The year of 2025

FINALLY got to finish my 2nd squad of German vets after catching the nasty new covid strain and my body feeling it had been continually butt slammed by Kim Kardashian’s arse cheeks and sweating like Rolf Harris in a…… anyway, I only built 2 sqauds as I dont really like the kneeling down pose in my squads so have used the kneeling minis to build some pioneers  but how many of these is yet to be confirmed.

German army Veterens is my hobby choice to start with this month and continue my WW2 hobby following this hopefully accurent squad layout .Decided to kit bass a base for the light machine gun has I didnt want to put them on the massive round disc that comes with the warlord Box set.

So  after the lego madness its back to my WW2 hobbing so I decided to start with building some vehicles. So bit of kit bashing on all the vehicles except the Tiger 1. So each tank has its commander out as per the way to spot, some tank drivers also with abit of cutting and filing of the tank command figures you get with each warlord kit. So I built four Sherman V and 2 fireflies, one Tiger 1 , 2 Kangaroo APC ( Priest) and a M3A1 Half – track.

So has the great Julie Andrews sang..”LETS START AT THE VERY BEGINNING” of a 323 sectioned lego build.

So I took  two week break from building and painting to do some research for my next WW2 hobby, but then along comes the grandson with this statement..”GRANDAD, LOOK WHAT MY OTHER NANNY BOUGHT ME FOR MY BIRTHDAY FOR YOU AND ME TO BUILD!” and in that statement the words “Me and You to build” meant  you to build Grandad and so my quest into Japanese Lego began and let me say on the box it says 6 year old, Japanese 6 year olds must be bloody engineers. So I opened the box emptied it out, looked through the booklet and politely swore under my breath and hoped his other nanny’s Broom stick catches fire whilst smiling kindly at my Grandson. So I will just now post pictures of a non game related project… JAPNESE VTOL LEGO BUILD….

So September has now come to an end Orcs flocked and so I did and armies on parade for both evil and good forces built up to now but still more to add, but I thought time for a break from Fantasy  and has we are entering into autumn and winter I thought it was time to get back too my other love WW2.

ARMY OF EVIL……HAHAHAHAH…( That was a manic laugh incase you wondered.)

ARMY OF GOOD….(  Cue the Harp music and the God Rays..)..oh yes forgot to add my Dwarfs….

Well I decided you can’t have a evil force without eviul ORCS, So I decided on the Orks from Mantic games so after there build, a quick black prime then a dry brush of  gunmetal with a speed paint of Orc Skin then a dry brush high light of the skin with army green and done then based just to flock. So made  26 hammer and shield Orc’s and 14 Large Hammers.

Well bit of highlight/ dry bushing done, flocked and based and another unit done.I like to call my painting game table functional
