It all started it when I was ten years old, my Mother bought me some 28mm French Napoleonic mini-figs for my birthday, I started painting these guys and have been addicted to lead and wargaming ever since, since then I have easily painted 6 to 8 thousand figs from 6mm to 28mm.
I currently have too many armies and periods primarily 28mm and 20mm, I originally thought about having several different blogs for my different armies that are painted, but I stopped after three, Australian Napoleonic Congress, Fine and Dandy and Bonnie Blue Flag, this blog will concentrate on my other periods, primarily ancients, colonial, ww1, ww2 and even some Sci-fi.
Staying Focused on period is tough for me and I suspect most other wargamers with such a grand array of beautiful figure ranges out there, although I tend to suffer from painters block if I don’t have something to concentrate on.
My fellow club members and myself from the Goulburn Wargames Club tend to find something that is flavour of the month and stick too it for at least a year than move on. As I can paint to a reasonable standard in a short amount of time (if focused) I tend to have a army finished first, sometimes a full year ahead of some of the guys.
We play a lot of 28mm WAB and Napoleonic’s, with ACW coming a close third, other horse and musket and ww2 gets a regular run also.
Next year I have a number of projects in the pipeline, not necessarily in this order
- 28mm WAB Germanics
- 28mm Wab Greeks
- 28mm WAB Barons Wars
- 28mm Sassanid’s
- 20mm WW2 late war Germans
I also plan to finish off and complete a number of projects that I failed to finish this year.
Cheers for now and happy painting
Matt
