I thought I would start a blog to try and keep track of the things that I paint/make as well as any other hobby related stuff I get up too (this might even include the odd game). The plan this year is to reduce the amount of stuff I have and to try and make my hobby pretty much cost neutral. This means I am going to be selling stuff off and asking for wargames related stuff for birthday presents.
The aim is to stick to two main periods both in 28mm. These are going to be WW2 and the Anglo-Zulu war. I already have collection of both of these, with a decent amount painted, so the initial aim is going to be to paint what I already have. I am planning on using Chain of command and Boltaction for WW2 games so I do need to get hold of a couple of things to be able to field the full platoons needed for these rules. I am planning on focusing on WW2 first and when I have made a good dent in this I will move over to the Zulu war. I might flip between the two a bit to vary the painting.
On top of this there will be the odd side projects of helping out my kids with their stuff e.g. My eldest got the Flames of War starter for Christmas so I am going be helping him paint that up.
I have made a decent start this year and have so far finished 35 fallschirmjagers which will form the core of a platoon plus a few support options. I will put some pictures of these up soon along with some of the bits I already have finished.
