Final Painting Offerings of 2011

Happy holidays and a Merry Christmas!

Well, for those of you who don't read the blog from Analogue Hobbies (link on the left); you really should! But as well, I will post up some pictures of what I have been painting lately on here too!

First up, some Napoleonics!

One of the wonderful Perry casualty miniatures. This is one from the forthcoming South Linconshire regiment.

My second artillery battery, 2 9 pounder guns and a 5.5" howitzer with all their crew

The reverse of the same unit

 Plus, the all important man himself, Stephen Fry! I mean, the Duke of Wellington...

If you have a spare 5 minutes, I highly recommend reminding yourself of this show. I like to think of the Duke like how he is portrayed here!

Two shots of the Duke himself, maintaining a commanding position on the battlefield!


In addition to that Napoleonics stuff, I also managed to get an M8 Greyhound scout car done. Why? Well it was sitting on my desk waiting to be painted. Or is it for a secret project?

Hint- It's not for a secret project...

Well, that is all folks! No more painting for 2011 for me, I am off on holiday this afternoon, returning in the New Year. I think I will put up one more blog post before the year is out, but this is the last one with proper pictures!

Merry Christmas, I hope Santa brought all of the Toy Soldiers you desired...

Not according to plan....

Well, my plans have gone somewhat pear shaped. It looks like I will not be able to attend Call to Arms this year- due to a multitude of factors. But, all is not lost. there is a second Lasalle competition, at Nappycon in the Hutt Valley in September. So, it looks like that is my new goal, get the British done for that.

Now, in keeping with the theme of things not going right, here are a few of my casaulty figures for Lasalle...

The are so dead, that in fact they decided to be shot sideways. From top to bottom, Landwehr, 27th, Guards and 33rd. I have some more to add over time too, these ones are just the plastics which come spare in boxes of French Cavalry and were supplied by a lovely chap from down South!

So, what now? Well, I am going to have a game of FOW tonight, hopefully that will spark me back into liking that game, plus I still have a bucket of painting to do for my British.

Oh, and this arrived today. What could it contain?
