10mm yes a real departure for me. Always fancied doing some early WW11 but not British or German. My mate Derek was also looking for something new and fairly cheap. He already has loads of 15mm WW11 and after a few games of Panzer Grenadier I had invested in some Peter Pig Polish paras and Germans. Also got some of the Plastic Soldier Shermans, 251's and Stugs. Sold all my Luftwaffe FD a couple of years ago. Silly me!!! Still PP has redone a lot of his packs and the new stuff is nice. After talking in the club one night I decided on Belgians and this is the result, minis are from Pithead Miniatures. Some cavalry units used Marmon Herringtons to tow their 76mm guns. Pithead don't make one but I got a couple extra of their MH armoured cars, shaved of some of the plates, left off the turret and added a roof.
I was looking at my collection and guess what, there are a lot more projects to be finished that I thought. Finishing off rebasing the Samnite/Italiot.
Painting the bases of my Repo Roman Allied force.
Start and finish 2 infantry and 1 cavalry regt for my Napoleonics.
Painting and basing about a dozen japanese civilians for my Samurai.
Getting on with the Bronze Age collections. Sea People, Myceneana, Libyan, Amazon and maybe some Egyptians.
I like to say that is all but there are also some Foundry Gladiators that I got when they first came out but there are still about 6 to do and getting Spartacus 1 and 2 for Christmas did inspire me a bit.
Then there are some AWI and some Macedonians that may get added to when Warlord release their plastic set.
