March Maddness.

So Feburary saw nothing painted to completion. In fact very little painting at all got done. As always I am trying to clear my desk which means the latest stuff to pile up on it gets done first.

Cromwells.
Plastic Soldier Company's new 1/72 Cromwell tanks to expand my range of British equipment. Also did some experimenting in trying to recreate camoflague netting with one having the little hessian strips on it as well. Not entirely happy with how it worked out but I will keep at it.

Komitern Artillery Tractor.
Soviet WW2 heavy artillery tractor. By Trumpeter I think. Nice simple kit to which I might add some of the decals. Now just need some heavy Soviet guns. 

 Airfix Airfield Vehicle set.
Bedford MWD and Austin "Tilly" but is army colours.

Steyr 1500A.
From AMC Models. Nice kit but you had to make the strust for the canvas cover yourself. Annoying.
 

SIG 150.
Heavy gun for my German Infantry support companies. By S models. There were 2 in the box but I am keeping the other for another project (eventually).
 

 122mm Russian gun.
By Zevzda. Just to bring up my numbers.

The Mad Rush for CanCon.

Ok yes I know that Cancon finished like 3 weeks ago but since it ended I have been too busy to really post and through Janurary I was so busy getting all my painting done, having realised 2 weeks out that I wasn't finished, to post anyway. So here is the catch up. (Oh and yes I know I didn't have this up until the middle of March as I thought I had published it but hadn't. Oh well.)

The Wiard Guns.
I am reasonably happy with how they turned out, since I had no plans and was doing it entirely from old photos. You'll notice that one of the guns is a little lower in its cradle than the other. This is where I thought the guns should sit but having got one together it looked too low.

The Limber.
Perry Miniatures metal Confederate limber and team. Having now played with it, it's a bit too big for the table (maybe 4 horses or even two) but it got some good comments especially when people realised that I had added all the chains and cables to the pulls.
 

Dismounted Cavalry.
Confedrate versions of the Union cav I did eariler. Note the mix of weapons.

Cavalry.
Needed some more to make up numbers. Perry Plastics.
 

Heroes and Sharpshooters.
The "Longstreet" rules require markers/figures to represent unit heroes and sharpshooters. here are mine. Converted Perry plastics.
 

 The General.
A converted Perry plastic to represent my commander in chief. Zouave officer torso with cavalryman's legs and some green stuff.
