Or, 1/300 scale vs 2mm size. I finished the Anglo-Saxons during the week and had decided that I would like to do something non-historical. I have a lot of Aeronefs in the lead-pile and felt that working on the long stalled Peshawar project would be a good idea. Much time was spent (OK, the length of time for a nice cup of tea) pondering which of the Aeronef forces to paint. I also looked at the Land Forces. I don’t have any Land Ironclads here but I do have the makings of roughly 6 battalions of infantry plus supporting elements from the six imagi-nations in the set.
Fast forward to last Wednesday and as I walked into the office, I was handed two cards from the Post Office. There were parcels to collect. I then spend the rest of the afternoon, in between teleconferences, pondering which of the items I had ordered in January and February were waiting for me.

Were they:
- Aircraft and Buildings from Heroics and Ros
- Aircraft and Buildings from Scotia
- Book from Pen and Sword
- A book from the Naval Institute Press
- Rules (Bag the Hun in particular) from Too Fat Lardies
- one or two other items I have forgotten
I went to the Post Office on Thursday and picked up the parcels. Aircraft and buildings from both Heroics and Ros, and Scotia. Damn. Now the usual indecision cut in … new toys or ones from the lead pile. Bright, shiny, glittering new toys, or old, dusty figures I have stored for several years?
Now I need decide what to paint next. The 2mm figures are my American ground forces for the Peshawar project but the aircraft are, if nothing else, impressive with the size of the B-29 (there are three of them) and the Shinden, which looks like it is flying backwards!
Decisions, decision, decisions!
You know what I’m going to say here! Land ironclads! Start those infantry, while you wait for some nice shiny new land ironclads to be be dispatched from Brigade Models! 🙂

The lack of suitable airframe silver paint in my paint locker does have me leaning towards the Land Ironclads
