Okay, okay, I know it’s been a while
I’m not dead though, and still very much in the miniatures game. Since July (crap, it’s been that long?) I’ve gone to Fall-In, gamed quite a bit with my Denver group, bought a huge amount of painted Napoleonics, had some other unpainted Naps painted for me, bought, of course, unpainted lead in enough quantities to ensure my life for another decade, done some scale modeling, and even painted some miniatures myself. It sounds like a lot, but of course we’re never truly finished. So, what’s on my table right now?
1. Inputting my Napoleonics Armies into C&G II so I can actually game instead of looking at the pretty minis.
2. Finish painting up Inkbiz’s 1/200 Napoleonic French (he graciously sent some my way from his first batch and they look AMAZING; I’ve painted up a few stands and they will be posted below).
3. Finally learn to play Kriegsspiel 1824 so I can actually run a game at GhengisCon 2011 and not look like an idiot.
4. Finish some paper modeling of Miniature Wargames Magazine buildings (I bought an ECW 15mm set).
5. Start and finish a Revell 1/542 scale USS Forrestal aircraft carrier model that I’ve had since the dawn of time.
6. Paint up the now put together a AMT/ERTL 1/60 scale model of the Star Wars Shadows of the Empire Virago ship I’ve had forever and finally got around to gluing together.
7. Paint up the All The King’s Men 54mm War of 1812 British Army I’ve put together and primed.
8. Finish painting up some 28mm Normandy and Mediterranean buildings for my friend Rodney.
9. Much, much, more.
So, now that you know what I’m behind on, here are some nice pictures to look at.
-
- MW ECW Buildings
-
- This is a Velociraptor model (one of the Jurassic Park ones) I’ve had since I’ve was a kid, all it needs now is some finishing touches
-
- Almost all of my painted Naps 15mm minis, not bad for someone who’s only 31
-
- Close up of some of the 15mm Naps Italians
-
- Here’s the ATKM primed army I need to paint
-
- Close up of some of these gorgeous figs
-
- Another close up
-
- Some of the Inkbiz 1/200 Naps French, painted and based. Yes, I know my painting sucks but it’s good enough at 3′.
-
- I’ve painted 3 stands, kind of based for C&G II Naps. I want a whole army!
-
- A close up of the backs of the figs
-
- A profile view
-
- I know they are blurry, but it’s a for scale picture
-
- A Lodela 1/1750 French Clemenceau aircraft carrier I built this summer
-
- An Airfix 1/72 Fokker DR1 (Red Baron colors) I put together this summer, but looks like crap because the dull coat went on poorly
-
- A Monogram 1/20 SeaQuest Stinger model that I’ve had forever but finally put together this summer
-
- An AER 1/72 GAZ-98 Aerosledge I put together this summer
-
- Just a close up of the GAZ-98, great detail because it’s a resin model
-
- A Monogram 1/12 SeaQuest Ensign Darwin I put together this summer, ah the nostalgia
