Stuff on the table - June 2017 UPDATE

Here's the update for June:

• Oathsworn Miniatures 28mm Burrows and Badgers Toad Animist (2016) - no further progress
• Oathsworn Miniatures 28mm Burrows and Badgers Badger Mercenary (2016) - no further progress
• Battlefront Miniatures 15mm WW2 Japanese Hohei platoon (2016) - based and sand added to bases
• Battlefront Miniatures 15mm WW2 USMC rifle platoon (2016) - cleaned up, primed, test figure completed

There was some progress with the WW2 Pacific Project this month. I based the Japanese platoon and added a layer of sand. I thought that by using the FOW bases with holes this would be a quicker process, However, the figure bases were much smaller than all the holes and I ended up filling all the gaps with green stuff. The USMC look they fit far more snugly.

Stuff on the table - June 2017

Another nice manageable list to start June:

• Oathsworn Miniatures 28mm Burrows and Badgers Toad Animist (2016)
• Oathsworn Miniatures 28mm Burrows and Badgers Badger Mercenary (2016)
• Battlefront Miniatures 15mm WW2 Japanese Hohei platoon (2016)
• Battlefront Miniatures 15mm WW2 USMC rifle platoon (2016)

The focus on this month is to make as much progress as possible with the USMC platoon. Their opponents, the Japanese Hohei platoon are waiting to be based. The plan is to do them and the USMC at the same time so there's a consistent look across all my WW2 Pacific troops.

Stuff on the table - May 2017 UPDATE

Here's the update for May:

• Oathsworn Miniatures 28mm Burrows and Badgers Toad Animist (2016) - no further progress
• Oathsworn Miniatures 28mm Burrows and Badgers Badger Mercenary (2016) - no further progress
• Battlefront Miniatures 15mm WW2 Japanese Hohei platoon (2016) - painted and varnished

I've been focused on the Japanese Hohei platoon this month. I completed a test figure, which turned out well and for once I had the forethought to write down all the colours and mixes I used. I could then crack on to complete the rest of the platoon. They are the usual Battlefront mix - some poses excellent, some woeful. However, there is a nice variety (more then Peter Pigs) and you get light mortars and lmgs, so the one pack has given me my core platoon for my Imperial Japanese Army Bolt Action force. I also like the bases with figure holes as this will speed up the basing process. I will do a write up on these at some stage.

Additional items I worked on:

• Battlefront Miniatures 15mm WW2 USMC rifle platoon (2016) - clean up started
