Heading to Historicon!!!

Last year when I drove the three and a half hours to Historicon and the three and a half hours back it was my first experience of a Wargame/Miniature convention and it blew away my expectations. So much so that I decided to engage in the same insanity this year and I excited!!! So tomorrow morning at about 6am I will grab some coffee and be on my way for what I am sure will be an amazing day and evening of miniatures. Hopefully when I recover, likely by next week at somepoint, I will post some pictures and impressions. 

For now my obsesion with 1806 Prussians continues. I just love the look of this army and have parts of it in 15/18mm, 10mm and 6mm. These are some pictures of the 6mm collection. Most of these are the lovely Turner miniature figures.

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.
