"What's on your painting table?" Topic

I have a queue of assorted bits and bobs due for finishing this weekend:

• 15 6mm buildings for a big Flames of War game I'm building up to
• Four platoons of Soviets (mortars & HMG) for that same game
• Four US AT Guns and prime movers (GHQ)
• four bases of 6mm Russians for Leipzig (basing)
• a dozen birch trees
• Some forest tree bases
• One toy re-paint for my 15mm Sci Fi collection….

Where'd you get the birch trees?

Working on 300 6mm Napoleonic.
Dutch Line, Dutch Militia, Belgium Line, Belgium Light and some British Light Rifle. These are the last infantry I need for a Waterloo game later this summer.

Terrain stuff for a game, Ligny/Quatre Bras, I am putting on at Little Wars in April.

Planning to decal some Israeli and Egyptian 1/300 jets. I hope to pick up more jets at Little Wars in April.

The birch trees are scratch builds. Wire armatures wrapped with tape and painted. Add green flock then base on washers. Too much work. I'll buy off Ebay next time.

Painting tires on BTR60s

Painting up some SU-122s

Finishing off a battalion of Valiant WWII Camadians

Finishing off six or so Tau battlesuits

• Some simple and some not so simple conversions to Perry Late War Ansar spearmen to get sword and command figures as they don't make them in metal.

• On-going Wings of War/Glory 1/144 WWI planes being fully repainted.

• I'm finishing off a 25mm ECW command stand.

• I've started some AB Portuguese but with everything else I'm working on I felt overwhelmed by the amount of modelling and painting stacking up so I've put these away. Out of sight out of mind. Sometime when I feel like painting them I'll dig them out.

Scratch built caissons,today finished my version of a Preuss7grenadwagenreite, a drawling I found in my pictures I saved on 3/5/13 but don't know where I saved it from. Now I'm on a easier Russian M1803 2 wheeled caisson and next will be a Russian M1796 4 wheel caisson and have to make a 2 wheel Prussian but no idea of a design yet. Oh and finished today 6 Siberian Dragoons to finish a Regiment I started with 4 Siberian Uhlans.

Old newspaper.

There's too many figures on the painting table, and not enough paint on them … lol.

Seriously, I have the following …

39 WotRs 28mm
49 TYW 28mm
8 Polish Winged Hussars 28mm
20 ACW Iron Brigade 28mm

And more 28mmm Romans and Barbarians than I want to count.

A mixture of TAG, Westwind and FOA Grunts for Vietnam awaiting some flock and grass tufts. A regiment of Warlord Zulus awaiting undercoat. My Breakfast plate and coffee cup.

Oh and Raquel Welch and her Photographer (not the real ones of course).

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with all sorts of half finished stuff on their painting table!

The same thing that has been on my table since mid December: 96 Russian 1812 infantry that have totally destroyed what little painting mojo I had going. I hope to have them done within the next two weeks though. I hope.

Unfortunately the same half finished samurai that have been there since November….

For me, the 28mm Napoleonic push continues with a battalion of French legere leaving the painting desk this afternoon.

Preparing for Texicon at the end of June. I've got 28mm Arab Slavers, Ruga-Ruga, Askari & Brits to paint. My biggest terrain building challenge to date, I need to create a waterfall and river.

Once all of that is out of the way, I have the Bones II Kickstarter minis to paint.

And I have the final chapter of Pearl's Plight to write.

Finishing off some vehicles for a 28mm sci fi convoy, couple of cat folk for tomorrow's pathfinder game, after that some Infinity miniatures and F&IW natives.

6 MkVI tanks
8 L3/33 tankettes
4 28mm Napoleonic Russian Cuirassiers
12 15mm Russian WW I Cavalry
12 28mm WSS French

Looks like I'm a member of the "oh shiny" club!

* 4 x Napoleonic French limbers
* Battlefront's American parachute company
* 1 x platoon of Battlefront PzIVH…they're the old resin with metal…I HATE plastic kits. I like the Battlefront style, but HATE plastic kits. From now on it's Old Glory/Command Decision (rant over) :-)

Just finished 6 OG British Napoleonic 10th Hussars and 6 KGL 2nd Hussars for a buddy who needed them for our Waterloo game coming up. Gave them to him last Thursday.

Right now 12 Calpe Uhlans.

Just got my large order from Legio Heroica. Painting some crusaders then the Muslims.

I have in 20mm, U.S. advisor figure for each: ARVN Airborne, ARVN Rangers and RVNMC. Also, to more m-79 grenadiers for my Blue platoon of 1/9th Cavalry. Those will be finished tomorrow.

Waiting in the wings is a regiment of 27 25mm ECW Parliamentarian infantry, primed and mounted on painting blocks.

I have to be insane, carving the box out of a piece of cedar. I tried a 10mm which I finished but looks to small so I'm going up to a 15mm square slimming the sides down a mm each to leave a "soffit" then sloping the roof to the height I want.

Warlord's 28mm Chindits.

36 Perry plastic WOTR at the moment. They are about 75% done.

Robotech RPG Tactics Zentraedi (almost finished, but at the rate I'm going, my local group will have lost interest in the game by the time I'm done.)

15mm mounted samurai (barely started)

LOTR Elves (barely started).

12 Little Britons 40mm
12 BTD WWII Germans 28mm
1 BA MMG 28mm

A 1/350 Zvezda Spanish Galleon
A 1/300 Pyro Spanish Galleon
A Trollblood thumper gun and crew
A Trollblood Skinner
A 1/2500 TNG Romulan Warbird
3 Academy Guards from Relic Knights
10 20mm Carlists (SCW)
2 1/700 Alligator class landing ships
A Riddick CD
A cup of tea that is unfinished afer about 4 hrs
A modified Martian Tripod
Some popcorn

Finished these up last weekend…

Federales….

Banditos!

and this is what is on my painting queue….

And that's just my 28mm run!!!!….

But seriously, while we're south of the border… :

Two units of 15 Federales in white, one in peaked caps as above, and one in kepis (Woodbine head swaps).

Some Federal artillerists and machine gunners.

One unit of 15 soldaderas.

All of the above are Old Glory figures, and all will be dipped using AP Quickshade.

One unit of 12 Foundry Old West Mexican infantry, painted using the black undercoat/layer method (I can't bring myself to use AP on Foundry figures… yet).

My 15mm Black Hat Aztecs that I bought from you, Mark.

60 Mighty Empires pieces and a 4 large 15mm WW1 trench board in the garage

Thunderbolt Mountain Heavy Goblins (83) and Unarmoured Goblin archers (20). Cleaned of flash/mould lines, weapons and shields added, including conversion to double wield for some, and primed black. These are such fun figures, with detail that has earned Tom Meier legendary status. I didn't fully appreciate Tom's wizardry until I began on these figures.

I am scratch-building boats for the orcs and goblins. The boats are actually wooden platforms on the backs of huge sea creatures, with working ramps that lower at the point of attack on the lake-town I am also building.

Currently my painting table is overrun by one of my sons. Which is fine with me because I am doing some figure/terrain storage re-org and have the 6x12' gaming table covered in partially assembled trees, hedges, and various other 30 minute projects that I've left sit too long. I will get these wrapped up next week hopefully.

On the painting table are:

- About 200 bottles of paint, mostly in the spinner rack.
- 30-40 GW Chaos Warriors and minions that range from freshly primed to almost done.
- Assorted brushes, tools, etc mostly in the side racks of the table.

This son is a prolific painter. These will all be done within a few weeks, I need to figure out how he does that…

An early WWII Soviet HMG platoon, plus a unit of partisans.

All in 1:72 plastics, based for FoW – base sizes adjusted accordingly.

Nothing but broken dreams …

LOL Pat that is how i been rolling for far too long. can you say decade+???
That is why i had to put the DVD player and PC keyboard on the table to take up space to make me feel a hair better. :-)

I am rebasing and reorganizing some of 6mm WW2 stuff into new storage boxes. Surprisingly for rebasing, I'm actually quite enjoying it, and at the end of reorg I should have freed up a whole three boxfiles of storage space.

Then I can buy some more stuff to fill it.

Okay, so Stosstruppen, Patrick R, and Grimmnar are actually worse than I am. This is my feel-good thread of the year!

I've got:

54mm baden powell and mafeking cadets
54mm downed pilot
54mm ww1 french
54mm british NWF cavalry -a commission
whole bunch of Star Wars Imperial Assault figures which are a commission
28mm heliograph team for Sudan
28mm Gordon on Camel

Should get that lot cleared this week…
