    Well, they'll do!

    I'm very jealous that you've got yours finished - I haven't even started on mine...

    Looking bootiful Baz - so nice to see them being put to good use

    Would be interesting to see the comparison of the two big Ack's - one shapeways WSF and the same model resin printed at home.

    Very nice, Been busy with the normal table load of commissions lately. Mostly the same old stuff, Zulu, ACW, D and D figs, and some GW stuff for Jager. Did grab a sprue of the new Wargame Napoleonics though with my magazine. On the table and primed already and as soon as I finish off the last job of the year (22 down 5 to go) will get on em. Ended up with the Brit Sprue (wanted French) and will base them for Napoleons Battles. Will try and get pics when I am done. Looking like they are a MM or so larger then miniifigs so may mix well. Looking forward to getting a 3 pack of the infantry ones to test out though. Again will see if I can trim em down. On the flight line have not seen anything new from WOW in almost 2 years but then that was the last time my hobby shop had open games also. Looking like maybe next spring we will start back up. Then I will get to test out a new FoW army or two.

    Been doing a lot of Gaslands builds hoping to run a family game at Christmas. Most is a Stranger Things theme, my youngest niece is a huge fan of the show. Also had to make a Santa for a Wings game!

    The U-Haul from the end of Season 3. It's a 40 can build meant to be its own team in case odd number of players or if anyone wants to go it alone. Minigun, side rams, and side harpoon manned by Necromunda Zed "Hackjaw".

    Those look great, Chris! Did you see the recent Fuel World kickstarter? I backed it at the Weapons n More tier for greebles and other doodads. Campaign is over, but it looks like the creator is selling the STLs directly now.

    Thanks, Chris. I hadn't seen that KS campaign, looks like some nice goodies!

    Happy New years everyone (Ok, a few hours early).

    Got my table cleared of ALL my commissions (6 this month) and have time to paint my stuff again. This means blow the dust off my 30 year old collection of unpainted 15mm Napoleonic's again (around 3K figs of which about 50% are painted) and do 4 units of British. Also finished up the sprue from Wargames Mag this month.

    EDIT: Also got in my copy of Napoleon's Battles 4th Edition today so I can retire my 1Ed box set from Avalon Hill.

    Enjoy

    Congrats for clearing out your commissions queue, Ken. I'm sure that won't last for long

    NB 4th Ed, hmm...... Let me know what you think of it. I played 1st Ed way back, and >somewhere< I have a set of Bavarian troops in 15mm to paint up
    (Probably buried in the attic ).

    Lots of great items here.

    Nice batch of panes Baz. Look forward to seeing them in coming AARs.

    Chris, those Gaslands buildings and cars are great. Guess I better get working on mine.

    Ah, now my true love, Napoleon's Battles! Nice British Ken. I still have a couple copies of the AH edition. Got but never played the 2nd and 3rd eds. Have and want to use the 4th but haven't read through it yet. Since being infected with Wings in 2013 I haven't painted a Napoleonic figure but am getting the itch again. I went all in starting with Minifigs way back, then to Old Glory and AB. The only nations I have yet to paint are Sweeden, Denmark and the Confederatkion of the Rhine.

    Just some of the 3 cabinets of 15mm Naps!

    The bad boy himself in Old Glory. The AB figure is far superior but I have yet to paint him up.

    Dang, Peter. you need to run a NB game at Historicon! I'd be first in line.

    AB is Anthony Barton, probably the best figure sculptor out there. Figures from the old Imperial line were his. I think there was another line too, but he was getting ripped off so started his own line.
    His Napoleonics are incredible. More like 18mm vs 15mm. You can get them through Eureka Miniatures USA. He also does some amazing 20mm WW2 figures.

    I give, yours are much better them mine Peter. My collection is mostly Mini figs, Old Glory, and a smattering of Jacobites (Horrid figs), TTG, and Essex if I remember right. Played 1st ed a few times back in the stone ages (Pre Y2K), never saw 2nd or 3rd ed, and 4th on first read through is not that different, but there are some tweaks and added rules it seems. Also have both 1st ed scenario books, the Napoleons battles General Issue (green cover) and a few other bits. Most of my Old Glory stuff is first run 100 fig packs back from the original release days including the French officers pack with all the named marshals (including a guy named Dillion). Still unpainted so have the name tags sprues still on them. Sadly, where I used to get 100 Infantry of over a dozen sculpts for $12.50 USD, now I have to order them in 50 packs for $21 from 19th century Mins with fewer sculpts.

    Yeah, those were the days when Old Glory started out. I still have bags and bags of them. Jacobites! Unseen I once ordered a Russian Corp pack, what disgusting figures. The heads were soooo big they were my ET Corp. Luckily I sold them.

    Those diced hat bands on your Scots are magic Pete.
    It reminds me of my Scots AWI units and their tartan socks, and plaid. I was glad when I got onto the Brigade in trews and redcoats with only shoulder sashes.
