Indian Mutiny: With the Sikhs and Highlanders currently away for painting I am just sorting out the next batch of figures. These are some Mutineer cavalry, light infantry, artillery for both sides and the civilians and personalities from Mutineer miniatures. I suspect I will close this project after these have been done and I have found an appropriate source for some suitable flags.
Sudan: SELWG saw me purchase some more figures for my Sudan project. These represent the last I need to complete Phase 1 - the Suakin campaign - including the Yorks & Lancs, Black Watch, 10th Hussars and some Naval Brigade. I may get the additional figures I need for Phase 2 - Khartoum - at Salute next year.
WW2 NW Europe: I just need to base up my Foundry Paras and this can be counted as complete (always assuming any wargaming project ever reaches that stage!).
Cold War: Lenin has my additional BAOR and the additional Soviets I need are off with Roger so it is just down to me to assemble and paint the BTR (and possibly get a couple more vehicles - I've always fancied a Scorpion - but that will have to wait a while unfortunately).
Falklands: No real progress on this one since the last update - although it would be nice to have this progressed given next year is (believe it or not) the 30th anniversary.
Russian Civil War/WW1 Eastern Front: I keep get the figures out and then popping them back on the shelf as I don't have any desperate need to move this project along (which is handy as I'm not sure I can afford it with the other ones planned!).
Montrose: Still being rebased (or if you really want to know the truth - about to start being rebased - i.e. I haven't actually done anything yet...)
Scarlet Pimpernel: I still need to decide on what finish I am going to do on the bases for these and then assemble and paint the guillotine.
Marlburian: These are next on the list for cleaning up; however, I still need decide which units I want them to be and which rules to use in order to get this moving along.
Maximilian in Mexico: No actual progress here.
Vietnam: Lenin tells me these are on the workbench - so I am hoping to get a game to the table in the new year.
Greek Myth: This is still a bit on the back burner; however, the new figures from Foundry are rather nice ... (must resist!)
WW2 Polish: This was one project I had intended to reschedule but with North Star having some of the Bolt Action Poles on sale (and the sale coming to an end) I thought I'd better secure the saving! Not much of an excuse but I will be popping them on the shelf as I will need to supplement them with some figures that North Star didn't have on offer.
Everything Else: is being delayed/rescheduled as there is plenty to be getting on with without starting something new (always assuming I can get treatment for the "ooohhh shiny" syndrome I seem to have contracted!
Wow! I thought my interests were diverse. Some wonderful sounding projects and yes those Foundry Greek myths figures did look great! Good luck bringing to their natural conclusions and I shall be looking out for future updates. All the very best, Michael
ReplyDeleteAnd I also missed my 15mm early WW2 project for IABSM!
ReplyDeleteI've always been pretty eclectic but that's because I really enjoy finding out about new stuff! The problem is I keep getting inspired by a whole range of things - but nice figures have been a big part of that lately.
