New Period

Unfortunately, as you may have noticed, my new career in marketing leaves little time in the evenings (or none on a busy week) for frivolous things like making models and painting miniatures. However I have managed to get a few bits finished. The modern Africa bits are still going, I've got a Ferret and AML 90 half done, as are the moderns and SCW. I've also been repainting some of my GZG scifi miniatures, but lately, after re-watching Band of Brothers and seeing the new Airfix resin buildings, I have gotten back into WW2. I say back into, I did start collecting a few tanks and plastic miniatures a while back, but it didn't amount to much. I think the SCW overtook it. So anyway, I'm in the middle of building up a force for Too Fat Lardies TW&T (nice name). I've got most of a platoon of Brits done, and nearly as many Germans. The infantry figures are all from Platoon 20 and the tanks are mainly armourfast, but also there's a Raventhorpe Churchill tank, an Airfix SDKFZ 222 and a couple of armoured cars from Hinchcliff. Unfortunately, I had to take these photo's indoors and resorted o using the camera's flash. As such the miniatures look much more shiny than in real life and the tanks look much darker, which is a shame. But, finally, it is some new images and it is a new post!
