This is the way XV complete
Another painting challenge over, I tried to focus this year on three projects, two had great success the other I got bored with. I did paint few other bits Roman’s, aircraft and Napoleonics.
20mm Belgians, really happy with my progress I achieved
Then my Greeks, got fed up with them too part way through…. Lots more to do this year to complete the army.
Stalled American airborne, I really failed here to complete some, all 60 figs required was basing, anyway they should be done soonish after I get back from Oz. A few other 20mm pieces also
Roman bits, several pieces not photographed as they have been packed away already. A clean painting desk for a day before I crack on with some napoleonics this week.
I actually completed several more units but failed to take photos last week. as I was organising flights to Australia, rugby in Paris, hangover, then my birthday party, hangover…. Posted them on the last day but alas too late.
All the best to everyone this year, I am still renovating the chateau and hopefully the new Warganes room renovation goes well along with my new office and library.
Cheers

I really enjoyed your Belgian excursion especially seeing B class tank destroyers, dutch armoured cars were also appreciated.
ReplyDeleteCheers Norbert, I was unexpected but Wespe had a sale on and I could not resist, so off on a side tangent ww2 project. It has been great and since the completion of the challenge completed another 30 infantry.
DeleteCheers

Love the Belgian off shoot l..
ReplyDeleteYes quite unexpected, I could not get into my US airborne project, I think because it was simply too many infantry, I have just based 60 with a further 180 to go for the division
DeleteGreat stuff mate - well done!
ReplyDeleteCheers Paul, surprised myself with output
DeleteLovely looking chateau and game table. Though I must question what does a clean looking painting table looks like? ;)
ReplyDeleteCheers Tom, it was built by Baron de Hercé in 1690, a 5 story 1200sqm town house in the centre of the city with an 1100sqm garden and stables. A monument historic building we have been renovating for 7 years. Home of French Wargame Holidays
DeleteThe painting desk was only clear for one day for a quick vacuum and paint pack away before back to ww2 bits, Napoleonic and hairy Germanics.

Quite a mix of different era's and periods Matt. Very well done, Sir!
ReplyDeleteCheers Ray, I would say the lower goal point made it more enjoyable once I reached it I could fluff around more.

DeleteGreat looking collection, Matt. Well done. I concur with Martijn. The Dutch armoured cars are my favorites as well.
ReplyDeleteCheers Frederick, they do look good, we shall see how they stand up to the Fallshirmjager daylight assault!

A space ship?? What has the world come to :) Despite my doubt about their fighting abilities I really like the work on the early WWII stuff
