The past few weeks of posts have been mostly about gaming, but I have not neglected the painting side of the hobby. I have been adding a few more models to my Star Wars collection and also making steady progress on the Anglo-Zulu War project.
My Star Wars collection generally only grows these days when I spot something in a sale and can pick it up at a reduced price, or when there is a particular character I want to add to the collection.

| A rebel squad. |
 |
| The Mandalorian (Din Djarin), Grogu, and Boba Fett. The Grugu figure was converted so he sits in a hovering saucer, the figure just looked too small on the base without the saucer. |
 |
| A WLO-5 Speeder Tank as used by pirates. |
 |
| Cassian Andor, Jyn Erso, and their friendly K-250 robot. |
 |
| Moff Gideon. A useful villain figure. |
The Anglo-Zulu War project began at the end of March this year and is now into its seventh month. There are still a few more British units, wagons and pieces of terrain to complete. I reckon I am now about 75 percent of the way through the project and hopefully in the next two to three months will get the figures onto the tabletop for a game.

| 2 British infantry units added, along with a mounted rifle unit and some lancers. |

| I had great fun with the lancer unit, which were converted from some spare mounted infantry. |
The Zulu War collection is coming on nicely, can't wait to see how you structure your games and rules.
ReplyDeleteI am probably going to use Blackpowder rules as I have their very useful Zulu supplement.
DeleteSome great figures. Love the Mandalorian and gang.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I really enjoyed painting those figures.
DeleteGreat paint jobs an all of them, but I'm particularly fan of the Mandalorian 'spinn off'. Great movie too.
ReplyDeleteThe Mandalorian was a figure I decided to buy at full price while available.
DeleteBrilliant painting.
ReplyDeleteThank you. It was a nice contrast painting the larger units of 20mm and the more individualistic Star Wars figures.
DeleteYou are keeping your paint brushes busy! All are terrific additions to your collections. I would like to push a few Star Wars figures into my painting queue.
ReplyDeleteIt has been good to get some figures off the painting table. Do you have many Star Wars figures to paint?
