Title: Another Progress Report
Post by: bigjackmac on 07 March 2015, 04:14:12 AM
All,

*I guess I'll put this here; there's a lot of non-Pendraken stuff, but also quite a bit of Pendraken stuff.

As I've mentioned previously, I've been working on knocking out troops and equipment, with a bit of painting, some putting an actual scale model together, and a whole lot of prying 10mm guys off pennies, gluing them to bigger bases, then flocking them.

I re-did a bunch of Warsaw Pact troops (pictured), as well as Argentinians, French Foreign Legion, and USMC (pics on the blog).

I also got more Pendraken Argentinians, FFL, and USMC ready for desert basing, then some more 'green flock troops,' Irregulars (such as paramilitaries/drug cartels) and US for Vietnam.

Then I did up a ride for my modern Marines, a CH-53.  This is not one of my usual little metal minis, this was an old-fashioned plastic scale model that I had to put together (using Gorilla Glue as I didn't think to buy any model cement, and I certainly didn't have any on hand).  I'm very happy with how it turned out.

I also finished up a platoon of LAVs.

Then I worked on some modern-ish 1/600 aicraft.  Here is a flight of Israeli F-16s; I also have flights of USMC/USN F-18s, Syrian MiG-23s, and Iraqi MiG-29s.

I've still got a ton of stuff to get done, but I am making progress.

V/R,
Jack

Thanks guys.

I'm really happy with how the CH-53 and the 1/600 aircraft turned out, and those were new, but the rest of the stuff was pretty much already painted, I was just re-basing them.

"you wrote : "I'm sure I'm forgetting something...""
Surely I can't be the only one with too many toys, so many that I forget about some of them ;)

V/R,
Jack
