This year has been even more of a washout when it comes to painting stuff, once again due to work and illness sapping my time and energy. I did complete the 1/3000th scale heavy units for the Kriegsmarine and Royal Navy early war fleets but not the rest of the British forces which are still waiting to be tackled. I also completed the 1/2400th scale Royal Navy Napoleonic fleet, which I really enjoyed painting albeit stretched out over several months, although I still haven't played any games with them yet.
The Soviet half of the 1/600th scale aircraft for the Continuation War project were finished but not the Finnish contingent, or the 1/300th scale Soviet aircraft either, despite making a good start on the latter. I also built a 1/72nd scale Bristol Scout for Knights of the Sky but had to drop out of the actual game due to illness. A handful of 1/600th USAF aircraft were also finished for MiG Alley. To wrap up an unspectacular year, I painted three test bases of 2mm English Civil War infantry, cavalry and artillery, then ran out of time to do any more before the holidays. I think my report card for 2024 will read 'must do better!'
Lovely stuff! For someone who has done a considerable amount of 1/72 WWI, that Bristol Scout is a real show stopper!

ReplyDeleteThe Napoleonic fleet is amazing!
ReplyDeleteWhere did you find the models and which rules do you use ? as I am considering adding this to my Napolionic repertoire which I play in 2mm
Any thoughts really would be appreciated
Thanks. The models are Tumbling Dice 1/12400th scale. I use a few different sets of fleet level rules including Far Distant Ships and Grand Fleet Actions in the Age of Sail
