Okay, after recovering my account thanx to the very helpful people behind the scenes, I want to share some of my NWF adventures with you.
I realized after playing Björns cool game at Tactica that I had to do something colonial again.
I first toyed with the idea to get myself some French Foreign Legion minis...but then again I remembered I had some painted afghans from the perrys laying around.
Just wanting to start something fairly small I just bought a box of Perry plastic sudan/afghanistan Infantry....
So I just glued away and started to paint some khaki on the first minis.
Here is day 1.
And these are the minis I painted last year...and then got distrcted....
Cheers,
Don

Thanx, Mr. Oshiro.....
Its good to be back...
Okay, in day 2 I started to use some super glue and greenstuff.
I wanted to do some Indian troops and found some WWII sikh metal heads in the leadpile. I know these are rather not correct, but I take a more cineastic aproach...so turban is erm turban....
And i oainted a colour party. These will acompany the Lt. as a 3 or 4 man team.
Cheers,
Don

Thank you gentlemen....
After paniting a few more Brits for the HWF...
I thought of some terrain...
Luckily some bad folks cut a lot of trees behind my flat. So I took up some of the spare parts of the trees....
And dryed them on the heater.
To get them flat on the tabletop I put some filler under neath.
And here with some grey paint on them.
...and with the next batch of afghans (this time Foundry). And an additional gun crew...
Cheers,
Don

On day 5 I wanted some more terrain. This time a pathan watch tower.
Not as eleborate as the one from the great Jimbibbly, but more sketchy.....
And I had this stupid idea to get some scotts in my NWF....
I decided to use some Victrix spare parts wich I had laying around for a few years.....
Just the tropical hats on them and fo it goes....
At thsi time the project was 5 days old. My benchmark was to get something playable in one week....
...even for me quite a task....

Don

Thanx gents....
Here is what I made on day 6.
First of, I builded a small hamlet. Just to get the afghans some cover....
Again pretty sketchy and done in a few hours. But I had only one day left in my weeks project.
Even managed to get some paint on the watchtower....
And nearly finished the Victrix scratchbuild scots.
Cheers,
Don
