Extermination: Pile of Shame

That’s it, I’m sick of looking at it.  Sick of thinking about it.  Sick of feeling bad about it.  Pile of Shame, the time of reckoning has come.

I haven’t picked up a brush since Christmas 2019.  Before I even think of driving into any new projects, this pile of shame is doing down.  As in to absolute f***ing zero.

I realize this pile of shame is pretty puny compared to many others.  But … (a) … I would hardly say the size of one’s pile is something to brag about, and … (b) … the diminutive size of such a pile is all less reason to let it linger.

So you’re all witnesses to a premeditated murder now, folks.

I am killing my pile of shame.

So this is it. My pile of shame. Note a lot of this is half-completed – which in my mind makes it even worse. I have the Bolt Action DAK force given to me at the Western Desert Boot Camp, the bulk of my Iraqi 15mm force for upcoming Gulf War 30-year anniversary content, a Tiger I and Stuart given to me by publishers and companies during reviews, convention minis, etc.

First up, that 28mm DAK force given to me during the Western Desert boot camp. These guys have had a hard life so far, I’ve never worked with 28mm plastics before, and an accident in the hours involving a collapsed hobby table resulted in some breakage and a LOT of repair work. But this army WILL be finished, damn it!

Okay 44 infantry figures now complete, including 7.5 cm PaK gun, 8.0 cm mortar, two 5.0 cm mortars, MG-34 MG in company support tole (tripod), x2 MG-34s in platoon support roles (bipods), AT rifle, radio, medic team, three officers, etc.

A little command team, three officers and a radio operator in the background.  I kept the piping on the shoulder boards white for most of these figures (white = infantry) but that radioman has yellow for signals troops.

Some support teams, MG-34s in both company support role (tripod) and platoon / squad support role (bipod).  There’s also a GW-34 8.0 cm mortar.

My PaK antitank gun.

Some of my infantry.  German shields on the helmets and roundels on the campaign cap hand-painted.
