Thanks all!

chain link fencing was made with meat skewers and mesh offcuts i got from work, so pretty cheap (but time consuming and frustrating)

Very sharp edges though!

Pondering about my new challenge for 2019.

Just did a headcount , and have approximately 8525 models (give and take a few counting errors)

About 5035 models are paintedand 3490 models are still waiting for love.

Scenery has not been included in the count. In the count there is also a big lot of 1:72 miniatures (about 1000) that will probably never be used.

So really the total of models i need painted is 7568, and i already have 67% painted.

Just crunching the numbers to see if a 75% painted goal is viable as a challenge!

And for statistics, 2380 models are 10 mm, 1590 are 6mm and 3463 are 28mm.

The rest are other scales, ships or 2mm for example (no i didn't count the 2mm miniatures, i counted the blocks)

Trying to get caught up on all the threads I've missed. Wow, Peter. What a fantastic amount of work and so very diverse. Love the chain link fences but my favorite is the Isengard troll. Splendid!
I should think that it would be garnering a lot of love from fsn as it looks like a cross between a centurion tank and the strange creatures that are known to crawl out of the Mersey at Runcorn.
Encumbered by Idjits, we pressed on

Problem is, if the word senturion is not in the title, fsn probably doesn't visit the thread  ;D ;D

Planning to have a few games with my new the walking dead game, so got some stuff ready to start. this completely binned my mini challenge, as i won't be finishing it, but i really wanted to get these done so no problem!

survivors: zombie rick and rick, carl, brian blake (the governor), sandra and patrick



enough zombies for a first game


tried some different skintones, not super but good enough!

So,adding 20 models means: 702 models painted ! Hope i can reach 750 by new year!

petercooman
