In the next step I glued more sand to one platoon and painted the rocks on the other.

The dirty, sandy platoon I added lichen that my friend Chris gave me a life time supply of. The other platoon lots of grass and bushes.

SMG Basing

I am finally getting around to the Soviet SMG bases. My son has two platoons so I am basing each platoon a little different. One platoon I decided to go with a sandy base.I put on the plaster then sprinkled sand on top. Big mistake. As I am painting the base the sand keeps coming off and into the brush. Miserable!

The other platoon I am basing the same style I have been doing.
