Better Late than Never!!!

A quick resume of my painting during March:

Buildings:

Firstly another of Colin Farrant's excellent 28mm MDF Normandy offerings.

Charlie Foxtrot Terrace with Front Garden

 A joy to put together and paint. The gardens in particular have some lovely laser etched details.

Again with Rear Garden

 This building was purchased via eBay from Timeline miniatures and it was incredibly cheap.

On first opening the package I was not very impressed as the MDF was quite thick and soft but once it was put together my opinion changed completely as it prooved to be a lovely building with just the right amount of detailing. Recommended!!

Vehicles and Foot Figures

250/1 fro Warlord Panzergrenadier boxed set

As above

234/2 Puma from Warlord

Fallschirmjager Kettengrads from Warlord

Mortar from Blacktree Designs

Fallschirmjager - BTD

Warlord Plastics

Tamiya Citroen Staff Car & MDF Celtic Cross!!

Macedonian Phalangites - 1st Corps

Indian Archers - 1st Corps

An outbreak of Macedonians and Selucids at SSWG prompted me to dig out some old macedonian and indian figures I picked up at a B& in Bristol about 6 years ago. They had been 'painted' using good old Humbrol which had obscured nearly all the detail. I had no idea how to get it off until someone suggested Dettol!! It stank the house out but actually worked.

The big downside to this was that I needed a few figures to complete the army. At this point things went rather wrong - 5 boxes of Warlord Plastic Hoplites, 2 boxes of Victrix Hoplites/ Peltasts and 5 boxes of Victrix Carthaginians later I remembered my New Years Resolution!!!
