I continue to fight the good fight in the never ending war of unfinished projects sitting around my painting desk. These past few weeks I grabbed the last strip of TravelBattle Fusiliers and finished them up. I have just the Hussars and Commanders to go at this point, and I think I'll try to finish them up next while motivation for it is high.

I actually picked up another copy of the game for cheap from a local eBayer. So I have a British army to get to at some point as well.

I can't remember for how long these Marauder Bombers have been sitting on my desk. They were originally slated to be part of the Knight army, but when I rebased those Thunderbolts to pull double duty with the Minervans these came a long for the ride. I've been meaning to finish converting and painting them so this was what I worked on these past two weeks as part of the great desk clean off.

To make them WYSIWYG I added a tail-chaser gun that matched the dorsel gun using a round-ended pin. The lascannons were chopped off of some SM.TL guardsmen and glued to the wings. Nothing fancy on the paint job, just matching what I did seven (!) years ago for the Knight's Thunderbolts.

I finished up another 42 15mm Americans this week, effectively doubling what I had painted.

Joining the platoon is another 20 riflemen, 4 NCOs, 2 Bazooka teams, a 50 Cal team, 3 BARs and some COs.

I still have a few support options for Chain of Command that I want to finish up, as well as figure out how I'm going to convert a flamethrower team.

I started building M3 Halftracks at the start of the month and got most of the way through with them before I lost interest two weeks ago. I'll head back and finish them at somepoint but in the meantime I've been painting for riflemen to fill out the platoon and also built a paratrooper platoon on the whim.

The greens are done as of this week, and I've started in on the leather and wood. After that's done it'll be the skin, metal and bases.
