It's been very slow progress on the workbench of late, partly due to being away at half term and partly due to work, which has changed again and now involves a full five days a week. I've also had a horrible cold and chest infection, which seems to have really sapped at my energy levels. As a result, I've had little time or inclination to sit in a freezing cold garage and paint things but hope to get started again, in readiness for which I have undercoated the various 1/600 scale merchant vessels that I assembled a couple of weeks ago for the coastal warfare project.
These are a the initial priority, rather than yet more warships, escorts and fast attack craft, as without a convoy there wouldn't be much of a game! I'll do a wet brush, dry brush and wash approach with these in an attempt to get them finished as quickly as I can. I also want to get round to some more naval wargaming stuff this month, with a couple of on-going projects being re-booted and an exciting new project on the horizon, based on the excellent Tumbling Dice range of 1/2400th scale warships.
Get well soon. I had a chest infection once and they're no joke.
ReplyDeleteHmm, must copy those barges in 1/3000th and pressmould them. Did you ever see my older reply about using this game with 1/3000th stuff? Would it work?
ReplyDeleteYes I did and I think you could be on to something.. worth a try anyway!
ReplyDeleteExcellent, just printed off the rulesset, I'll give them a good read when I have a day off this week and see if I can make things click :)
