Painting Progress, New Lead and Other Things

Painting Progress I have not been able to do much work on the painting front thus far. I managed to get the bases half done on the Soviets on my painting table. They still require a dry brush and some flock but are closer to being done.


This is the set of casualty figures that are done. The top 3 circular ones are older figures that I had done more than a year ago. The others are the current batch.


I am very sorry about the picture quality. This is a wagon for the Soviet baggage train. The horses are nice but the wagon it terrible stuff. Still, it won't be on the table much.

Found Lead! Then I made an amazing discovery in my cabinet. A bunch of painted Soviets! These fellows will help me finish out what I have and I only need to re-base them. I was so very happy to find them. They were in an unlabeled drawer on the opposite side of the cabinet from the rest of the Soviets. With this find, I should be done with them by my birthday.

New Lead I just picked up some 28mm British Colonial troops. Just a small batch from Blank Tree Miniatures. These are really nice. No, I am not switching scales. Really. I am not. This is just a test. That is all. There are only 4 figures anyway. Just a test. They sure are nice though.

    1. With the investment in 15mm that I already have, that would take me winning the lottery to switch.

  4. Finding "lost" figures is always fun. Finding painted and based lost figures is a Eureka! moment in the Roundwood household!! Well done, Chris. Can I interest you in a pack of labels?
