Just a few figures painted. The are of course 15mm CRITICAL MASS Games. Yes I do have some more ordered. Not too many, just a few. <br />

I have decided to group all the heavy weapon teams together. The reason for doing this is that it is different from current 21st Century human thinking in Most armies. As such some different organisation level thinking seemed just right as I want an alien force. And I imagine Aliens would think slightly (or completely) differently. <br />
<br />
Not a huge amount painted but as they say "Every little helps!"<br />
<br />
Thanks for looking and have a great weekend.<br />

All the best Clint.<br />

A total of 6 riflemen each 3 to a base now ready for action. I have 12 more to do so you shall be seeing more of them soon. Well soon(ish) as I shall start the next 6 tonight. <br />

In addition to the 6 foot-sloggers I have 1 mounted officer done. One more to do. I showed it last time unfinished. But now it n is finished better to reveal it complete and with the first stands of infantry. With luck this will give some leadership to the men and allow some games to better be played. But on this score time will tell.<br />

As such I went up the loft. Straight away I found the box the kit came in now stuffed with old decals. None the less it does show the scale 1/35 and the name "Crusher Joe" of the kit but as yet I am unable to find any ore of them. So if you are looking good luck and comments below on where to get them would be appreciated. (Not holding my breathe though)<br />

RE-PAINTED. At the time I was using it as a 28mm model but now I feel more of a 15mm model. The joy of Fantasy/sci-fi is no one knows so it can be whatever you want it to be. No one knows and few (if any) care. <br />
<br />
I am afraid I do not know who makes it or what it is for. I remember that our local toy store got some and as such I bought 3 (the other 2 are in pieces and are missing heads. But rebuilding them is for another time/post!<br />
<br />
This was a very easy re-paint. Almost too easy, or embarrassingly easy. Just 3 colours of brown on the legs and a thin brown was overall. It really was that easy. About an hour in all including drying time. In fact the base took longer!<br />

Obviously this will bulk out my 15mm sci-fi army and give them some mech support. And we all lke a bit of mech support. The only conversion work is the adding of a gun to the right arm. Way back in the day (no not quite when dinosaurs walked the earth) GW used to do separate weapons and arms. Not for a long period, but they did, Anyway the weapon is a cut down "Lasgun" I just chopped it about and added it on. Mech with guns is usually a good idea!<br />

Ok all Historical nuts can breath now. Finally some 28mm Crimean war WIP. Nearly finished ths mounted officer still got the face and the flesh and a few other bits to do, and a tidy-up. But it at least shows what I am working on for Matt. And that perhaps I have not been as lazy as I appear to have been. This is a 28mm Wargames Foundry and I have needed the practice in 28mm as it seem to have been a while. So I had best do some 28mm figs next!<br />
<br />
Thanks for looking and more again in a day or so. Okay 2-3 days more likely!<br />

I can hear you already screaming at me (And with some justification). I am Happier now. I still have not sorted it but at least happier. It is still the same vehicle 3d Printed and still (to me at least) such a great model. I intend to send for another as soon as time/effort allows. <br />

More of that later though.<br />
<br />
While I have finished very little that is a long way from thinking I have not done a lot. Just most of it is not anywhere near finished! So let,s start with what I have done.<br />
<br />
Here is a platoon of H+R infantry and transports. The transports are 6mm BMP 1's the infantry are equally small. Strickly speaking I need another BMP and a couple more stands of infantry for the HQ of the platoon. But this is a start.<br />
<br />
OK so what has taken 35+ years. ? Yes I can hear you ask even from there so I will keep you in the dark no longer. Yes my desert. This is how it was and as I have always been led to believe it might stay.<u> BUT</u>. And that is a big BUT with a capital B. I looked on line and found I can afford the nessercary materials. That being 10mm thick "Foam Board" so I ordered a pack. And Yes it arrived. So my 1/300th scale desert has taken a step forward.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4lvZ7GvyCaIfSlp5KUBEKIPHmmzigLMP2b8DiKe_16_7PyFzYxf7uXMPNpTwoMtQzShwLXsMbckAkLuGx7-qhyOapjq2Izo-bIrQwe3YNgVdWO7flJ2CdlA2NePelwwcQzMnjr6a3Nec/s1600/DSCN2374.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="787" data-original-width="1600" height="98" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4lvZ7GvyCaIfSlp5KUBEKIPHmmzigLMP2b8DiKe_16_7PyFzYxf7uXMPNpTwoMtQzShwLXsMbckAkLuGx7-qhyOapjq2Izo-bIrQwe3YNgVdWO7flJ2CdlA2NePelwwcQzMnjr6a3Nec/s200/DSCN2374.JPG" width="200" /></a><br />
As I only started with 2 A1 sheets buying 5 more sheets Should (I hope) be enough. Time will tell but I am hopeful. So expect desert to feature in upcoming weeks. (You are warned).<br />

<br />
The spending continues ,while I work on some 28m figures, appearing soon on this blog. Firstly I squandered money for Pulp alley and bought a Clapper board. Traditionally in Pulp Alley the person with the initiative has a "Directors Megaphone" But at about £2.50 inc postage this was cheaper and will work just as well.<br />
<br />

Or Ghost town as I am currently calling it. The 2 Sarrissa buildings are exactly the same So I should be able to get them up and running in a week or three! The TTCombat "Grand Hotel" (on the left may take a bit longer! But at least I am on my way.<br />
<br />
Until next time (and I hope) some 28mm figures take care good luck and remember everyones paint brush needs to taste paint one in a while.<br />
<br />
All the best Clint<br />

Clearly a Soviet scout car. I will need to get some more (at least 1 more). While not a heavy tank it does have its uses. Without reconisance an army is without it's eyes and ears in a fight. So scout/armoured cars are important although as a young kind you and lead by your peers and by the rules perhaps to think differently. I know I was. <br />

It is attached to a 2mm thick base and has been painted (without markings). Typically they are just a standard green, but I shall be honest it looked boring like that. They are of course painted other colours as the Bovington Picture clearly shows, but generally they are plain green.<br />
<br />
That's it for today. More again soon (Fingers crossed) Until then thanks for looking and paint if you can.<br />
<br />
Cheers Clint<br />

Yesterday I received a parcel. Not a huge surprise I had sent for one from this company <a href="https://www.butlersprintedmodels.co.uk/" target="_blank">.butlersprintedmodels</a> I was expecting it and to be frank it was not a company I knew about or had heard of. But I thought "Why Not?" so I sent for some samples. The company had kept me informed so I knew the parcel was dispatched and in the hands of Royal Mail. For those of you who do not know Butlers Printed Models make wargaming pieces on a 3d Printer. They mostly do 20th century vehicles and NOT figures. But I would suggest they are worth checking out. I know I am glad I did. Anyway here are my samples and 1 model cleaned up and primed. <br />
<br />
Delivery was very prompt. I ordered late Thursday night and it arrived on Wednesday morning after a bank holiday. Everything is well wrapped and I am confident other deliveries to me will be equally swift.<br />
<br />
All prices are correct at time of publication.<br />

1 T72 A (Mk I believe). £4.40. 2 Parts. A Standard Soviet main battle tank still seen in 2nd rate units and in satellite nations. BUT for cold war 1980s perfect! This 15mm model was simple to assemble (der the turret goes on the hull) and required next to no work. Apart from paint this tank can be played with straight from delivery. This is deffinitley on further shopping lists as I shall need 1 or 2 more at least to start.<br />

1 SA13 "Gopher!" Again 15mm and again £4.40. Obviously it comes in 3 parts, and requires some assembly and cleaning up. I have not started it yet but I have high hopes. I needed (I thought) some air-defence and this made a pleasant change from the Zvezda Shilkas . Cost wise it is cheaper and I suspect more robust. Although on the last point time will be the judge.<br />

This required a little more cleaning up. That said the company DO have a video on Youtube and instructions on their website so do not be afraid, you can do it with a little time and effort. More of this model later.<br />

1 SDKFZ 7 with quad 20mm (to scale) AA guns. This is ww2 german. It comes in a choice of variants, it come in at £4.13,. I went for the unarmoured deployed option. Of the medels I got this needs the most work but I am hopeful it shall be straight forward and easy. NONE of the vehicles comes with crew but that is an easy fix I suspect. (Looking into it today). Again 15mm and for the price well worth the sligh hassle of cleaning up.<br />

1 BA 3 Russian armoured car. THIS IS 1/200th or 10mm) I changed scale for 2 reasons. firstly this is for my Spanish Civil War wargames. This cost £2.20 again it comes in a variety so just read abut and then order the one you want. There is tidying up to do but nothing that should put a serious wargamer or modeller off. It most definitely does not put me off. It is about 1/2 the price of a similar Pendraken one so fill your boots!<br />
<br />
With the exception of the BA3 armoured car all the models shown are 15mm (or 1/100) for wargaming purposes. BEFORE odering I would watch the Vidio the company has on youtube. ALSO be aware that as they are 3d printed perfect curves are NOT going to happen. But if you can get past that they are great wargames models. <br />
<br />
As I only have wargames vehicles that is the only criteria I use to judge them. That side they are perfectly good for wargaming. And as that is what I want I shall order more. <br />
<br />
Yeah but I don't play 15mm. Well good news they also make them in 20m and 28mm (but the price as expected does increase. So have a look and you may see what you are looking for. Afterall what have you got to loose.<br />

Firstly it took about 10-15mins to clean up. So I would suggest make a cuppa before you start. The Plastic cuts easily ad with a scalpel (no 11 blade if that makes a difference to you, it makes very little difference to me). I did find the model light so added an MDF base. Although it should not get eaily moved on the table really. To me though a base finishes it off nicely.<br />

There are only 2 parts so a very quick internet search (If you have NO common sense) will show you how it should look when finished. There really is very little to it. I am confident you will do a good job. It is worth highlighting that there is no accurate curves and they are instead made up of little steps. But the steps are so small that a layer or two if paint will reduce them dramatically. As wargaming pieces go you will already have dealt with bigger metal flash issues. <br />

Overall I am impressed and will paint it tonight but expect no issues. I am already planning my next order and maybe get some larger scales to try out. But generally I would buy some items from this company (If you have a reason to) and make the judgement for yourself. I have and I like them <br />

So I know we are not totally adverse to the idea. (Some people will be no matter what while others embrace the idea!) Anyway over the last few days I have been thinking we should play "Pulp Alley" at the club. But what kind of PULP I hear you scream in my head. Now there is the rub (misquote Shakespear). I want to do Dieselpunk. BUT I am away from doing this at present just because it will take some time. <br />
<br />
So what about Western Pulp? Now I think it is a good idea. There is PLENTY of precedence for Western pulp. (Just do a very quick internet search if in doubt). And for this I am READY TO GO. I have about 75-100 painted figures and a model western town. So a standard western game is a possibility! A good and strong possibility. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAB0CZssEexs2zowmYWXIl8U4GQaSBfo5-Wsz8eXd3Bg7OKlSFFYavLT2Z9faS0LOfZ0Kos71i9-vJcBF1binM8xpvK1aEnfQBczHy1PcYjQsh8woA5tTdsWXESAR25a9WgK9rCL90MhA/s1600/skull-cowboy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="202" data-original-width="274" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAB0CZssEexs2zowmYWXIl8U4GQaSBfo5-Wsz8eXd3Bg7OKlSFFYavLT2Z9faS0LOfZ0Kos71i9-vJcBF1binM8xpvK1aEnfQBczHy1PcYjQsh8woA5tTdsWXESAR25a9WgK9rCL90MhA/s1600/skull-cowboy.jpg" /></a>BUT knowing that Peter (as mentioned above has a Vampire league (I know as I painted it for him) I was thinkin Wild West Horror!<br />
<br />
So That is the plan now. Some of you I can tell are delighted. This also allows other club members with amore historical bent to play straight cowboys and Indians. (Should they choose, and some will). So I have now started to convert some of the wild west setting to more Horrific than normal. <br />

<h4>
<u><span style="color: red;">Ghost town</span><span style="color: red;">.</span></u></h4>
OK where to start. I have started with a derelict house. Yes this a pre-cut MDF building. (Sarrissa I think). I shall get some more and make them for my Ghost Town (in my head I am calling the town "Bitter-Creek!" but that is subject to change. ) Anyway the Ghost town does not need many buildings. I think 5-6 is enough As "Pulp alley" is played o a 3' by 3' table and we are not looking for a metropolis!<br />

Add the figures from "Draculas America!" and I have enough of a selection to get me going until a player wants something odd.... which is probably straight away!<br />
<br />
<br />
Currently on the painting table <br />
<ul>
<li>3 Wild west Mexicans in 28mm.</li>
<li>1 platoon of 6mm Middle-east Modern troops with transport. (BMP1s or BTR 70s not sure yet)</li>
<li>1 unit of 15mm Buffalo Soldiers (9th or 10 Cavalry) Then this force is finished.</li>
<li>1 squad of 15mm cold war Russians. (Just starting these.</li>
<li>Anything I get side-tracked onto!</li>
</ul>
Ok just a building finished for today. I am still struggling to get back into painting!<br />

Here is an Alternative Armies 15mm Scout bike! not brilliant but as it had been waiting about 15-20 years a relief to get done. No I am still not happy with it but at least it is finished and can (for now) join the other 15mm sci fi figures. Yes I still have some to get done. (Several posts, most for the aliens but at least 1 for the French Foreign Legion (in space).<br />
<br />
The "lump" to the left is an old unused part of a robot, but it makes good scatter terrain if nothing else. And it was quick to paint and easy to finish.<br />
<br />
Cold War update. Slowly getting my head around it. in 15mm I shall start on the Russian/soviet force first as that is what I have bought. Sent off for some more stuff as well from an unknown (to me ) company and I hope it will arrive in the week. Assuming it does, happy days and I can start><br />
<br />
Until next time take care good luck and I shall try to FORCE myself to paint as well. <br />
All the best Clint<br />

NO the Crooked Dice items have not arrived. But here is what I did get!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

First to arrive. (but I was out and had to pick up from the post office today was "OIL WAR". The supplement for Team Yankee. I have yet to read it but I am already thinking 6mm when I buy some infantry (that and a few aircraft should be all I need). Maybe a few extra tanks but not as many or as diverse as you might think. <br />
<br />
The Force on Force rules are an old set and now as rare as Hens Teeth. That aside I feel they will make the best use of "The Zone" books by James Rouch. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh42VFspfS2h2YwWD4NvbFAH4GA_dT_SipSvDlhAlVScAF8WG8X82xnHPMuWaiV72dUbZbXBfHU1XbkOUjWaCIEqndobLgAXmvRH4PRCasn9sFB_CZoL6ztp5MkNyDHvcdZ-18FKTYwq4E/s1600/zone1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="253" data-original-width="156" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh42VFspfS2h2YwWD4NvbFAH4GA_dT_SipSvDlhAlVScAF8WG8X82xnHPMuWaiV72dUbZbXBfHU1XbkOUjWaCIEqndobLgAXmvRH4PRCasn9sFB_CZoL6ztp5MkNyDHvcdZ-18FKTYwq4E/s200/zone1.jpg" width="122" /></a>OKAY so what figures to use. Ehrm 15mm I think! I was hung up un 20mm for a long time but then I discovered TT Gauge model railways and while the buildings are expensive I feel they could be worth the effort! So to try it out I went and bought some vehicles.<br />
<br />
And some figures. I suspect the infantry to be Plastic Soldier Company 15mm modern Russian. Anyway bought yesterday from Cavalier Books and arrived lunch time today. And as service goes you cannot beat that.<br />
<br />

I also went to my local Games shop and bought a Zvezda Hind. And although this is supposedly a tad small for 100th scale is close enough<br />
<br />
While there I purchased a box of Russian vehicles. 5 T64s and 2 BMPS The BMPs can either be mk 1 or mk 2 perhaps very simply with a turret swap. I wil need to open the box and have a look, but fingers crossed!<br />

I also bought a new paint brush. Fingers crossed it will allow me to paint better!<br />
Finally as an impulse buy (or is it) I got a Wargames Terrain Workshop post apoc car A. Maybe I already have a use for it and maybe it is a gift for a friend! I shall let you Know when the time is right.<br />

Yes only 6 bases. (The maximum for a Veteran unit) so not a large unit by any stretch of the imagination.<br />
<br />
The models are "Alternative Armies" 15mm figures. Old Table top Games. I used these not because they are the best but simple because they will fit in with the rest of the troops. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGFQJXXid9a-Ioyu1isZ1nqWslSlY_pgNap1Ly68Ckps-1-VqEjLik8DN6PsbuV00ghOrqcYjwuCQuo6CS92Zb0AAy1TOxG6K1S-gMNaL5qvLuj-s9EfASICM-kSpqv_maKLOHvJVmvLw/s1600/DSCN2340.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="928" data-original-width="1600" height="115" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGFQJXXid9a-Ioyu1isZ1nqWslSlY_pgNap1Ly68Ckps-1-VqEjLik8DN6PsbuV00ghOrqcYjwuCQuo6CS92Zb0AAy1TOxG6K1S-gMNaL5qvLuj-s9EfASICM-kSpqv_maKLOHvJVmvLw/s200/DSCN2340.JPG" width="200" /></a>The unit consists of Leader (20 points) and 5 bases of Cavalry (Mounted, long shooter) Veteran figures. (12points each base) for a total of 68 points for the unit!<br />
<br />
Which considering you are allowed 300points in your farce is quite a large proportion. I just hope the veteran status is worth the points.<br />

Elsewhere I continue to work on my airship/zeppelin. More of this when it has dried a bit.<br />
So with luck more soon.<br />
<br />
Also had an email from Crooked Dice my Kickstarter is now ready for payment. I paied as fast as I could so with luck an UNBOXING next week. Unless I have seen far to many of them on blogs before I receive it!<br />
<br />
Until then, take care, have fun and paint IF you get the chance.

It takes a while and it goes a long time through what I call "The NASTY stage". By that I mean a time of construction where you think it will not get better and it is worth scrapping it! BUT rest assured I shall continue.<br />
<br />
At present I am only working on the gas bag. Yes it is not historically accurate. It is a model for wargames and not for a museum. So Who cares? <br />

At this stage I have given it 3 layers of paint/glue and tissue to build up the skin. It is too big to paint in one go for It has to be done in layers. At present I am repainting with a mixture of paint an glue not settled on a colour just yet but I am hoping/planning a dirty beige!<br />
<br />
All I care about at this stage is the look and while I realise a 3 year old would destroy it in second I am hopeful (but only just) that it will be strong enough for wargamers. I plan for it to have 2 or preferably 3 more coats of paint and glue. By which time it may be strong enough. Which of course mean not even close to strong enough.<br />

The read is always awkward. And being as it has 5 lumps maybe doubly so. Fins, rudder and ailerons need to be added at the next stage and will be discussed then. So at this stage not really to much more to say mostly it is do 15 mins work and return the following day. With luck I should have more to talk about next Zeppelin update.<br />
<br />
Until then paint and blog if you can and I shall get more out next time..<br />
<br />
All the best Clint<br />

<br />
I have managed to finish 2 of these figures. They are 15mm Alternative armies and to make the unit complete and finish. Just 2 cavalry I am afraid. But they add to the unit command and as such round the whole unit out.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBsQ9gkA5ScrbPPJslOqFykRCxOCZxuHkoN2kkhk2K-IszEz3X3QwQx8jniwN1G_kyoRrux_SoLTI_57qJLIk5OnWQIahy7PeN6R7ehVkNlIwkZ_cLD_RnZ3aOupw-POHBPuGvVTePBps/s1600/DSCN2334.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="695" data-original-width="626" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBsQ9gkA5ScrbPPJslOqFykRCxOCZxuHkoN2kkhk2K-IszEz3X3QwQx8jniwN1G_kyoRrux_SoLTI_57qJLIk5OnWQIahy7PeN6R7ehVkNlIwkZ_cLD_RnZ3aOupw-POHBPuGvVTePBps/s200/DSCN2334.JPG" width="180" /></a>I am still a long way from finishing the army. well not such a long way really. That aside it does finish another unit. Strictly speaking it should have a letter A-I on the flag. (J was used for John troop which was usually a recruiting troop so the troops were not fully trained! Or so I am led to believe, but take that with a pinch of salt as it is only what I have been told so may not be true at all.<br />
<br />
As yet I have not decided if they will be 10th or 9th cavalry. Both of which were (I believe) called "Buffalo soldiers" by the Indians and both (again so I am told) had white officers!<br />
<br />
I do have another small unit started so they will be along soon.<br />

I had a sleepless night last night. (Not though choice I hasten to add!) As such I did some thinking. (Yes it did hurt and I am sick of listening to the worlds smallest violin before you ask!) Anyway Long story short. I had an email from Karl at Crooked Dice to let me know that my Kickstarter should be ready to ship in a week or 2. As all the stretch goals are now finished and delivered to his home. <br />

Anyway as I wanted to build a "PULP" board any way I decided to start. And what is more Pulp than an Airship!? What a Zeppelin? Who in their right mind build a Zeppelin? The answer is NO ONE! But I thought it was worth a try anyway! I decided it would not be all that large, So swigging down the Pepsi I figured 2 2 litre bottles would make a good enough "hull" (I am sure that HULL is the wrong word but until I think of it HULL will do!)<br />
<br />
<br />

So using some UHU general addehisive I stuck 2 Pepsi bottles together. At this stage I have no idea if it will work but am hopeful! It is now about 3 foot long. Judging that to be sufficient I stopped there. At this stage it is all pretty rough but with scissors glue a scalpel and a saw I am not overwhelmed! (That comes tomorrow!).<br />

I ran to the local store (A tescos as it happens) and bought some cheap Kitchen towel. So I will detail my endevours later on maybe Sunday.<br />
<br />
Now while I wait for this afternoon to arrive and me to get a little more spare time I have some questions about Zeppelins. I promise not hard ones. <br />
<br />
Firstly the engines and bomb rack will be external to the gondola! But what else would you like to see in the gondola. I shall put a cockpit and Matt has suggested some machineguns. But what else is needed bearing in mind it shall be quite small? Please add serious ideas to the comments and I will see what I can manage!<br />

COLD WAR WARGAMING.<br />
As mentioned last time I plan some cold war wargaming. With a bit of tidying up I have a modular desert board. So it makes sense to me to work in a middle east setting. I shall say no more until I get the basics done. But remember you heard it here first! Or forget all about it if you choose.

<br />
Okay the problem. Myself and the club has a LOT of 6mm Cold War era stuff. (mostly Vehicles) that we do not use. So what I am proposing is not a new idea. Very simply it is using these rules (yes I know I like Challenger!!) and swapping scale. Very simply this will allow almost All the club members to participate. Even those player with nothing! If you have nothing you will be lent enough to get you started, although probably a company or two and NOT what you want!<br />
<br />
That said I think there is enough Soviet/American and British stuff that can be used that has been "donated" to the club in the past. But if you want something quite obscure you will be on tour own.<br />
<br />
The idea is that eventually and this is a LONG way down the road we have enough to play "The Zone!". That may not actually happen But the Idea is there. The next stage is to read the rules and pick a setting! Yes a setting. That will depend on what players want! They may want West Germany (Fudal Gap) Which is the classic Cold war/ Zone setting but they may well want Canada/Alaska (Shortest route) or even Arab Isreali wars. Only time will tell. And to some extent I shall leave it to them.<br />

it to be. Personally I am in a wargames limbo at the moment with lots started and little finished and absolutely NO desire to paint at all.<br />
<br />
So I selected 2 old models and painted them for my 15mm sci fi Alien force. While 3 are in the pics the one on the left was already painted and has been seen on the blog before. <br />
<br />
These are Brigade Models (<a href="http://www.brigademodels.co.uk/15mmSF/index.html" target="_blank">LINK</a>) old 15mm figures. So old They no longer have them on the web site. Yeah well forget that as I have some! And am determined to paint them. So I have 3 of these now and they are actually an easy paint! (Yippee!)<br />
<br />
Elsewhere on the painting table I have some 28mm "Wild west" figures. Which I really do need to get done. AND some 15mm US cavalry that I really do need to get done. So those 2 projects are in the works! I shall most likely do the 28mm Wild west next as they are most of the way done. But be warned I may just skip back to 15mm Sci Fi, It's the kind of logic I have at the moment! Or just to be perverse some 1980's 6mm figs that I am umming and ahrring about. You are warned.<br />

They are of course 15mm Critical Mass Games . At present I have just 1 of these my dilemma (although dilemma is far to dramatic word) is Do I a] have one with each squad or b] have them as separate things. I do have enough APCs to do either so that is not an issue. It is just that I have an option in the "gruntz" rules and have no idea what will be best. Squad support or a weapons Squad. There are advantages to both approaches. and also drawbacks. Finally I could do both! Doing both seems wrong but I just do not know at this stage. <br />
<br />
If you play "Gruntz" and actually know what plays best I would be delighted to know. If you don't play "Gruntz!" (probably most of you still feel free to comment and I shall take it from their.<br />
<br />
Finally started some more 15mm vehicles so with luck the next post will be on Sunday.<br />

If I knew what I was doing a re-paint would not be nessercary as I would have bought the right thing to begin with! <br />
<br />

Why desert well I was going to do western desert PBI (by Peter Pig). All that has gone out of the window so these have now been re-painted. They will still remain for PBI but now I am concentrating on the Pacific! (Both 14th (forgotten) army as well as Japanese and American.) As the Pacific islands tend to have "shallow" hills and not steep ones (yes I know there are exceptions) re-painting seemed to be an obvious step.<br />
<br />
So now 2 re-purposed hills ready for action. Which is all good as far as I am concerned. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

Firstly the Crooked Dice kickstarter has finished. So with luck I shall have those before the end of the year. This is very likely and I can start the new year with some "!Pulp" shenanigans! At this stage I am most keen on the monkey idol scenery piece! I am already looking to use that 2 years hence so the chances are we will all have forgotten about it by then.<br />
<br />
Elsewhere my Alternative armies Order has arrived so I can sort out my Peter Pig cavalry army for "Wild west!" As mentioned previously I am doing 9th or 10th Cavalry AKA Buffalo Soldiers. I really think this would be a grand Ammerican TV series as they fought bravely and are often (at least in the UK) overlooked.<br />

( <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1039850061/pulp-heroes-and-villains-28mm-miniatures?ref=project_link" target="_blank">LINK</a> ) I only went for the "Heroes" option. as I have more of a use for them. I did look at the Villains very closely but as there was only 3 I would (at this point) use I dismissed it. MAybe in the future I will get the 3 I want from these selection. maybe I will not. <br />

So for the price of £22 (plus postage) I should get the Heroes and the stretch goals. And to be honest the stretch goals are more to my liking at present than the figures. <br />
<br />
Yes I am an awkward cuss!" At present the Ark of the covenant is not in the stretch goals but maybe by the time it closes it will be. (Fingers Crossed). We all like a few stretch goals!<br />

As "alternative Armies" was having a sale I splurged and ordered some figures. ( <a href="https://www.alternative-armies.com/" target="_blank">LINK</a> ) Not a huge order but (I hope) enough 15mm US cavalry to finish an army! We both know that I will still buy some more at a later date. But this should be enough for my 9th or 10th US CAVALRY "Buffalo soldiers!" yes I could have done 7th Cavalry as seen as famous in the films but these are more interesting. <br />
<br />
END NOTE<br />
Sorry it is only talking today. I have had a step back and rethink on a project. Enough of a re-think to make me start again but using some existing items. <br />
<br />
Ad a special thanks to Ray for getting me back in touch with an old friend. Not that they are old but we had lost touch over the last 23 years. So thanks again Ray I appreciate it!<br />

Bringing the total to 10. This I think is enough for now. <br />
<br />
4 may be used in PBI if an off board strike is called for either in a 2x2 block or in a row of 4 (NO DIAGONALS) wither as a row or as a column. Then a roll for deviation of each piece. They tend not to move much. But expect 1 in 4 to move. (Roughly).<br />
<br />

That being the case you can only have 1 off board asset a turn and on board gun (or tanks) tend to use HE in our games as they would tend to cause the most casualties!<br />
Yeah we tend to be bloodthirsty!<br />
<br />
Therefore 10 I think is the right number as they do tend to disappear over time. So that for now is job done on the cloud markers.<br />

That said there is no reason not to think they could and will not be used for other rules. However I wanted something a little "better" than cotton wool. I know most of you will use cotton wool without issue But I wanted something different.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv_mSPOwSNI6NOVkZz_b3dOtzh3gjeoP6t7qlKUDStoiKmB1NP3_UNkk6MZXu2EACf_YLriepboXXAFxBK8AF9aYWhxU49ADB87sJrcfVetEjVRAYvvtEYva8-1bzwMK1JQ0_4oFIufcM/s1600/DSCN2311.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="732" data-original-width="1600" height="146" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv_mSPOwSNI6NOVkZz_b3dOtzh3gjeoP6t7qlKUDStoiKmB1NP3_UNkk6MZXu2EACf_YLriepboXXAFxBK8AF9aYWhxU49ADB87sJrcfVetEjVRAYvvtEYva8-1bzwMK1JQ0_4oFIufcM/s320/DSCN2311.JPG" width="320" /></a>Therefore I created 5 smoke clouds. (5 more are started and 10 should be enough for me!). They were simple to do just "clump foliage" then sprayed white (3 coats) and then the bases painted and they are good to go. I must say I am very happy with them. You only need 1 in a PBI square to represent the whole square being filled with smoke so they are indicators only and not realistically modelled terrain. I am sure you shall do better on your own with a little thought.<br />

Continuing my dieselpunk obsession I wave started a donner vehicle. All I have done so far is break things up. Ok saw things but you get the idea! On this model (thanks eBay) I need to rebuild the radiator and the headlights. remove (that's done) the side wheels and rebuild the running boards. And then either rebuild the rain cover or rebuild the back seat not sure yet and add some MGs and some other bits and bobs, like maybe a new hood ornament. <br />

The chances are I shall get bored and throw it away before I finish so PLEASE don't suggest anything to do with this car. But at the very least you know it is a live project.<br />
<br />
That's all for now folks have a good Sunday and try not to get too much done or I shall be disappointed in myself.<br />

Yes here are my 2nd squad of Snake-men. (AKA Atragar) The vehicle comes from Brigade Games but is currently not available (unless you talk VERY nicely to the guys at a show! Bringing Cake helps!!!) While the Snake men are from Critical Mass and are actually "Astragar" should you go looking for them. <br />

I do have a heavy weapon team as well (currently undercoated but no further) I am tring to decide if they belong at squad level or as a separate support section. I'll let you know when (if ever) I decide. IF I decide on squad level I shall need to buy 2 more.<br />
<br />
Elsewhere I am working on a couple of things which I hope to show next week. Some historical and some (like part 2 of Aztec Fram) sci fi!<br />
<br />
As you see slowly I am getting it all done. (OK very slowly)<br />
<br />
Until next time take car, have fun and paint if you can. All the best Clint<br />

The battle we fought was a combination of two historic battles. With British against the Egyptians. In History Britain won both battles so could the beefed up Egyptians do any better this time?<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">He game ended as a slight British Victory.<br />
We had taken 4 of the 6 Redoubts so we were equal on victory points with the Egyptians.<br />
We had failed to take the train and the Egyptians still held 2 redoubts but were not in a fit stare to carry on. <br />
If time and effort and energy had continued, but the show was packing up, <br />
I have no doubt te British would have had a decisive victory. But time was up and we achieved what we achieved in the time.</td></tr>

<br />
Conclusion: Hard to finish a game at a show unless it is a skirmish game. But I suspect "Her majesty" would have approved as no awful reports of a British massacre reached "the times!" To make this a very competitive game though the Egyptians should have been given more Omph or at least more reinforcements. But 20/20 hindsight is a marvellous thing.<br />

Firstly I did have a good time but the show is mostly about "toy Soldiers" as opposed to wargaming. Yes there were about 15 Traders there but mostly NOT selling what I want and more "Toy Soldier" based than wargaming. But everyone is allowed to like their own thing. For me once you have seen 1 unpainted plastic soldier the appeal of looking at them does diminish.<br />
<br />
There was a bring and Buy stall, but nothing for me. Either to buy and as for selling I decided not to. I gave 2 Osprey books away to friends as they were doubles for me bought as a job lot! <br />
<br />
None the less here were the games:<br />

Check Big Lees blog for a show report. (<a href="http://www.blmablog.com/2019/03/spring-skirmish-2019-photos.html#!/2019/03/spring-skirmish-2019-photos.html" target="_blank">LINK</a> ) I shall do my show report tomorrow (I hope). Until then here is my loot (not much) from the show. I would have bought more but there was little I wanted at the show.<br />
<br />
Only 2 stalls I spent money at. <br />
<br />
Debris of war where I got 2 "Flying stands" This should push my 28mm Dieselpunk idea further. <br />

These shall be used and not detailed, Just a grey and a brown, boring but vital colours.<br />

I have FINALLY finished reading these rules. (Last night) Yes I know they are old (very old) but I have a fresh unused copy and I really do like them. So you may see them again soon.<br />

Thanks for looking and with luck something better soon. All the best ClintClinthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02351729764098750618noreply@blogger.com14
