Jeremey is a bit under the weather this week, so WIP round up duties fall to me.
It’s been a fairly active week for Society members.
First up we have club chairman Mark’s continuing work on his 28mm Vietnam project. Above we have a Riverine Patrol Boat, still WIP, and below a finished ACAV and SEAL boat.
28mm Vietnam
For the opposition, Mark’s son has painted up some “Charlie”.

Staying in Vietnam, but going down to 15mm, we have some of Stephen’s work.
15mm ACAVs and M114
For a bit of relaxation after the rigours of salute, Tony took a stone elemental that Jeremey sculpted, he did a simple basecoat-wash-drybrush-drybrush again job on it then filled in the etched runes.

Charlotte has been working on some terrain bits (and models) for Project Z and other games. A couple of billboards

And some modular road sections (complete with dodgy council line painting and potholes).

Peter has been kit-bashing some more Victorian Sci Fi Martian Cloudships, first up the Long Range Assault Carrier, H.M.S. Whirlwind, intended to deploy Royal Marine and Redcoat landing parties.

Also recently launched from the Martian shipyards are the smaller ‘V’ Class of Cloudship, the Martian Torpedo Boat (or MTB):

Andy has finally got some painting mojo back, and has been working on a Salute purchase, some more figures for his Mexican Adventure forces.
Additions to Andy’s Mexican forces. Purchased and painted in less than 2 weeks!
Finally Marcus has been working on some air support for his Mant (ant-man) Army for Xenos Rampant (or other Sci Fi games)
Marcus’ VTOL
That’s all for this week, hopefully Jeremey will be back in charge next week.
Just a few offerings this week, but we start with Mark J and progress on his Vietnam game which is due at the club in a few meetings time.
Above we have a small building ready for painting, a Loach helicopter and a Seal Team boat. While below Mark has made some elephant grass from artificial grass cuttings.
Stephen is up next with a glimpse of the Castle he is building for one of our open day games this year (more on that soon).
And finally for this week Eric has made more progress on his 15mm forces for a game of Xenos Rampant at the next meeting.
How is it already April? Although the weather doesn’t feel like spring the members have been busy again.
We start with Peter M and soaring above us is another Space: 1889 cloudship, this one is the Imperial German LuftSchiffe the ‘Valkyrie’, recently seen at the Salute 51 wargames show.
Speaking of shows Phil had a very small addition to the society show game Summer of 77, in the form of a freshly printer bridge for the railway station. We’ll have to see if someone got a picture of the finished one on the game.
Next up and I’ve been doing some work on my Wars of the Roses army. I realised my spearmen units were more often fielded as the heavy infantry version so I rebased them to fit with my other heavy infantry units.
And I’ve started on a command base to represent Richard III as our campaign is just one more battle away from Bosworth. The king and retinue are from Peter Pig.
Returning to Vietnam and Stephen has painted up a US Marine company before moving on to the Viet Cong troops.
And last but not least for this week Marcus has made some more progress on his sci-fi terrain pieces.
That’s it for this week, we’ll see you next Wednesday.
Jeremey is otherwise engaged this week, so compiling the WIP Wednesday round up falls to Andy.
Mark J has finished another section of WW2 British Infantry (picture above) and is working on a couple of support units and an M10 Tank Destroyer.

And Felix has built a Sherman ‘Easy 8’ he purchased from Cavalier and started work on some civilians and a TV/Film crew for Vietnam games.

Stephen splashed out on some medieval models at Cavalier and has made a start on them.

Eric has been working on some scenery from Battle Of Osgiliarth, and is summoning up the courage/fortitude to attempt the actual figures themselves

Tony F has got back to his 20mm derelict farmyard after a bit of a hiatus. The corner behind the right hand shed will become a small garden with flowers and an apple tree once the glue under the lawn is dry. It needs some sacks and barrels to add a bit of clutter, then he thinks it’ll be there.

David has started work on some Caissons for his Napoleonic collection.

Finally, Marcus continues with his Stargrave and Pulp Alley figures. The larger sandy coloured figure will be a power armoured robot.
