Ok I'm very confused. I am sure I started this thread late last week... where has it gone? I must be going insane! Anyway so this being the third (!) time I have typed up this months plan I will cut to the chase... My aim is to complete everything I currently own for FoW. Basically that breaks down into 2 camps - Details & finishing on previous figures and the figures that will be done start to finish. Details/finishing involves 3 M4A3 Shermans, 4 M10 Tank Hunters, 4 3/4t Trucks & 1 Jeep that need touch ups then details & decals added. All the infantry teams need to be bought up to the same level (early figures need more detailing), plus detailing the bases & touch ups. This months target 3 infantry teams that will be used for an Information and Reconaissance Platoon 6 machine gun teams, 3 light mortar teams. 5 Command/Carbine Teams 5 Jeeps. If I can get that done I will have painted everything I own to a "finished" level. The upside of doing the models I currently own is that I can save up for next months rather expensive purchase (a full strength Platoon of 105mm Howitzers!) Pics to follow shortly. (sorry this is so dull but I honestly dont know what happened to the previous 2 copies I've done! )

Holy crap? Everything! I must stop messing around with 15mm terrain and start painting again! It'd rock to have a game with fully painted US and NZ forces. Speaking of terrain I've almost got a full set of those trenches drybrushed in Normandy colours I'm about to hand over to your table . I need to do maybe three more little pieces. Plus I've got a bunch more unsellable 'rejects' if you want any more trench terrain yourself and don't mind patching some rather large bubbles.

OK well just taking a quick break from squinting & hunching. ;D Things are looking good for a decent posting, have finished off the three Shermans (tidied up, decals, aerials etc) & tidied up the M10s so now I actually like the way they look, I haven't detailed them but should get that done this arvo. Ive also done the 3 Light mortar bases and 4 of the 6 machine gun bases & about 90% finished on the I & R platoon. That means Ive got 2 Machine gun teams and 2 command carbine teams to finish up and I will have completed my target for this month but not quite caught up on everything from last month. Anyway, X-fingers I'll be back posting before midnight.

Ok Well I'm done and its only 10:10pm! Overall Im pretty happy with what I've achieved this month. As always my time management should have been better and I could have finished more teams but putting that aside not too bad. I completed a full strength Weapons Platoon, the infantry teams of an I & R Platoon and a half strength Heavy Machine Gun Platoon. Doing these has pretty much emptied my bits box and finished all the figures I currently have for FoW (except 2 jeeps!). That allows me to buy more next month! YEAH! (well this month now ) Whilst I didn't get everything tidied up as I wanted I did get the Shermans finished off and M10s ready to have decals added so that was the main target. I was actually embarrased by some of the highlighting on the M10s so I'm glad to have got that sorted. Anyway check out a few more pics: www.album.co.nz/a?1247

Nice work Aaron! Good to see those US tankers finally applied their recognition markings ...funny how much they look like big damn targets though eh?
