Having been re-inspired by entering the 2nd Build Something Contest, here is what I am currently working on.
My main project is for WW2 Fall of France using Crossfire rules.
Why? well a lot of my gaming is inspired by childhood memories and for some strange reason I had a fascination with the French in WW2, I think initially due to the lovely Heller 1/35th scale kits, also I won my first ever painting competition with a Heller French WW2 Motorcycle and rider at SELWG 30 years ago. Since then have read a lot about this time and like the clash of old and new,technology v tradition, cavalry v tanks etc. Intend to put a slight Commando Comics slant on everything, with dashing heroics etc.
What I have so far: Scenery item again inspired by childhood memories.
The main element is missing as on my first attempt felt it was too large, though still looked good. If anyone can guess what it will be based on (Matakishi your excluded I am afraid
), I will send them the first version, which can be finished into a good bit of scenery.
I am awaiting delivery of all the BEF Miniatures British and German infantry + a Matilda II (another fav) and one squad each of French and German from Crusader Miniatures. need to find some 50/60 round bases with recesses for 3 pennies and magnatise so have options of trying different rules and scenarios.
Linked is this 1/48th Bristol Blenheim
Airfix kit as a kid
will use as scenery for above, a bit daunting these mixed media kits but quite pleased with how the resin has cleaned up and handled so far, bought new sharp knive blades (essential)
Junk Robots, detailed in another thread
And finally more of a long term background project ~ Malifaux. I have bought quite a few of the gangs and gaming buddies have others, I love the rules and how they play.
Collette Du Bois Showgirls, for which my entry in the contest was built. and Neverborn Dreamer, Nightmare and Teddy.
Want to eventually build 2 x 3 Theatre board to house the organ and gang
Hopefully posting here will encourage results. steaming ahead at moment progress wise are robots, figures should be finished tomorrow.
