I have already decided upon my main New Year's resolution - to paint and make all my remaining figures, models, scenery, etc. in the garage storeroom before buying anything new - so I have started that with a vengeance! Here are some pictures:

Large supply trucks for my Avrupan future wars/sci-fi campaign. These are Old Crow models I bought just before he stopped trading, so they have been on the shelf a long time.

An armoured recovery vehicle. This is a 1/72nd scale model by AtoZ Build and Play of a modern German type that I found at my local garden centre (which is really a QD store in disguise, if you are wondering why it has toys! For non-UK readers, QD is a discount store.) It is small compared to Old Crow models, but is actually more in scale to my 20mm figures. I have added some extra skirts and bits for my Avrupan campaign.

Another AtoZ model. This was a modern German IFV to which I have added skirts and bits and altered its armament to make it into a SP AA model.

Digging around in the odds and ends box, I found these three Perry 28mm hard plastic figures, which I painted up for my Petaudia campaign for general use by any country.

Some more from the odds and ends box, these being for my Kedarian Horse Tribes in the Petaudia campaign. I think these were originally Fireforge Steppe Warriors/Gripping Beast Arabs.

A new cavalry regiment for my Fescennia campaign - No. 4 (Ciruelo) Dragoon Regiment of the Erymanthian army. I have been rebasing my cavalry to larger bases and also replacing the old flags and standards with smaller versions. Much as I liked the old sizes of flags, I decided they were just that bit too big! The figures here are Warlord Household Cavalry figures in a whole new guise. I went for Oxford Blue facings as they stand out more against the Flat Blue uniform.

Finally, a lot of Perry ACW figures. Here some skirmisher bases. My rules allow units to send out skirmishers, so I have them made ready, but I find that in the heat of battle players tend not to bother with them or forget about them!

A Confederate 12pdr Napoleon smoothbore. Although there are six crew figures in the Perry set per gun, I am going over to five in the gun detachments as it looks less crowded on the base provided.

A Confederate unit. I mostly do the figures with 'right shoulder shift' as it is a lot less fiddly to stick them together, but every so often I take the plunge and do some with levelled muskets at the charge.

The Union 146th New York Zouaves. I could not resist trying the light blue uniforms. However, I think the tassels should be red not yellow!

A Union Western state regiment with hats not kepis. I did the coat in Dark Prussian Blue for this and the following units, as well as darker trousers, just for a change.

Another Union regiment.

And another Union regiment! Here some have their pale blue greatcoat rolled up around their torsos, again something I have not tried before.

And to finish, the brigade advancing.

Apologies for the quiet blog, but we have had builders in for two weeks and then decorating, which meant the dining room was a storage area for furniture, etc, and then there was Xmas preparations, and now my poor wife has Covid, so I am looking after her and trying not to catch it as well! Anyway, here are some pictures from my Thirty Years War campaign in 15mm, the last two engagements, which I played before the builders arrived. They are a mixture of the two battles, a variety of figure manufacturers, some date back forty years, and the rules are mine, a variation on Shako (1st edition) designed for the 17th Century, which play quite fast. The campaign is progressing slowly though, I am only up to 1622, as it keeps getting put on the backburner for other projects!

The die indicates hits on a unit; the counters indicate disordered (green or red, according to side) and retreating (white - one means one turn, two means two turns).
