Oooh, pretty!
Oooh, pretty!
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
Damn nice. The sheer scale of it all - 1700 minis! I got tired of painting a few hundred Zombicide minis. I should stop complaining and get back to work.
Very inspiring, Paul!
Paul, I can't fathom the detail you maintain across so many miniatures.
Nice Camels. too, Dan.
Very nice, Ezekiel!
Lovely job!

Ezekiel,
That is pretty darn awesome!
Chris - looks like you might be taking over where Matt left off.
Ezekiel - that u-boat looks awesome. I still have not attempted to assemble the cardboard one that came with the game.
Oh my god the damage deck box is incredible....
Never Knowingly Undergunned !!
Easier than it would seem, Pete. The same way commanders do - through organization. The basic 'manoeuvre' unit has between 10 and 50 miniatures - cavalry on 3 per base / infantry on 6 or 8 per base with 4-6 bases per unit. The units are organized in 'division' about 7 'divisions' per side with two players per side.
In terms of managing my collection there are several things that help - a database (actually an excel file), a long history of the period (since the 150th anniversary of Waterloo), an extensive library of the various armies (organization and uniforms) and building it up over a long period of time (familiarity).
The main challenge is storage and 'now, where did I put that unit?' In setting up the game the 'historical order of battle' will never match the units in my collection so it took some thinking to figure out how to best use my collection.
Great looking card holder Chris.
I bet the Elves will learn to program this bird so it can fly in the house from room to room.
Well done Daniel! What a lucky family! You can add flaps, airspeed, altitude instruments each year! She'll be flying jumbo jets one day!
Dave, was it a challenging build? That thing looks like a lot of fun!
Daniel - quite a project! Love it.
Now it's focused on unjamming guns (everything you can hit), sun in your eyes (light) and identification of an enemy (bird sticker). Observer / gunner training first, then daddy can lend her his tiny planes in next step
By the way, it's the easiest project ever: you just dig into your warehouse, garage or any other place, find what you don't need anymore and out it on board
How does it fly? That looks like a lot of fun. Maybe not in 106F though
Gunsmithing bench: Last piece to complete my M4 ordered.
Future projects: Looking for sources on 1/300 or smaller WW1 and WW2 tanks, and good paint references on same--I have a harebrained idea for a little business venture I'm toying with the idea of, thinking about suggesting to Herr Oberst that we raffle off a few Alpha Test batches as a site fundraiser.
Brilliant idea, and your box looks great!
For anyone else inspired to make one of these (like me), here's the Broken Token listing:

My favourite damage deck holder is still this one:

Unfortunately marked 'sold out'
Well, if you stretch that to 1:285, you pull in the whole line from GHQ. Back in the day, they did the best modelling for microarmor. Heroics & Ros models are 1:300, so you can look there, and they have a decent set of WWI stuff in addition to WWII. I haven't looked at the market in about 20 years, so my info may be out of date.
Nice job on the card holder. I assume Broken Token is the company that produced it?
Thanks, Joe! Yes, Broken Token makes storage for various games. I got this on amazon: deck holder
Chris, if you excuse an English expression, that box is absolutely the "dog's bollocks", it's beautiful. p.s. I have no idea why a dog's testicles are considered the peak of briliance but that box is brilliant
I can't believe I went and checked this. DB= excellent, the best. As well as all previous examples. That box is really, really, really, good.
TBH, Daryl, I was thinking of GHQ's 1/285 as in the "about 1/300" basket, looking at them for "Low Altitude," 1/600 Pico Armor as "Medium Altitude" and still looking for a 1/1000-1/1200-ish scale line as "High Altitude." GHQ doesn't do WWI, so I may need to look at H&R for WGF too.
I've only been away a week and I return to find all of this magnificent work on display. Love it all - Zeps, deck holder, U boat, Napoleonic figures and scenery the lot - talk about wow factor. Inspiring gents, purely inspiring
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
Lovely work, as always, Tim.
I think you now have more Belgians that a lot of players have Brits or French.
Very nice Belgians Tim. I like the colors as they are a break from Entente Red, white and blue.
Awesome Belgians!
Beauties, Tim!
Great job on those Nieuports.
Superb work on your Belgian targets Tim REP mate
What a wonderful creation. I would want to play the game just to use the box!!
