Painting Update

It's been a hectic month. My bride, aka the ball and chain, has forced me to paint the en suit, put in new fixings, mulch the garden, clean the pond, clean the shed, and god knows what other future projects lay in store for my tired body. Even despite this awful distraction I have managed to get some painting in. I have nearly finished my heavy Romano-British Cavalry unit, Army General and standard barer. I finished the Battleship Iowa and 6 Farragut class Destroyers, but they still need basing. And I finished 10 more WW1 Western Front Aussies, but they still need basing. And I have started on my 15mm Peter Pig 8th Army figures for Crossfire & Battlefront WWII. They will be early pacific Aussies in Malaya and Timor. I have asked the ball and chain to buy me a 28mm Whippet Tank for Christmas. Please.........

Painting

I have three painting projects on the go at this present time, although there really should be a lot more. I'm afraid my house might sink based on my lead pile that gets bigger and bigger. But only slightly bigger than my rule book collection. You all know where I'm coming from.
1, 28mm Romano British for WAB and the excellent Age of Arthur book. I am working on a 12 horse cav unit as we speak. (I really hate painting horses).
2, 28mm WW1 Western Front Australians for Warhammer Historicals The Great War. Half way through my 1000 point list. Once the infantry is out of the way is all gravy with support weapons and the grand prize at the end, a Whippet Tank.
3, 1/3000 WW2 naval and 1/600 aircraft for Victory at Sea. I have an obsession to paint every ship and aircraft squadron involved in the Battle of the Coral. I am nearly finished but I will have to find a new obsession.
I hope to post some pics soon of my work in progress. The wifey & rugrat have gone to her mothers house, 400kms away, for the school break and have taken the camera. But I will get it back!!!
Stay tuned and thanks for reading.
Cheers
