This is a Tamiya 1/48 scale kit that IlVJ gifted me a couple of Christmases ago, I finally completed it, I'll be using if for Rifts, as a mercenary unit apc.
It is a modern day Japanese Defense Force vehicle, but it looks modern and I thought it would work well for that setting.
This week we have a trio of swamp denizens, a lizardman from Ral Partha and a couple of plastic Warhammer skinks from 4th edition.
They'll surely see action in my D&D campaign.
In the 2023 final post I had anticipated my intention to start working on the pile of 1/72 Napoleonic troops I have had sitting for ages.
Most if it comes from the generosity of our friend Fele', who gave us all his old Esci 1/72 soldiers, WWII, Napoleonics, etc
Last year I worked to finish my Ancient 1/72 stuff and did a bit of colonial, this year I focused on Napoleonics, I had a big bunch of French line infantry, so I decided to start with that to have a strong starting base for the project.
The plan is to use these models for One hour wargames, a cool system that, albeit simple, is very satisfactory to play.
With the first lot of guys I got 4 regiments of French line infantry and 2 of Italian allied troops, just not to have to paint over 100 models in the same colour scheme.
As usual I used the Army Painter Quick Shade, to have the models finished quickly and very well protected from the wear of the battlefield.
Here is the result:
This is a model that my brother gifted me for Christmas a couple of years ago, I built and airbrushed it last summer and finally got around to complete it.
I don't yet own a German army, but IlVJ does, so it could be used there, I might even end up putting one together eventually.
