Paint Table Saturday - New Aircraft

I managed to get some painting in. I finished off quite a few 1/600 scale aircraft for North Africa. Some of them I went with a very basic paint job while others I actually attempted some camouflage.

I managed to finish off three Ju87s, three Fiat Cr42s, six Mc200s, six Bf109s and a single Sm79.

Ultimately, I intend to have 2 full staffelin (not sure if that is the right plural) of Bf109s of 12 aircraft each. I also want some heavier bombers than the Stukas. I have five more of them and three just need some markings to be finished. I was thinking of picking up some Bf110s and some Ju88s to round out my Germans for North Africa.

My Italians are in pretty good shape. I am planning for a Squadriglia of 9 aircraft each of both the Mc200 and the Fiat Cr42s. I should be able to knock out the Mc200s quickly. I will finish up the remaining five Sm79s at some point. I have another six Cr42s but they are not even assembled. I would really like to add a few Br20s and an Ro37 to the Italians at some point to round out the force.

For the Allies, I currently have 8 Tomahawks and 8 Hurricanes finished with another eight of each in bags untouched. I would like some Gladiators and some Maryland and Blenheim bombers to round the British. But that is for another day.

Saturday Painting Table... kinda

The painting table was woefully neglected this week. No pictures of it at all. I have started on the longship. I have an initial coat of paint on it but the details are remaining.

What I am excited about is the first of my Zulus.

On a small FOW base I have 3 10mm Zulus. I will vary the bases to have between 2 to 4 figures per base depending on the regiment. Rifle armed Zulus will be 2 to a base. The bulk infantry will be 3 or 4. It should be interesting. I have 3 bases of unmarried troops to finish off. I have some more married troops to finish painting too.

The leaders will all be based on individual round bases. The chief will be on a larger base than the lower level leaders.

Update: Just forgot, I also put together a plastic Zveda Ba-10 armored car.

Sofie's Saturday Painting Table (2/15/2014)

The table should look a bit cleaner today. I have moved off most of the Desert stuff. What remains is 8 British and 8 Italian casualty figures. In addition, I have added some Zulus. These little guys are my first experience in painting 10mm minis. Honestly, I am really liking these guys. They have been fun to paint up so far. I am figuring out how I will base them. The longship? Well it has been primed and left in the garage for the time being.

Till next time.

Paint Table Saturday - 2014-01-25

Sofie has opened up her paint table to anyone. So I have jumped in with my poor offering. I am very jealous of many of the painting tables that I have seen linked on her blog thus far. I don't have a permanent painting table. I have a tv tray that I can move from room to room as needed. Currently it is populated with some 15mm British infantry for the desert with a few tanks thrown in. There is also the 15mm Peter Pig Viking longship there.

Sorry for the late post. I managed to get in a solo game of Chain of Command last night and that took up my posting time.
