January 2022 paint table update

 Hi all,

So when I am not posting here on the Blog I am posting pictures on Twitter, which is better than posting them on Facebook, I think.

 


 One of the things I have been doing is posting pictures of my Lunch Break painting sessions I did two weeks ago since I am back working from home because of the COVID situation here in Stockholm.

 I worked on painting some of the 3mm Vietnam War miniatures I got recently. I have tanks and also infantry with additional helicopters and aircraft.

 

Here are the UH-1's I painted up so far. I just need to put on the varnish and then add the rotor blades. 





I also did a little prep work to start painting up some F-104 star fighters, again for the Vietnam War.



I also got some 1/6000 scale ships to try to do some battle related to a what if 1930's War between the US and Japan using the War Plan Orange plan. I also got in some 3mm Tumbling Dice interwar aircraft to experiment with to see how they match up with the 1/6000 scale ships. I will post more pictures as I paint up more miniatures.


Have a great week!

Painting update, some things are done and some will be done soon!

 Hi again,

Well my hobby ADHD has hit again but I did finish something that I had started before and those are 6 wood barrels for scenery or as an objective location etc... They are resin and they came out pretty good so here are two pictures of the barrels.



So once these barrels were done I started down the Vietnam War rabbit hole and I have just about finished a squad of USMC miniatures from Gringo 40 that I had purchased a year or so ago. I have painted them and I am just about to do the work on the basses and then they will be finished. I am waiting for a delivery of some more Gringo 40 VC and NVA miniatures to arrive so I can get some targets for the Marines to shoot at. 


 

I am also looking around for a set of rules that will allow for a fun short game but with enough detail to satisfy my need for detail, especially with weapons I have been trained on and used during my time in the US Army. 

 




Enjoy the pictures.


More to come soon... I hope :-)
