Janurary Commission WIPS

Greetings troops,

     I am still here!  I have been hiding from my Xbox 360 and getting to tons of painting lately.  I have two commissions going as we speak.  My friend Steve's Russian Infantry, HMG teams, Antitank teams and 45mm antitank guns.  I have 2/3 of his infantry completed at this point of time.  These Russians multiple like feeding gremlins after midnight.

     My friend Judson's British are being worked on as Russian soldiers dry.  I am currently working on his British Infantry for Cold Wars in March.  I also have his British Engineers, Mortar team and a 17 pdr in tow.

     I am also entering my Warlord Viking for the Saga painting contest on the WWPD Tapestry site.  Being a WWPD staff member, I am not allowed to win anything and that is perfectly fine with me.  I figured I would add it to the fray to get other's competitive juices flowing.

Here are 2/3rds of the Russian Infantry, with 19 poses for 57 men in one set.  DEAL!















Here is the Warlord Viking, getting based as we type

Bolt Action HQ NCO

Greetings Troops,

     Here is a WIP photos of my NCO for my US Airborne.  Bolt Action fever is getting crazy here for WWPD.  Look for it at Fall In this fall.  We are running a demo scenarios table for everyone to be involved.

The NCO is in the middle.

Bolt Action 15mm Germans vs French

Greetings Troops,

     I was able to get a 15mm run with Bolt Action rules the other night at WWPD HQ.  Steve ran the french while I was commanding the Germans.  You can catch his awesome AAR at the WWPD Bolt Action website ... Bolt Action .Net

     Here are some combat photos that made it back to the War Press Office.
