More VBCW figures

 As you can see 9 more 28mm VBCW figures are finished. They are a mixture of Empress Miniatures and Footsore Miniatures. All painted for Matt and ready for battle. I should have finished these 2 weeks ago but  what can I say real life got in the way! I have used the common colours of the time and they all fit in with the others painted previously.

Along with the usual weapons, there is a mortar (second Picture far right) and a Dinamentero (A Term used in the Spanish civil war for special troops who hurl sticks of Dynamite in slings, I believe this was started by some Austrian miners and turned out to be very unpopular with their opponents) SO no reason It cannot happen in a Very British Civil War as well.

I am off to the BROADSIDE show tomorrow so there will be a loot/swag post and a show report early next week and maybe an AAR from the VBCW game we are putting on as well.

All the best and Take Care Clint

Crew

Paint Monkey strikes again! Again Painting for Matt here are 4 Spanish Civil War/VBCW artillerymen. They are made by Empress miniatures .When I asked Matt what faction/colour arm bands to paint he did say one red and one blue. But as you can see there are four figures so that's 2 red and 2 blue. Red for socialists and blue for Anglican league. So let us hope he has sufficient artillery for the crew, I suspect he has. But I can see me painting a few extra armbands on for other factions.

That is my  quick post for today. I will post again on Saturday. And It will almost definitely be more VBCW 28mm figures as I intend to finish 8 more tonight. Well it is either that or watch the TV and I don't think there is much on!

So with luck see you all on Saturday. I did post today as I am hoping to get some wargames fudge finished tomorrow for the show on Sunday. And yes I know to give a bag to the Rejects although most will be going to the traders!

So until then take care enjoy the sun and smile if you can.

All the best Clint

What! More than a week!

Yes I know it has been more than a week since my last post. But I am still alive and well and (as far as I know) no problems.

So to get back in the swing a quick post.

Just a single 20mm SHQ NVA figure. I did think I had finished painting pretty much all of my Vietnam stuff and then at the back of the painting table I found a single  figure. He was obviously hiding ready to ambush.

So Not a massive addition but an addition non the less. All this does mean that I will need to rake out the box to put it away, and I can see from the stack of Boxes the Vietnam 20mm box is right at the bottom (Typical).

But I do have the Sanpan to put away as well so I really think I should. And then I think I have a show on Sunday and I might buy some more so perhaps it can wait until then! Not that I need any 20mm Vietnam stuff at the show, but you never know! Maybe some brown water navy.... NO that way is madness I have more than enough for a game. And we all know that means I will probably think of something to add.... "just one more wafer thin mint!"

I have go another post ready to put on for 2 days time and my bout of apathy and wargames doldrums seems to have passed so I should get back in the swing pretty soon.

Thanks for looking, all the best Clint.
