It’s only a month until Ayton and over the last few weeks I’ve been making pretty good progress. Although, for the AWI game on the Saturday that has seen a little less progress. Sorry Iain!
I did paint a unit of French for it though. Regiment Foix. 15mm Polly Oliver. I do like these figures albeit they are a little fragile.
And now we come to the main bit… I’d already painted a few spare WW2 German figures I had as Altefritzenburgers and then decided to add a few Fallschirmjaeger. I was going to do them as ‘ImagiNation’ as well but given I wanted to paint a few I wanted to get extra use out of them and use them for Chain of Command later. So I went for ‘proper’ figures!
Got a good deal on a platoon from Crusader before Christmas and added a few other bits and some Black Tree Design figures from eBay. They mix well and both are nice to paint. I went VERY early war and a few references I found have the FJ in a light grey smock. I suspect it should have a more green tinge to it but I like it. To facilitate ID’ing sections at the Ayton game I did different helmet and trousers combinations, added HQ figures and some support. And still have a few more to do… So here we go…
And there we have things so far. I am painting more…and more…some for Ayton…some for CoC…who knows…
Four weeks and counting. Loads of time to do more!
What do you mean “the main bit”? I thought the main game was the AWI thing and that you were “just going to paint a couple of figures for the Sunday game. Honest”!
Tish!
Mind you, they all look splendid. You’re on fire.
Patience, master! Trust the Force and all will be well for Ayton!
