Got me a Taube, Moraine and Fe2b in 6mm from Irregular to go with my GWSH2 1914/15 armies.

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Bet you are going to have fun with the Fe2b

If you hide you can't joust chivalrously against your fellow knights of the air!

Got me a Taube, Moraine and Fe2b in 6mm from Irregular to go with my GWSH2 1914/15 armies.

This is just what mine are for - though my armies are 10mm

Added some decals to the WWII aircraft, and to some of the WWI ones tonight, and added some detailing and markings to the WWI planes too



These are coming along nicely now. I think the Morane-Saulnier and the Tabloid are pretty much done now. I need some larger RAF roundels with white for the BE2 though.

Great work!

Thanks chaps.

Having just received some new figures (from the Warmonger Landsckneckt Arquebusier Kickstarter) I discovered that I had no painting sticks to stick them on to prime them. I use large lolly sticks for this - as they fit about 12 figures on, and are a good size to hold - and they are cheap so I could just get some more, but I think I have about 50 from when I ordered the first lot, so it seems sensible to actually paint some of the figures that are on painting sticks already primed.

So I have had a bit of an inventory:
5 x Jacobites (grey)
1 x Red Coats (black) half full

2 x PD Elf Archers (black)
2 x WM Wood Elf Cav (black)

2 x WM Empire Knights Panther (black)
2 x WM Empire Guards (black)
4 x WMon Zweihanders (grey)
1 x Kal Light Cavalry (black) half painted

2 x TBL Arab Horse Archers (brown)
2 x TBL Arab archers (brown)
4 x TBL Arab crossbows (black)
2 x Arab characters (white + black)

1 x PD Giant Worms (black)

3 x newtmen (green)
1 x Lizardmen mages & heroes (black)
3 x Lizardmen riders (black)
1 x lizardmen riders (blue)

8 x WWI British Infantry (black) half painted
3 x WWI 1914 French Infantry (white)

4 x Perry 28mm WoTR MAA
2 x Perry 28mm WoTR light cav (half painted)

52 55 painting sticks in total !!!

Not quite sure what to do....

Could go for quick wins - sort out the half painted, and part sticks to free up some sticks, so I can spray paint some more stuff. Though that sounds kind of self defeating.


edit
Just found 3 more
3 x Roman Ballistae and Crews (black & brown)

Pick one of the nine projects and crack on

Or is that just crazy talk

[toxicpixie]

T'interwebs do next day or so delivery on tongue depressors, couple of quid for a hundred. Add a tenth project! Expand! Don't be defeatist!

[fred.]

TP that's not helping. Having loads of in progress stuff isn't helpful I find. It's much better to have bare metal and finished.

In progress stuff is a pain to store and tends to get mislaid.

I need to take Paul's advice and pick something and crack on with it.

But which one? Empire or Lizardmen probably.

What is this "finish a project" you speak of? Con-cen-trate?
