Long Time Since An Update

Project Zulu was cancelled as the order never arrived and I got distracted with other projects and cancelled the order. Still tempted however

Looking at the positive

But since cancelling the project I did finish my 15mm PITs British Foot army and purchased the dervishes who are based and some even partially painted, should be able to knock these out once I get going

Other painting this year has included a couple of Parrom Station Miniatures Martians bought 3 years ago at Salute.

In total the first quarter was only 35 figures including;-

Perry Miniature Mahdi, pack donkeys and adventurers for Darkest Africa and a few Chinese for BOB.

Hopefully get some figures up soon.

I went to the Tunbridge show and bought a few pieces of terrain and have also purchased Too Much for the Mahdi plus osprey books on the Russians and Chinese

Looking at the negative

A quarter of the year gone by an I still have not fixed in my mind one single project that I want to throw cash and time into, the decision is between:-

Historical

WW1 Africa
Darkest Africa
Zulu Wars
Back of Beyond
25mm Sudan
WW2 Skirmish
War of Spanish Succession
ECW

Fantasy

Space 1889 style Martians
Victorian vampire wars
Near future/Zombie wars
Starship Troopers ā€“ although I unsuccessfully test painted on of these figures
New GW undead army

Going to Salute so will hopefully make my mind up then

I did not manage to avoid any new projects. Adding the Japanese was somewhat a surprise but is jungle based so a lot of terrain is ready. 2020  Targets 1) Darkest Africa Belgium's for MWWBK and DITDK, mostly based coated. 2) Schedule some painting for my Fantasy stuff. I would like to do an old school army, either Undead (no Purchases needed) or Chaos beastmen. 3) Complete my Japanese and German C...
