I haven't worked on SF3D since April, and this (my third) bad boy has been sitting on my table watching glumly as I reached over it every day to grab other figures to paint.
Well yesterday I sat down and knocked it out. I now have 36 suits in the paint quay before I reach for my third Soviet Bolt Action squad. This working on something different each week is helping me from getting burn out.
I've been flipping the script every week. One week I paint Bolt Action Soviets, the next Bolt Action Germans, or whatever fancies me at the moment. So before I go ahead and paint the 3rd Soviet squad I gave my Germans some love.
I painted up to more LMG teams, and an Infantry gun team.
Finished up the last four cattle stands I have. There will soon be another release of around 30 more metal figures (foot, cavalry, dogs, etc.) and I am looking forward to that. But I now have enough figures to run a proper game, so away I go!
I'm getting closer to finishing this project. Second Squad completed, with one more to go and then the weapons and officer teams. Fist pump!
Painting up some opposition for my Germans. Having painted up France 40 Germans it only made sense to me to paint up some early war Russians so I could get maximum benefit out of my models built and painted.
I finally got off my butt and finished my first Carthaginian elephant for the Age of Hannibal book for Saga. I've only had the models for like two years now.
I actually finished the model a little over two weeks ago, got it all set up to take pictures, only to discover my very old camera had died. It's not a very fancy camera, but it's like an old friend and I was super bummed. It is an old Kodak 10.3 mega pixel camera that takes great pictures of my models. I've replaced the lithium battery once, but Kodak doesn't make them anymore so I outsourced to another supplier and I got it yesterday on the cheap and it worked. Whew, problem solved.
So here are a few shots, and the one without the Howdah mounted shows how I magnetized it for easier storage and to help protect all the little pointy bits.
