Matt - 2018 painting diary

[Matt J]

Well Feb was pants, barely a brush picked up, did assemble quite a few 10mm tanks but poor progress overall 

I blame the weather, kids, wife etc etc (and a mild Fortnite addiction  )

[Steve J]

Feb bad for me as well due to a real mix of things. Started finishing off some tanks this week which feels nice.

I find there is definitely something therapeutic about working on tanks...

[Matt J]

Back on the bandwagon, little but often appears to be the plan at the mo.

Finished samples of the Ancient Spanish range, ready to photo and send up to Leon.



after I finish this lot.



Vietnam stuff - walker bulldog, duster and M155 plus an Aussie Bridgelayer

For the middle east - IDF M60A1, Jordanian M47 patton

Korea - Pershings

Plus the M60A2 starship , which I'm cogitating over  :-

NICE !! (Can't wait to see the final piccies !)

Cheers - Phil

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Looking great

[Steve J]

From what I can, they look pretty damned good to me

[Matt J]

Cheers guys, the ancient Spanish sculpts are great, Phil has really done his research little things like the rings on the back of the caetra and the heavy handle, good stuff!

Also been sorting out my old citadel and gw models prior to our house going on the market. Tonnes of epic and soooooooooo many options for Dragon rampant.

Those Spanish look great, I'd forgotten about this range.

[Techno]

So had I.

(No change there, then !  )

I love your tanks.   The other figs are looking good too.

Well after 6 months I'm back on the hobby horse. Its been hard work doing anything what with finishing the house to go on the market and while it has been on the market SWMBO has demanded the removal of any evidence of human existence so most of my stuff has gone into storage.
3 months later (and sick to the teeth with time wasters trolling up from down south to waste our time after watching too much 'escape to the country') we may have a buyer (or 2) so I'm tentatively getting back into it.
I pulled out everything I had to hand on the desk with the view to a sort (this is just the tip of the iceberg with regards the full lead mountain)



In the bags underneath everything is the falklands range to do for Leon and the gaps to fill the modern vehicle ranges.
Back left on the board are mice and mystic figures which just require the bases finishing (hurray - only had these 18 months and haven't played the game yet!) along with 10mm zombies and survivors.
In front of those are quite a few Vietnam vehicles and Arab-Isreali tanks based and bagged.
Primed in the middle are Vietcong bases and behind those 4 SYW brit battalions to prime.
Back right is some epic 40k based ready to prime- these are adeptus mechanicus and knights (the huge swathes of IG and Chaos forces are in storage somewhere)
finally at the front right are some recent purchases of US korean infantry to go with the armour I already had.
I think I'll carry on doing some more basing this week, finish priming everything then probably paint something that isn't on the list above....
