Entry for April 14, 2007

So...in the past few days I have FINISHED my Marines!!

HUZZAH!
HUZZAH!
HUZZAH!

HUZZ...oh look a bunny...here bunny, bunny, bunny...

Actually it was more like HUZZ...oh look, I can have tanks too...

Once more into the breach my friends (ie my ADD kicked in)...

I decided to take a break from my Marines and finish my Soviet Mixed Tank Battalion. Since this only involved decaling, weathering and varnishing ten T-34's (Medium Tank Company) I decided to give it a shot (I had assembled and sprayed them green some time back). I decided to run the points with the Ostfront book (originally I used "Za Stalina!").

Turns out the seven KV-1S's and the ten T-34 Obr. 41's is almost 1500 pts. So my eight Lend-lease M3A1 Stuarts were superfluous. It occured to me that they were ready made (assembled and base coated) for my Marine light tank support, well five of them at least. I will have to figure out what to do with the remaining three.

Oh wait...I said, "...seven KV-1S's and the ten T-34 Obr. 41's is almost 1500 pts...". I have five BA-10 armored cars and tank riders for the T-34's to make up the rest of the points.

Anyway...so now I have the aircraft to paint (3x), both objective markers to paint, and the M3A1'a to finish...
