Continued ACW progress and paint works

 At long last I have put in some time to finish a project.

The WH 40K 'sisters of battle' group is very nearly ready for matte coating.

The game table got into action again.

ACW minis are starting the muster for uniforms and being prepared for battle.

just the foot troops in their stages, from bottom to top
base colors, mid-tones, highlights

mid-tones and highlights for another squad
and the vehicle

final colors and metallic
only the banners need finishing

My eldest and middle sons got together with others for a fun day of 40K







The 15mm ACW forces for Bull Run are all ready for muster and may see paint sometime this coming month ...

Finally, I came across a free bit of a display cabinet and have begun to stage items within it.


some of the larger 54mm Napoleonic statues I have
along with a few matching 28mm ones I painted (top shelf)
a little sample of the ECW forces (mid shelf)
starting to lay out some of the bookshelf games
(bottom shelf)

later on I found that the sloops fit nicely in the
lower shelf area ... maybe all the Pirates will
fit in this area?

A whirlwind month in October, not elected and happy to put in plenty of time in fire practice and getting some extra-curricular volunteer time at the elementary school - doing a little relay race with the grade-schoolers, I haven't laughed that much in a long time.

Up next on the painting schedule are the flying contingent for the sisters and then the long-awaited start of kitting up for the American Civil War forces.

It looks like you have been really productive Murdock and your boys are enjoying 40K.That's a great looking collection of Sci-fi terrain too.

Thank you for the support Cod.

Are you back in action among the standing and sitting?

At this point, it is hard to say if there will be game action here this winter - maybe something down island in December? January?

Not quite yet. Possibly late Nov or early Dec I could manage a drive down island.
