Oh yeah, a new year... Doh!

This is a post regarding my year as a modeler, interesting for some, rubbish for most, and a little brainstraightening for myself. Read on your own peril, I wont refund your time!

So, here is the current state of my to do list for 2012:

The TANK ✓
US FoF force ✓
Insurgent FoF force ✓
Middle eastern village ✓
Tiny Town ✓
Viking Warband ✓
Bradley Diorama
Tiny armies
Coastal gameboard section
Them British napoleonics

Let's bring it down to topics:


The TANK ✓
Bradley Diorama ✓
I got the Chally for X-mas 2011 from my GF, it spurred my modelling interest in larger scale and so I made a Bradley and a Tiger too in this wonderful scale, not to mention the unopened PzIV, T-85 and S-Tank I have.

US FoF force ✓
Insurgent FoF force ✓
Middle eastern village ✓
This stuff was great fun and quick to build, but as I wouldn't find opponents I sold/traded it for basically the same but in 6mm, plus a lot of cold war stuff!

Tiny Town ✓
Done and still waiting for a use..

Viking Warband ✓
A part of the FoF trade which was fun to paint and will hopefully grow.

Tiny armies
Well, while some is painted, other stuff pushed them down the ladder..

Coastal gameboard section
Still as unpainted as for some 16 months ago.

Them British napoleonics
They got reinforcements and a lot more painted, still there is a great bunch of lobsters to do!

So, that was the planned things. What else did I do? I will certainly forget a thing or two, but I started with Dropzone Commander, and got it just before Maelstorm went south. Another new game is Bolt Action which I am currently painting my yanks for in 20mm. A far better scale than Warlords 28mm. Less expensive, and it makes a small table big! Plus I had a box full of 20mm stuff to begin with.
I have also tried my wings on an aircraft model, still in the painteworks, but I like it more and more. This blog will see more of these. Perhaps the most important part this year for gaming purpose is that I have found players in my area. GW gamers mostly, but nothing beats a good ol proxy army so I have some of Fireforges Teutons galloping their way here to take the banner from the Bretonnians on the gaming table. I have played a bit of Magic again too, a nice quick way to get a game or two down in no time, but the modeling sure is missing from that game!

For 2013 I plan not to plan anything. I will still have a list of Projects, but they are for when I feel like it rather than a year.

Finally I would like to thank all you readers and especially all you great guys who help me with tips and motivation, thanks!

Bolt Action Americans

Before Xmas I got a thick letter from a little island west of here out in the atlantic, and inside were a number of bags filled with 20mm americans waiting to be painted, and then they waited a little longer.. But today before work they got primed, and when I got home I spent some time painting for the first time in quite some while.
The picture do them no justice, but I save quality for when they are done.

So slow progress...

Well, lets just say that life has come between me and my work. But I have made some progress on my new shiny Infinity models, and this week I both got some 20mm americans for Bolt Action and also a little X-mas gift from Eng over at kampgruppe-engel.blogspot.com more on that later. :)

Porsche Tiger

Early this summer I got this model kit from my little brother of a Porsche Tiger in 1/35 and a few infantry soldiers, which he had gave up on quite early. I happily took it and secretly built it to give back to him at his birthday in late summer. I hope he is as happy as I am with the result!

That time again...

Infinity

A few years ago I got some demo minis for Infinity, but they never got played and drowned in a zillion other projects, to finally end up being sold.
Now I somehow re-discovered this game, and a little trading, buying and haggling later I here present the first of three armies (if a group of 10-15 men is an army). These are the Nomads. And hopefully I get the big shiny rulebook tomorrow and get some painting done too!
