Entry for February 25, 2007

Status Report:

My Scout, Weapons (LMG & Mortar), HMG and AT platoons, just need some detail work, base detailing and varnishing.

My three Rifle platoons just need the "green" web gear painted and I can move them up to the status of my Scout platoon.

I spent this weekend in between other things getting the khaki leggings & musette bags painted, plus the boots and drybryshing the bases. Its hard to believe, but I am almost there.

For detail work I need to check the figures, one by one for :

• errors and omissions
• painted rifle slings (leather) and buckles
• helmet chin straps (green)
  
• canteen caps (black)
  
• maybe chevrons (faded black)...

For bases:

• debris (rocks, boxes, spent cartridges, etc)
• flora (static grass, shrubs, palm fronds, etc)
• labels (platoon designation)
  

wow...another week and I should have it done!

Then I have to find me some son's of Nippon to send politely to the Deity of their choice (or nearest convenient parallel dimension.)
