LOTS OF WORK IN PROGRESS!

Well my WIP drawers haven’t seen this much action for a while, and it was a good session priming in the garden until I ran out of primer this evening…

WIP Drawers

I generally move things through my WIP drawers from bottom to top as they get closer to the finish line, but for these figures I’ll just leave them in the drawers as complete units as I work through them. Far too much moving them about otherwise, and I’m bound the break a bayonet or two.

The Plastic Soldier Company German Panzergrenadiers – cracking 3d prints. Some CheckPoint Miniatures Falklands Brits, and a few Fizzer Johnson’s Men of Metal French cavalry and infantry.

At the moment I’m mostly working through a few hundred Napoleonics, with a group of German Panzer Grenadiers for Normandy and some Falklands British to keep things interesting.

Couple of hundred 18mm Fizzer Johnson’s French for 1815 with some AB officers.
Mainly 18mm AB British Napoleonic infantry and officers, plus some more Fizzer’s, for 1815.
More 1815! Front row are Fizzer’s 18mm Napoleonic British infantry which will be painted up as Hanoverians and back row are AB Brunswick line infantry.

With a Bank Holiday coming up, kids away, and wife in post-op recovery, I should get an hour or two in at the desk over the next few days to make some proper progress. It’s been a challenging few months behind, and will be ahead, with the health journey we’re on, but painting toy soldiers has kept me sane and been a real escape from real life.

A few test figures and a couple of French battalions – they need some company if I’m going to get a game in this side of Christmas!

In a few weeks I’ll be heading to Colours in Newbury which is always a great show, highly recommended. There are some cracking demo and participation games in the works and always a good range of traders, next year I hope to put a game on. Probably Sword, but let’s see.

P.S. The featured image is AI generated – it’s not a bad likeness! Though I won’t be using it to write posts, where’s the fun in that?

Keep healthy and keep on wargaming!
