"To have a plan; if it is not the best plan, it is at least better than no plan at all"
Maj Gen J Monash 1918
Part of the purpose of this blog is to add some structure to my collecting and painting aspirations for the year. This has been somewhat problematic in past years as the lead and plastic objects d'art collecting on the paint table seem to appear and multiply like a snowball rolling down hill.
Shooting in the Army has taught me that targets are seldom hit in the right spot.
My primary areas of focus for 2017 are:
Man Cave. Establish a hobby room in the new house and resolve storage issues.
Clubs. Dip my toes into the world of wargames clubs in South East London following my move of location. I have not been a club member in over a decade and have rather missed the camaraderie.
Napoleonic Waterloo Prussians. This is a project to build a Prussian Brigade of mainly Perry plastics with some Foundry metals. A last minute purchase courtesy of Warlord and their New Year 50% reduction on plastic sprues means the addition of a plastic Landwher Regiment!
Zulu Wars project. A mixture of Warlord plastics and metal Black Tree Designs British and Zulu figures. Intended for use with Blackpowder.
Ongoing works of established collections.
Great War BEF. Basing of troops.
AWI. Basing of several regiments. Painting of Perry Miniatures, Lee's legion & Euraka Miniatures Molly Pitcher with Cannon and a Regiment of Marbleheaders. A side project to model British heavy Dragoon units that did not deploy to the Americas during the war. Build of Continental Perry Plastics and Wargames Factory plastic Hessians regiments.
Cold War BAOR. Weathering of AFVs, completion of a 105 Light Gun with crew and painting of a Shorland Armoured Car. Conversion of a Sloppy Jalopy FV432 to take a Minifigs Wombat.
