Made my decision...

In September to December I am aiming to complete three projects which I'll have all on the go at once - variety being the spice of life and all that :D

1.  Late War Krauts for Bolt Action in 28mm. I have promised myself that I will finish the 20 figures I currently own BEFORE buying any reinforcements...

2.  Make a start on my Polish/Lithuanian Commonwealth FoG (R) collection in 10mm. Hopefully this will be my Pendraken Painting Competition entry in 2013 ;)

3.  Wait for a big thud on the doormat before kicking off with some Arthurian Brits in 10mm for 'Dvx Brittanarivm'

Had the satisfaction of a hefty THUD hitting the doormat today which was my Arthurian Brits arriving along with two SCW starters for a World Aflame rule sets. :)

Got a buckshee week off next week so hoping to make a dent in each of the above projects having already made a start on my Polich/Lithuanians ;) ;)

Can't wait to see all these Hessians - shoulder boards for all love!   Cuff piping!  Wow - make sure you get the right number of Red Stripes on the Lions for those flags!

Cheers,

Hmm... about that, missing one standard, must research it asap!

Managed to finish 8 stands of LH and 4 of standard Cossack Cavalry for my Polish/Lithuanian Commonwealth forces. Now started on 12 bases of Pancerni.

Cleaned and prepped my Arthurians ready for basing today and cleaned anmd prepped my SCW which are awaiting bases.

Made up, based and painted some 28mm wattle and daub fences for SAGA and have prepped based and undercoated 25x 28mm Bolt Action Commando's and an Sdkfz 251. today I am hoping to clean and prep for basing a huge Nap austrian army ready for basing and the remainder of some Nap french I bought a while ago.

For the rest of September I have set myself the target of getting one Battalion of Fallschirmjagers (inc commands, support etc) finished. So far I have made a good start with them all based and primed. Hope to have all the bases painted by the end of the week so that I can start on uniforms etc.

I've 95% finished a mega-mushroom; base-coated 2 others; and painted 6 pixie hats... ;)

Nosher,
According to my dad, you don't smoke 'shrooms!
Never tried myself.
But if you think I'm mad, you should meet the old man!!!!
