I am. I’m always looking for something new. It’s not enough that the current painting and project queue consists of 15mm DBA Ancients, 1/6000 World War 1 ships, 1/3000 World War 1 and 2 ships, 1/1200 scale Aeronefs, 2mm Land Ironclads, 1/300 scale Napoleonic and Ancients (and lots of the Napoleonic’s I might add), a nominal 1/3000 scale space fleet and 6mm World War 2 and Future War Commander armies but I need to look for more.
What did I do?
I ordered a sample pack of the Oddzial Osmy 1/600th scale (that’d be 3mm) figures. Given the stellar performance of the Aussie dollar at the moment, the sample pack of these figures only cost me Aussie $10, including postage from the US. So, I order the Yom Kippur War sample pack from PicoArmor.com of Illinois, USA. The pack contents includes:
- 3 Centurion
- 3 M113
- 3 M109
- 3 T-55
- 3 BTR-50
- 3 Polish M-30 howitzer
- and 3 Infantry
It’ll be fun to paint these up and test out the basing of these vehicles and figures. If, as I expect, these vehicles and figures work out as well as I think they will, then the creative juices will be flowing and I’ll think about adding another project to the list – perhaps something around the Middle East – or perhaps a mini collection.
First – let’s get the figures and have a look at them. Then let’s worry about the project queue.
Of course, the great thing about that painting queue above is that it conveniently ignores the all the lead unpainted under Mum's house which includes a butt-load of Amercian Civil War in 15mm, a few 15mm DBM armies, lots of 1/300th scale aircraft and 15mm and 25/28mm Hordes of the Things. Hmm, maybe it is time to organise the painti8ng queue more effectively.
