Future BLAM north at Eric's place?

Current BLAM is about 400 yards from my shed - if its all finished by October I'll do guided tours

and before you ask it is NOT the Thursday excursion

F@#king hell! How did you manage to paint them sooo quickly! Have you trained your cat to help?

a minimum od one hour a day - most times before I start work

Maybe the idea is that the family move into the Shed and Giles' wargames stuff moves into the house!

Mrs Shed thinks it should be the other way round

More like Eric-the-hanger!

I was thinking Eric the Long Shed....

but then Long Shed Wars doesn't work..

As of tonight I have just finished painting all the commanders ...so just the bases to do and I have finished...

Wow. Impressive progress.

On the bases, will you leave the outer lips brown or are you going to try and blend them with a green coloration? While they look kind of cool as display bases I suspect they look better on table with green - just a thought. Or maybe they are just for storage and not movement trays?

One hour a day of dedication gets allows amazing progress. The challenge for most of us is the discipline of keeping up that hour a day.

Delighted to report all the bases are now done...

Not the best picture but certainly enhances the unit..a full step by step approach to how the bases were dressed is on the blog

Just the commanders to base and the standards to make up and the job is complete

Both Parliamentarian (mine on left) and Royalist forces (my mate Mark's) go on the table - over 1000 x 28mm figures!

The table is NOT big enough

We'll be taking close up shots of the forces as they go head to head in May

You can follow progress on the blog - latest post just features this picture and storage

For a 1:1 you only need 9000 more

I hope you find the fitting table for a game. P&S-rules?

Eric the Shed · « **Reply #65 on:** April 22, 2016, 02:32:59 PM »

Yup Pike & Shotte rules...going with Cropredy Bridge as the first game - we only need about 50% of what we have painted

Once I have the extension built the table will be extended...in a fashion

Its going to be fun

Incredible Giles. You are a painting machine. Personally, I don't like the Warlord ECW plastics, but I cannot fail to admire the scale of your ambition. And en masse like that, it's a damned impressive spread. Old school but rather magnificent.

Eric the Shed · « **Reply #70 on:** April 26, 2016, 12:11:13 PM »

Thanks for all the positive comments folks...

The first game is scheduled for Monday post bank holiday - photos will appear then

Impressed by your output!

Finished painting all the troops at the weekend....

29th January looked like this...

21st March looked like this

Just got to finish basing and add flags...

If anybody asks that works out at 7.5 minis painted per day...

Cheers

Absolutely fantastic work, sir! 7.5 minis a day is a phenomenal work rate. Good luck with the new shed, will you be known as "Two Sheds" in future? My first real wargames army was ECW (Royalist of course, though), 25mm Minifigs, back in the '70s. I've still got boxes of them in the roof.

Looking forward to seeing the battle reports soon.

Never mind 'Two Sheds', you'll have to change your nomme de guerre to 'Warehouse Eric'!

That's some impressive output there my good man, I salute you!
