Comrades to Arms ! (9) - WIP 1st Company

Greetings troops,

This evening I was able to get in a paint night with Steve.  It was a great time.  Tasty adult beverages were consumed and Enemy at the Gates was the movie to make the paint flow. I was able to get the bases finished as far as paint goes.  Humidity has put a slow on my matte.  I was also able to finish up the first paint to my anti-tank platoon ( and a first coat of wash)

 Tasty adult beverages ....

 Steve's Assault Company of SMGs ... lovely sculpts. I will getting some of these for sure.

Jedi Master and mentor, Steve of WWPD fame at work ...

Enjoy the pics, be safe ...

Keep the Paint flowing and the Dice rolling ....

New Lt ! US Army Vs Italians

Greeting Troops,

Steve and I were able to get a game in on Tuesday evening.  I was running Americans against Steve's Italians.  Since school has been hard on gaming time, Steve took the time to use this game as a learning mission as well as a dusting of my cobwebs in the brain.  It was a great battle and I learned tons ! I have found some additions to my American forces for future painting as well ! Thanks to Steve for the learning experience, it will be put to good use !

You can catch the AAR at Steve's site ... What Would Patton Do ?

Enjoy !

Be safe ... Keep the paint flowing and the dice rolling !

Thank You

Greetings troops,

As we here in the States celebrate Memorial Day, I want to extend a heartfelt thanks to all those who served our country past and present ... without those who served or serving we would not have the freedoms we enjoy today.

To those I served with ... it was an honor ...

To those who served before me ... thank you

To those who gave it all for us ... words are not enough ... God bless you !

Be safe, enjoy your Memorial day ...

Comrades to Arms ! (7) - WIP First Company

Greetings troops,

This year has been a blur with my various schools going on for work.  I can say there is light at the end of the tunnel and the hobby time will be more soon.  I wanted to get some of the photos up of First Company nearing "field maneuvers" i.e. basing. 




 These photos are for you Pete ;)

The next pictures consist of another method suggested to me by friend and fellow WWPD'er Pete. It involves priming the figures in German Armor, then doing the same method for the rest of the painting I am doing.  Highlighting should bring the colors in line with the rest of the unit.

The final shots are of the figures that will be hitting the bases tomorrow.  Then this group will begin the "field maneuvers".

Steve, friend and the leader at WWPD has numerous T34 tanks in production as I type this post.  His tanks will be joining forces with my infantry on the table to get some East Front action going.

Enjoy the pictures, be safe .... Keep the Paint flowing and the Dice rolling !
