Countdown to Vimy – (Less than) 7 weeks to go!

The Plan for this past week was to:


#1 PAINT GERMANS! AS MANY AS POSSIBLE!

CHECK!




Mostly complete 263rd Reserve Infantry Regiment earlier on the weekend. Just need to finish up the bases on these now.

I have finished up the rest of the 263rd Reserve Infantry Regiment – which finishes up the 79th Reserve Infantry Division. I do have three more battalions that were thrown in from the reserves that I COULD finish up… but I think they’ll be last minute items, if I get around to them at all. As they’d show up later, I’m sure there will be enough German casualties by the time I need them that I could just recycle miniatures… I should likely get to posting more pictures of these later today.


This Week:

#1 PAINT BRITISH AND CANADIANS! AS MANY AS POSSIBLE!
Still have 60 Canadians and 30 British to paint. I’d like to finish up as many as possible over the next week. Luckily there’s a school break this week so all the kids regular activities are cancelled which means I basically don’t have to leave the house for a week if I don’t have to… gonna get me some PAINTING done!

March
Build Terrain!

April
Make more wire and barrage markers


Coming soon on Tim’s Miniature Wargaming Blog:

  1. Clever bit of psychology there! Disguise the Germans as X-wings and fool yourself into painting them as a distraction.

    1. Ha! Except I have even less desire to paint spaceship miniatures at this point...

  2. Looking forward to seeing your painted troops dress themselves smartly by the right for their regimental snap shots.

  4. Gosh, your doing well ! So are you going to drop off and paint both sides of a skirmish game, just to give you that extra pressure to finish? No I'm sure it's finish khaki and on to terrain and finish with time to spare!

    1. Oh, I'm sure there will be a distraction or two in the next 7 weeks... but I'm MOSTLY staying on target!
