An open wallet

Alrighty, it looks like since Hotlead, I’ve gone on a bit of a spending spree. I had two packages at the door today when I returned from running some household errands.

I ordered 2 packages of French Foreign Legion from Wargames Foundry. £24.00 + £15.00_ shipping converted to Canadian is a whopping $68.46.

Seriously £15 shipping for 14 miniatures. 

I have 7 of these guys painted up already so wanted to get a few more. 

Maybe next time I should wait for a sale or something. Hey, at least they threw in a free figure that I have no idea what range it is from.

I also ordered 7 figures from Artizan Designs and the March and April issues of Wargames Illustrated. With £10 shipping this converted to about $69.49 The April WI issue came with some Warlord Games Epic English Civil War figures that hopefully I can trade or sell at next years Hotlead convention.

It is an interesting scale but I don’t have the capacity for any more projects right now.

The photos of the miniatures are below.

I also placed a small order with Westwind Productions. It converted to $35.11 Canadian, but that’s for 8 miniatures total.

Lastly I purchased 3 pots of Citadel contrast paints and a can of primer for $52.45.

So with a previous hobby budget of $208.19 plus another $225.51 for a total of $433.70

I also added 29 figures to the lead mountain.

Today it’s pretty hot out and I primed 13 Battletech miniatures.

Finishing touches

Small update.

I painted 6 Pirates belonging to  the Artizan Designs and Crusader Miniatures ranges last year but I haven’t had a chance to base them. 

I finally got around to it last week. I used the Tropical Beach Sand from Geek Gaming Scenics.

I also received my RCW Ukrainians from my painter Karl and decided to get the flag on ASAP. I just have to touch up the edge where the white seam shows through.

Lastly I built about 10 of Warlord Games plastic German Grenadiers. There were 30 in the box.

I got frustrated with the arms. I don’t like having figures with STG-44 rifles. I prefer the KAR98 or Gewehr’s but the frame has a limited number.

I’ll build the rest later and take some photos.
