Finally Painted Something

Since my last post, I've been squeezing in a few minutes here and there, when I can, for either cleaning old miniatures or painting new ones.  It is my painting after all, so understandably, nothing special.  But, I have finally painted something this year, and am celebrating with a blog post.

First up is a batch of nine Bradleys.

 

Still need to do one more to complete my company.  As it turned out, I didn't have a set of usable tracks for the last one.

Next is a batch of Soviet vehicles which will see double duty in Mugabia (one of my African Imagi-nations).

 
The BTR152s and T34/85 are my own castings, while the BTR60s, GAZ 66, and GAZ 69 are from QRF (all very nice castings by the way).

And lastly, some M60A2s, VBLs, and ERC90s.

 
 
Many of my resin castings were rejects with some sort of casting defect.  Most were easy to fix, though a few, I just let go. Despite either getting up at 5:30 am, or on a couple of occasions, pushing myself to paint after 12+ hour days at work, it felt good to finally get something done.

  1. I know the feeling about getting something done, mainly
    because it happens so rarely ...) Some very nice work here, well done!

    1. Chuckaroobob, did you e-mail me way back about a problem with the VBL machine gun rings? If so, please e-mail me, so I can fix it.
