Horsa Gliders from Armaments in Miniature

Just ordered a couple of 15mm gliders for Brit Paras from armaments in miniatures. David Schmid was very helpful and his work looks great as well! The picture below shows the deluxe glider with detached tail for my recce jeeps to disembark from...Smile

Projects on the go...

I've made a bit of a resolution. Whilst looking through my draw of FoW figures I realised that I have the best part of 100 US Infantry and Crew to paint still, not to mention all the vehicles and tanks which are only basecoated. On top of that I have a British Airlanding Company consisting of 150 figures plus support and weapon platoons! Confused
 
So my resolution is this: I'm getting on with it.
 
Last night and tonight have been very industrious.
 
Last night,
 
  • I painted 30 undercoated figures with khaki jackets and brown violet helmets.
  • I took a block of wood and drilled 12 holes that I could put large nails in. On the end of the nails will be figures I am painting. It's supposed to be easier to paint the figures that way. It was a tip on the Fow forum so I'll give it a go.
  • I also assembled an M15 SPAA Half Track although there are issues. The base of the AA gun is miscast. Consequently the shield on one side won't stick. I'll probably fix it with Green stuff at this stage.

Tonight

  • I cleaned up 57 unpainted figures and then stuck them to a block of wood and undercoated them all in black.
  • I undercoated the M15 although one of the shields is still not on.
  • I took 37 partially painted figures and arranged them on bases. I am supposed to have 41 figures!

Tomorrow night

  • Fix the base of the AA Gun with green stuff.
  • Basecoat the 57 undercoated figures in US Dark Green. They will be wearing M1943 Pattern LW Uniforms.

Still lots more to do after that but this is an organic plan at this stage Open-mouthed
