February 2011 Totals

Looking back on my post of January totals, I listed several 'goals' of miniatures I wanted to work on/complete, and for the first time in a long time (maybe ever!) I finished everything that I set out to do, and a little more!

I completed a unit of 15mm ACW infantry,  a Napoleonic sailing vessel, a pirate, and a small SWAT team (which wasnt on 'my list').  My painting slowed down considerably while I got back into Star Trek Online, which is a shame really because I was really starting to get on a roll - most of what I completed was done by Feb 15th or so.

I made one small purchase - some modern armor from IrishSerb.

Completed, for February, 2011:

28mm infantry completed: 6
1 Pirate (Black Scorpion)
5 SWAT members (Foundry)

1/1200 Napoleonic naval vessel completed: 1
1 Spanish 64 Gun Ship (Langton Miniatures)

15mm infantry completed: 24
24 Confederate, with a few Union sprinkled in (Peter Pig)


In progress, February/March, 2011:
Turtle Tank in progress: 1
Turtle Tank from Eureka Miniatures

Mini Sci Fi Vessel in progress: 1 
1 NAC Suffolk Class escort (GZG Miniatures)  

1/2400 Modern Ships: 4 
1 Arleigh Burke Class ship (GHQ Miniatures)
3 Los Angeles Class submarines (GHQ Miniatures)

15mm Modern Armor: 3 
2 M2 Bradley tanks (IrishSerb)
1 HMMWV (IrishSerb)

I have a several models sitting on my desk, that im considering 'in progress', although Im not really working on them yet.  Im still waiting for the weather to change a bit so I can use an airbrush on them.  I also have an order in with QRF for one more Bradley, one more HMMWV, and an Abrams tank.  I plan on adding some stowage to all of them, and painting those, plus IrishSerb's stuff all at one time.

My current project, and one that truly is 'in progress', is the Turtle Tank from Eureka miniatures.  Im nearly done with the turtle and howdah, and only have 9 small turtles to paint.  I dont think they will take long if I can get the time to work on them.

I go to Cold Wars in March - basically, its gonna be my Christmas in March!  Im trying not to spend much money between now and then, or get into anything in particular (hence the Turtle Tank) before I go.  Ive been looking at the vendors who are going to be there, and Im looking at some Successors, some Carthaginians, or maybe even some Romans.  I havent done much in the 'Ancient' realm, but Im itching too.

25-28mm infantry completed: 11
