My buddy Ma’k was harassing me last night about not having posted anything to my blog in a while. \u00a0I have been crazy busy with work and trying to live up to my commitments for the Albedo Combat Patrol Kickstarter, so I have done very little hobby work for myself. \u00a0In fact, I even sent some figures off to a painter, which I rarely do, because I was worried I wouldn’t get to them in finite time.<\/p>\n

Several of us in the HAWKs have decided to make 2019 our Barbarossa theme year. \u00a0While running other games, we will also run a batch of Barbarossa games in both 28mm and 10mm. \u00a0To that end, I have been painting Russian infantry, tanks, and now vehicles. At Fall In last month, I picked up several buildings from Things from the Basement<\/a>. \u00a0Working a little bit each night, I was able to finish them up yesterday.<\/p>\n

The instructions on the Web page were for 15mm buildings, but they applied equally to the 28mm ones. \u00a0The kits went together easily. \u00a0Mine aren’t as colorful as the ones on the Things from the Basement web page, but I am reasonably happy with the results.<\/p>\n

I had some old Hovels (I think) Russian buildings I had purchased for my Battle of Peoter’s Pig skirmish game. \u00a0I was happy to see that the scales are close enough that I can put them on the table with the newer buildings.<\/p>\n

For my buildings I was looking for a weathered, rural, poor look, and I think I achieved that. \u00a0I think to have an award-winning table, I am going to have to add some color. \u00a0I am thinking bout painting the roof of the church light blue like the one on the Things from the Basement web page.<\/p>\n
