Paint-fest: Day 9 progress

  • Deeply considered the problem of putting my USMC M60 teams on big bases or small bases, with only 3 figs per base. My big USMC bases have 4 figs each, while the Platoon HQ (with 3 figs) is on a small base. Oh the dilemma...
  • Undercoated said M60 teams (6 bases plus HQ)
  • Progressed the NVA HMG stand and crew - just basing left to go
  • Completed the test jungle section - it came out OK, but a little dark I think.

Paint-fest: Day 8 progress

The usual weekend domestic caveats (gardening, taking kids to football & scouts, family time etc) account for the reduced productivity:
  • NVA HMG and crew painted and detailed.
  • Started sorting out my USMC weapons platoon...only to find that I either don't have enough figs in the pack, or that the TO&E in the FP rulebook isnt correct...
  • Washed the Duster and PBR
And because I'm really pleased with the way these have come out, here is some pre-emptive eye-candy (just for you evil voice in my ear). Click for larger pics - Peter Pig Vietnam range US Snipers, pictured on a jungle terrain section by Miniature World Maker.
