Getting used to the idea of being able to print the models needed for my planned games. Wish I had got into 3D printing years ago :)

It has always been clear to me that stated its original concept and the refinements/changes to the mix you had made. Sadly a lot of people on social media seem to just want to knock others while hiding behind their screen and keyboard.

Nightmare kit to build, worse than the tracks on their 76mm Sherman :(

Managed to add 26 table top ready figures to the Chain of Command 1941-42 15mm project. Think I will change some of the helmet colours as turns out the images I used were of troops diverted from the Mid East :)

First 18 out of 125 figures and two Hong Kong Defence Volunteer armoured cars complated. Plan to complete some more figures today and base coat the vechiles that have arrived so far from Butlers.

Just two ant-tank units to assemble and paint, then all the minis in the box set completed and ready for base edging, tufts, and flowers. I am leaving those bits till last to try and get a unified looking gaming core force.

Great video, I am not planning on a Trench Crusader project, but as normal with your videos, loads of useful techniques I can try on my 15mm and Epic projects :).

Decided to give air brushing a go, still.have to set up the spray booth, but I'm happy with the first go at priming 3 Battlefront tanks. Lots to learn, but I'm looking forward to the journey :)

Wonder if he has ever looked at how Suez turned out for us and the French. Getting the feeling it will be a hell of a ride from January 2025.

Looks fantastic, I played my first game at the club the other week. Really enjoyed the game but managed to wipe my entire force out. Losing the dice roll off on every draw and trying to get my head around being counter charged didn't help :)

Got to try a game of MESBG at the Swansea Club all day Saturday game yesterday. Seven of us played, and I managed to get my whole force wiped out :)
