Ça marche toujours ce truc ? Et ben...
Dernier post, mai 2020. On était en plein dans un petit truc qui s'appelle COVID, les plus vieux d'entre nous s'en rappellent peut-être.
Bon, puisque c'est toujours là, autant s'en servir, ce serait bête de laisser gâcher. La suite en anglais, pour les besoins du public.
Is this thing still on ? Well, I'll be damned.
Last post is dated may 2020, right from the COVID era, for those of us old enough to remember it.
Might as well take advantage of it since it's still there...
Alright, this is a poorly-lighted fairly crummy picture of my current project, a 125 points Force for Clash of Steel, the tank-based Flames of War spinoff.
We are on sunday, the next match will be this thurday, november 12th. Will this be all ready in 4 days ? Well, it depends on what you call "ready". 😅
HQ : T57, fully assembled
Platoon 1 : 3 M103, fully assembled
Platoon 2 : 3 M103, table ready, which is to say almost fully assembled, missing a few details but who's going to notice anyway ?
Platoon 3 : 4 M48A5, fully assembled
Recon : 3 M4A3E8, aka Easy 8. They're actually old, very old M4A3s I picked from a surprisingly dusty shelf, since I couldn't locate the actual M4A3E8 trio at the time of taking the pic. On the bright side, they're kind of painted.
What's next ?
HQ, platoon 1 & 3 are getting washed, literally, like with warm water & soap, to make sure there's no releasing oil, dust & other assorted annoyances before the turrets get magnetized, and I airbrush a black undercoat. With a little luck, they might even get their base coat before thursday.
The Easy 8s have been located, and are missing a couple details, much like platoon 2. Once everything that needs to get glued is glued, they'll follow the same process as the rest of the Force, though likely not in time for thursday's match.
A fully built, mostly basecoated Force for a match. I've come a long way, haven't I ?
