work in progress - not much

Various small projects on the go..... but not too much to show :(

Maybe this week will be little more productive ?

Japanese Project

Another regiment towards my goal of a division

Most manufacturers represented

I had enough Hong Kong 'knock offs' to include companies in travel march and human wave assault formations

I have about five battalions in my collection and the extras I'm working on will cover most OOBs 1939-45.

New digs, first game

My new neighbour is an old friend of fifteen years, who just happens to play CD3

Dave's ultra table is now in residence at my place, me and neighbour (Ash) just couldn't wait, so here are a couple of pics from a game we've thrown together. In this case 60s cold war

AFVs here are Airfix and S-Models

Played 6 turns so far with the Soviets (me) taking lots of damage. To be continued...

Work in progress

Mostly Ultima Ratio figures with a few ring-ins

Chindit figures, but based as 1944 British infantry battalion for CD3

Almost finished :)

Work Bench

Working on some contingents for my Commonwealth collection, Far East.

The Strelets figures are just getting better and better. 

Work in Progress

Eventually this formation will be an infantry brigade....

Mostly Strelets, Esci and Revell figures 

I chose Lewis guns for the LMG platoons

This will be the machinegun battalion

Engineer stands, in more of assault style poses

Another engineer company 

Still quite a bit of work to do but the aim is to produce a 1939-43 New Zealand Infantry Brigade.

Progress

Well, not much at present. Although I have started some of these wooden models to add to my oriental scenery collection....

Eventually they'll be tidied up with filler and glue and given a lick of paint.

Project Pictures

Owing to recent reinforcement from down south, a long term project has gained new life.

I started a 1943-45  British Airborne Brigade way back here... http://20thcenturywargames.blogspot.com.au/2011/10/parachute-infantry-platoons.html ...and here... http://20thcenturywargames.blogspot.com.au/2011/11/para-support-platoons.html ... in 2011.. and added these since http://20thcenturywargames.blogspot.com.au/2014/07/british-para-gun-crews.html ... http://20thcenturywargames.blogspot.com.au/2014/07/british-para-2nd-battalion.html .... http://20thcenturywargames.blogspot.com.au/2014/07/para-ammo-porters.html .. 

Anyway, the progress...

Mortar platoons

Command sections

Flamethrower engineer platoon

MMG stand

PIAT

Rifle platoons, a few minor alterations but nothing drastic. 

I still have to fill gaps and add some more weapon slings.

Work Bench

Ash went home last week so I've been back in the cave catching up

Kiwis. The first of three planned formations, the black ones at the back will form part of a machine gun battalion

This is a Dragon 251/1, a very detailed kit by my standards

Airfix German para now at about the 3/4 stage

Played a few board games with Ash while she was here, which prompted me to get back to finishing the characters from the expansion set for Last Night on Earth.

Seldom if ever bored :)

New figures + progress

Never thought I would ever see New Zealand soldiers made in plastic

Strelets is certainly delivering consistently in unusual subjects, and their products (especially sculpting) are getting better all the time

couple of poses here of the Kiwis in their famous 'Lemon Squeezer' head dress; including a minor alteration I'm looking to make on these

This is my early war Aifix German para project at about the halfway stage

Last couple represent a platoon of the RAF Regiment that I need for my next map scenario.

Projects and recent additions

A few pics of my work in progress

Caesar Fallschirmjager, metal support weapons unfortunately - late war 44-45

Airfix Fallschirmjager - early war 39-41

Italeri Fallschirmjager - mid war 42-43

Another battalion of Pacific theatre Australians

The cruisers are from me to me, Ash sent me the Mustang, which will be added to my Korean War aircraft, and Jack sent me the Jeeps and guns as well as some other goodies :) check out his work here https://jacksarge.blogspot.com.au/

Cheers

Progress - wooden buildings

My first dabble with wooden buildings

Added a floor to this one so as to make it more functional for CD3

This is another one of an Asian style

Basic construction, went together in about ten minutes. Once I've finished filling the major gaps and other holes in the framework it will be ready for a paint job.

Work in progress

Just started sorting through my various projects...

You can never have too many gunners

Out for a tidy up, most manufacturers represented

Tidied up some of my recent alterations 

Might have something else to show you soon.
