Happy New Year

For 2013 I have no specific plans made or goals set. I just take it as it comes. There will be no New Year's Resolutions. But as usual that doesn't mean that there is always something that must be done before a certain date. And this certain date is getting closer rapidly.

On the above picture we see a Hellcat, a Scout Car and an US Glider Field Artillery Battery. As I have a great tourney on the 23 February, more about this later this year, and there is big possibility that I need this platoon and models, these models must be painted before that date. This is the first must of the year.
On the background there is a Stuka D for my 90. Leichte Afrika Division gladly this one can be painted later on in the year.

Next we have a blister containing Easy Company. There is a possibility that a few teams are needed from this blister for the tourney but it looks that I can paint all models in this blister sometime this year without any pressure on me that it must be painted soon.

Home made Barbedwire and Minefields. I made these about 31/2 years ago but because of bad handling it is time to repair and improve these. Probably going to make complete new barbedwire. This is also a must do because I need these for the tourney. I already know for sure that I will take 1 platoon with a supply vehicle.

For the rest I will just see what this year will bring me. One thing is certain I am going to enjoy it as much as possible because life is too beautiful to just let go by.

Thanks for reading.

Fortifications part 2

Minefields.
After the barbed wire i made 2 sections of minefields. Just a try and see how it works out. Must say that the result could be better but it is good enough for now. When i am going to make the next few i now know what i need to improve and do different. However that is for the future. Now i first go back and do some painting. I have some stuff to finish for the next tourney in August.

Fortifications part 1.

Barbed wire.
After playing some games in which my opponent used troops that could bring some fortifications on the table, but each time we had to place some pieces of white paper to represent it, i decided to make some of my own. I started with some barbed wire sections. Just simple made nothing fancy.
