Pick small bite-size projects like these forces, 10 to 30 men is a reasonable amount. Getting them done motivates you to do another one!


Back to the type 96/99. While i was looking for a picture of the gun to post a reply to Paulr, i came across this picture:



Anybody know if this is a staged picture? Looks a bit 'clean', and i think one of the guys in the back is laughing. If not, i don't think i could turn my back to the enemy and stand still as a weapon mount. Was this standard practice?

No, that's actually a light bone color. I do my bases with vallejo dark earth texture paint, drybrush with light brown, and then drybrush with the bone colour. I just drybrushed a little bit more heavy on the edges. I used that colour more heavily on my pacific models to help them blend in with potential beach terrain! i must admit it looks very white in the pictures!

Blending into a beach makes good sense :)

Slowly finishing the german panzergrenadiers for bolt action, just finished the SDKFZ 251/10 that comes in the bolt action starter box!


taking pictures of it on my copy of panzer colours was not a good plan, but you get the general idea  ;D





So,adding 1 model means: 130models painted and 5 forces done:

1) pirates   20
2) privateers 10
3) British forces to battle the pirates 19
4) bolt action USMC  33
5)  bolt action IJA 33
6) bolt action germans 21/1done
7) bolt action US airborne 30
8 ) deadzone marauder warband 8-9?
9) deadzone plague zombies mob 30
10) unknown
