Is this still enjoyable or has it reached "that" stage yet? :)
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

There seems to be an air of "phew" developing with this project.

Yeah, that's why I asked, a definite "thank God" vibe :)

Still enjoying it  :)

But I can hear my 10mm 1917 and AWI projects calling ;)

Also being distracted by planning 1/4,800 Napoleonic naval ;D

Did the rifle stocks last night and about to start the leather...

Wondering if I will get my missing arm and/or another batch, 17 days to go  :-SS

They have started assembling the exhibit that the diorama will be part of http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/67166106/crane-lifts-tank-bus-and-gun-into-wellington-exhibition

Done the hair and had a "it's all worth it" moment when doing the moustaches and eyebrows  :) :D :D

Interesting how much personality moustache and eyebrows can give a figure (remember they are 54mm) ;)

Also done the Gunmetal Grey on the rifle so starting to get into the detailing which is rewarding  :D

I have really got a grip on these figures now  ;D

I've done all the 'painting' on this batch  :)

About a third of the way through the touch ups :)

Still trying to track down the missing arm  ~X(

Maybe you should sculpt one or model a severed stump?

If I tried to sculpt one it would probably end up looking like a severed stump :-& X_X

There are a number of wounded poses, a number of painters (including my son) have commented how sad it is painting them :(

A very productive weekend  :) :) :D

Current batch on this project all touched up and will be washed after work tomorrow  :)

10mm Turks washed  :)

Good game last night http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,11285.msg156067.html#msg156067

Reviewed Peter's scenario for our ANZAC day game, very well done scenario that looks very interesting ;) :)

Started reading Chain of Command by TFL, interesting  :-\ Looking to give it a trial run with counters after our ANZAC game

Two more batches of 54mm figures have arrived from the Perrys so it looks like I will have some more to paint - 15 days 21 hours left  :!! :!! :!!

Did you notice any effects from that cyclone ?......I assume you were hundreds of miles away.
But as it was SO severe......

Cracking game, love the use of armoured cars and infantry rather than loads of super biffy tanks :-bd
