Painting Challenge 19 - The End

The End

Jun 7 - Jun 30

The Challenge has had to come to an end.  The Empress has decreed a halt to most hobby efforts, until I finish a lot of construction on the house.  We hope to be able to put the house up for sale this winter, and move to a new area outside of Connecticut.

For now, I will fall short with 715 items painted out of the 1000 I had hoped to get done.  As I did very little from the first week of June and still had 2 full months to go, I think I would have come very close to the target.  

Here are some of the things I did get done.


Meet Ta'Boor

Campion of Khorne the Blood God



I think it is a very old Citadel figure gifted to me by my partner in Friday Games Joe.  Found it after a reorganization of my stash and decided to just get it done.  Not sure what I will do with it but I like it.


More Carthaginians



Victrix plastic done up as Heavy Spearmint.  Have finished another full stand, but have not yet done the LBM Transfers, so no photo.


Small Scale



Completion of a Soviet SAM battery and 3 M-60,s done up as modern Daharan armored vehicles.


Neapolitan Guard Halbardiers



Perry Plastics.  This will add add a 5th Battalion of guards to my Neapolitan Army, having already done the Grenadiers, Marines and 2 Velite units.

So enough for now, will start putting my full collections on display in the very near future.

 Time for an Introduction I started to war-game with a friend in Jr High School back in the 1960's.  We made good use of the toy department at WT Grants Department Store.  In those days, ROCO mini tanks were sold for around 50 cents.  They also had plastic 1/72 scale planes and model ships.  We did it all for the 3 years in Jr High.   I continued wargaming all through high school and then entered the ROTC program in  college.  There I met Joe Fish ( pancerni@fish tales.blogspot) and began a friendship that has lasted since 1970.  A tour as an Infantry Officer in Germany led to a lot of solo games. During those times I kept a record of all the games thinking that at some point I would consolidate them into a narrative for my own pleasure.  Long about 1985 or so I created a fictitious country in the Atlantic that I called Dahara.  The name was derived from names of places on my other hobby, a model railroad All of the games I played, ...

Uniforms of Dahara 7

  UNIFORMS OF DAHARA 7 The Guard de Corps The quiet countryside of a late spring day in Dahara is shattered by the sounds of trumpets and thundering hooves.  The Guard de Corps, pride of the Army, is on the move towards the battle front with Fuddland. The sunlight shines off their gold cuirasses.  Their commanding officer, Count  Lubbock, is resplendent with his golden helmet topped with a bold red comb.  His trumpeter, Max, is in reversed colors with a white comb.  He does not ride a grey horse.  The Guard rides a matched set of Black horses from the Master's Stud.  Their tack is bold red. Daharan Blue tunics with red facings clothe all of the regiment.  Other ranks wear black combs on their golden helmets. Soon Fuddland will tumble to the sound of the guard approaching!

Painting Challenge Jan 27 - Feb 2 In small scale painting this week is a 6mm/1-285 scale Tornado attack aircraft from GHQ Models.  This will be used in modern micro armor games for the Cold War, as well as for the Imperial Daharan Army Air Corps. In the above photos, we have more of my Thirty Years War project.  The first one is for a 4th Shotte unit. Two shot units will be paired with a pike unit to make one larger unit.  The bottom photo is of more figures for a commanded shot unit.  I will have enough figures for several of this type of unit. Here we have more figures for my Neapolitan army.  This will complete the 1st Battalion of the 5th Regiment which wore Green facings.  A photo of the completed battalion is below. This completed the painting for January.  The statistics are as follows. Beginning Balance 9849 Added 54 Painted 103 Ending Balance 9800
