Little Inkerman

Well the final pieces for the Little Inkerman project turned up on monday - just in time as I'd finished painting and basing the remaining Russian. These new pieces have been based and will get a daub of paint later today. Pictures of progress so far are here.

Also been spending on Amazon, suddenley got an interest in the English Civil War particularly the Battle for Adwalton Moor - originaly came across this battle at a local renactment day, so I've ordered a couple of books on the subject. Some shots of the re-enactment I took in 2009 - a lot more photo's here.

 

New Order Placed

Placed my order with Irregular Miniatures for the remaining Russian & British Crimean pieces for Inkerman. Nearly finshed another 40 bases of the Russian - just the flags to finish, give the minatures a gloss and paint the bases (sounds like a lot when I type it - but that's the beauty of 2mm only half an hours work).

Finished basing some 15mm Museum Miniatures' Medieval Lancers for my Storm of Arrows army.

Also finished the 15mm Special forces figures to do battle with the zombies...

Bought some 1/72 plastic (Mars). Modern U.S. Soldiers & Mujahideen at the weekend for Force on Force. The figure detail is quite good but there is a lot of flash to clean up. But at only £3.99 for 30 U.S. Troops and £4.99 for 40 Mujahideen I don't think I can complain - plus I don't think there are any unusable models in either set. Started painting the U.S. - not too sure I've got the colours right, looking to do the 2001 desert camo pattern used in Afghanistan.

2mm Crimean Armies

Ordered these 2mm Crimean armies at the end of last year from Irregular for use with the free Esprit de Corp rules I got from Miniature Wargames, I'm intending to fight the Little Inkerman scenario in MW 329.

First up the British - 5 battallions, still need 1 more batallion (8 bases) + 1 base to represent the Gaurds company.

British Command : Lacy Evans (C-in-C), Pennefather and Adams.

British Artillery:

Russian Battallions :  2 battallions & 2 companies out of 7 battallions. Already have 2 more battallions based waiting primer and paint, just the 3 X command and the 1 X Artillery to base, and then the final 32 bases to order then from Irregular.

Next up 15mm Donnington "New Era" Welsh Spear.
