July 2011 Totals

July was pretty slow as far as models go.  My cat died over one weekend which kinda put a bummer on stuff and slowed me down, and my wife and I went to two different weddings over two different weekends.  Ive also been trying to get back on track as far as exercising and getting a decent amount of sleep (my doctor said Im sleep deprived).  Anyway, all of that takes away from painting time!

That being said, I still got a small unit of Taliban completed (I guess thats gonna be a monthly thing :) ), a small test batch of some WW2 Fallschirmjager, and several 20mm vehicles.

I made three small internet purchases in July
~50 dollars on British and Afghan soldiers (mostly Brits) (Britannia Miniatures)
~50 dollars on a platoon of 2009 Marines (Elhiem Miniatures)
~20 dollars on several miscellaneous figures - a wmik, a couple taliban leadership, some Brit soldiers (Liberation Miniatures)

Completed, for July, 2011:

20mm infantry completed: 16
12 Taliban (Liberation Miniatures)
4 Fallschirmjager (Platoon Miniatures) 

1/72 Armor completed: 5
1 Bradley (Trumpeter)
2 Cougar MRAPs (S and S Models)
2 Technicals (S and S Models)

In progress, July/August, 2011:
20mm Infantry in progress: 14
12 Taliban (Liberation and Britannia Miniatures) 
2 Special Forces (Liberation Miniatures)

Another unit of grenade chucking, goat fucking Taliban are on my table and ready to go.  Im also almost finished with a Terry Taliban dshk heavy machine gunner and loader.  Finally, im sort of trying out a couple different recipes for a decent ACU pattern, and Im working on a couple spec forces guys that I had sitting around from Liberation.  One of them is nearly finished, and Im pretty happy with the way he has turned out.  Probably post him up tomorrow...

The Britannia Brits arrived last week.  I really want to start working on the US Marines I bought from Elhiem, but they havent come in yet.  Hoping to finish off the small unit of Taliban im in the middle of now, and then hammer out the Marines if they get in soon - all in August.
