Do we need focus

This blog is kind of like my hobby, changing from day to day. I had originally thought that documenting what I was working on would keep me focused on one project however it has instead worked to show me the lack of attention I have!!! 

Well so be it, I guess it is what it is. One period I always go back to is Russian Civil War and WWI on the Eastern Front. I did my masters specialization on Russian/Soviet foreign policy during the early 20's and this period always seems to facinate me. Recently I have been reading Germany Ascendant The Eastern Front 1915 by Prit Buttar which caused me to dig out my Russian Civil War and Russian early WWI army. 


So the old Russians are being redone and the new packs are being painted. In the meantime here are some of my Russian Civil War stuff.

So to stop the unpainted lead pile from increasing to a level where I need a new apartment I made a deal. I can buy new figures if I paint 50% of the unpainted stuff I have!!!  I pulled out my box of shame and thought those Russians look nice. And there we went, last week they got painted and based. These are all Baccus 6mm figures with the exception of the commanders (Czar Alexander and some Russian general), which are from the Adler Russian command pack. These are really nice figures and a joy to paint.  So now I need to get this army or so done? And I can't buy more figures. Luckily I have the cavalry and some artillery in the box and even I...

Some workbench stuff

 Last year I was lucky enough to be able to attend the HGMS convention, my first miniature convention, and absolutely fell in love with the Wargaming Company ESR 10mm figure line. I left with a French army box and recently decided to expand the collection by buying some French and Russian packs from Nobel Miniatures and the Wargaming Company webstore.  The Wargaming Company figures fit in nicely with Pendraken 10mm, another range I love, are fantastic figures and a joy to paint.  I am not a great painter by any stretch but here are some pictures of the convention box and my workbench progress.

I finished up a bunch of 15mm WWI Russians the other night so decided to post a few pictures. I have the Germans but have to get moving on more Russians and the Austro-Hungarians. All the figures are from Peter Pig. More to come.
