 Well it's been a busy Christmas break but it's finally over here's some of the last items finished in the past week, Finally based a couple of command figures for my  French
 I got a few casualties based up for My Impetus Roman force
 And I started and completed my new Fallschimjager company, I've ordered some mortars to add to them






 Even though i had to spend an extra couple of hours fixing the colours, i'm actually quite happy with the end result

painting table progress

 Crazy as i am i started a new batch of ecw instead of finishing the last batch so now i have two part done.
 I glued these boys together yesterday and undercoated them, today i applied base coat, dry bush and a coat of devlan mud wash, they look a bit dark at this stage but another dry brush and they will be right. This will bring my total of T-34's to around 24.

Todays paining table

 Today was a real mix of bits and pieces  Started the day off with the ecw below then after heading out for a while i came back and paint the Indians above they are by foundry i have a few more foot and a bunch of cav by both foundry and Dixon.
 And then to finish off the afternoon I painted up the last of my Roman Auxiliary Cav and a command base
 I decided to hand paint the shields they will do, they look better in the person


28mm Foundry Ecw and wild west Dixon miniatures finished



Well here we are again I finally started the English civil war figures and here are the first of many, I think if i'm honest with myself i could have put a bit more work into these guys, they are foundry figures, quite nice to paint but i think i rushed them a bit so on the next batch that i am working on now i will see if i can up the quality a bit 

Below we a have a Dixon miniatures bar maid for my wild west collection 
I think that i will call her buck tooth Betty.

15mm Fow Fallschimjager plus a afternoons work

This is a work in progress and i have to say it's not really going that well the base coat i think was a bit dark on a lot of them so the camo doesn't come off as good as it should. I am doing three different base coats.  After painting 28mm i must say I'm not really enjoying 15mm as much as i used to.




this afternoon i attempted  to fix the mess that i had made of my new boxset of Fallschimjager i think that I might have just managed to do it , it took two hours, now all i need to do is finish a few more and put another layer on the faces
