"Well, as you know, I always felt we tried to go a bridge too far" - Gen. Browning

I have found something interesting out this past week. It is very satisfying to work on two very opposite projects at the same time. I have been spending a lot of time working on my AWI cavalry and light infantry. When I find them frustrating or boring...I just switch back to my Brit' Airlanding company

It means nothing gets completed fast...but I don't reach those 'blocks' I used to... at least so far.

So for my MW Airlanding Company:
  • The four Airlanding platoons are cleaned, glued to painting sticks, primed and base coated flesh; next comes flesh wash and highlighting.
  • The MG platoon is cleaned, based and the bases textured; next step is priming.
  • The Mortar platoon is cleaned and glued to painting sticks; next step is priming.
  • The Airlanding artillery platoon has been cleaned, guns assembled, crews glued to painting sticks; next step is priming.
  • One A/T platoon is cleaned and assembled; next step is gluing to paintsticks and priming
  • The other A/T platoon is still in the blisters.

I have a fifth Airlanding platoon in a blister. I plan on using the extra figures for the artillery command and staff team and perhaps a platoon of Royal Engineers (flamethrowers).

I will work some more on my Brit's when I get home tonight.

Tim, they call him...

Works well, doesn't it? I have been doing that for some time.

True, things don't get done as quickly but while one set of figures dry, you can work on the other project's figures. Right now tho, I am working on Colonial Egyptians in 15mm & 25mm, the same uniform in two different scales. Bleah...Time for some Italian armored tin cans!
