February Painting - Buildings

Following PAW I could not resist starting my Charlie Foxtrot (CF) buildings.

I thought I would start with the simple ones which went together really well and the results are :

Workshop

Walls coated  with sand then painted

Open Fronted Workshop

Walls coated with sand and painted. The roof was covered with Warbases laser cut tiles and painted.








The next building I tackled was the Tabac. Again it went together well and I was more than happy with the results:

The Tabac

Again the external walls were textured with sand prior to painting and roof tiles from Warbases were added.











That's three buildings down and six to go. So far a very impressive and inexpensive range that I would recommend unreservedly.

PAW 2015

I was pleasantly surprised to get to PAW, the Plymouth Wargames show, on Sunday 8 February. The fact that Theresa's dad lives in Plymouth, so she could drop me at the show and then spend a few hours with him certainly helped!!

It was the first time I have been to PAW in quite a few years and I was favourably impressed. There was a good balance of demo/participation games, traders and space for competitions.

My New Years Resolution, to spend less on wargaming until the size of the mountain/pile is reduced, was holding well until I came across the Charlie Foxtrot stand!  CF is a new company producing 28mm MDF buildings. I could not resist and ended up with 3 damaged buildings, a row of terraces and a couple of  shops!!

To top it all Nick Turner, a member of SSWG, won the award for Best Demo Game. Even though I'm biased it was a bloody impressive game!

An all round good day.
