Photos soon to come

I have managed to get a bit of painting done these last few weeks. Between travel, and the start of a new semester, well... You all know how it is.

The models are currently drying from their lovingly applied flat clear coat. Once the varnish is dry, I'll snap a few pics (tomorrow, likely) and post them.

We've got four 15mm 6-pdr portees, a pair of 15mm Valentine IIs, a good number of 15mm Spanish Civil War requetes, a squadron of Federated States gunboats, and a big surprise which I don't want to spoil.

The FOW minis are for this weekend's games. I'll do my best to remember to snap a fwe piccies of the games,

Next up is finishing a batch of 28mm Bobbies, and then some more 15mm sci-fi to finish up a few things there. That would set me up ready to play a little Gruntz, I think.

On another note, but also gaming related, I have been doing a lot of reorganizing in the game room. Adding several new trays for finished minis lets me store them more efficiently. So I have been working on that, too.

Also watched Conan the Barbarian for the umpteenth time. Let me tell you a tale of the days of high adventure...

Brilliant stuff here.

What I have been doing...

Traveling, mostly.

Historicon in mid July followed by a trip to Seattle and Alaska. I've been home for about four days now and finally getting around to a more 'normal' schedule now that I have packed my oldest boy off to Haiti for a week. Yes, Haiti.

Also, I got a new desktop. So I have been downloading all of the software I use. That's eating a lot of time, plus transferring a few hundred gigabytes of photos, documents, etc...

I did put together four 15mm British 6-pdr Portees and two Valentine IIs yesterday. Priming them now with British Armour (Desert) spray.

I also cleaned the resin for two Ironclad Miniatures Martian Airships (sailing kites). Still need to assemble and paint, though I think I am going to go with a simple paint scheme. These are large 28mm vehicles. 

I also primed some 28mm Victorian Peelers. Coppers. Bobbies. Whatever you want to call them. And Uncle Thulu, that lovable scamp. And a batch of Peter Pig's Carlists for a third platoon's worth of bases. I'm about set, infantry-wise, for a 15mm SCW game.

More Indian Support

   I finally got around to finishing up the last two mortar teams for my Indian infantry company support. And here's the picture:

   Wow... blurrier than I thought. I think they look better in person. I hope so.

   I'm off at Historicon when this posts. Thought a historical post would be a good idea. Prepping the post at almost 0200 isn't though.

Greetings from Virginia

   I am currently attending the Historicon convention in Fredericksburg Virginia. My younger son and I are having a great deal of fun so far. in my first game I came in third place in a big race. Dane unfortunately did not fare so well in his first game losing his James Bond type spy to dastardly enemy attacks.

   I would love to attach a few pictures of my first game at this point but, I am posting this from my phone and it will not let me attach photos. So you'll just have to wait for those.
