PC games ate my painting time!

The title says it all really. Not much painting progress lately as I've reinstalled Panzer General II, one of my all time favourites, on my home computer. It's a great game that has the right level of complexity and accessability for me. I also picked up Knight of the Old Republic yesterday, so there goes my spare time...

I will try to make some progress with my DAK force soon though. At least a few coats on my PzIIIs...

Toys!!!

Having sold enough toys on the Internet (due to some unexpectedly high demand), I had enough dosh to buy my Afrika Korps boxed army. So it was quickly grabbed from the local store, taken back to work and ripped open! Having not bought a complete army in one hit before, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. However it does appeal to me in that I can look at what's in front of me and know that all I have to do is assemble and paint what I see...

Not much to show yet, although I've assembled the Panzer III platoon and the A/T Diana's, and cleaned up most of a Panzer Grenadier platoon. I'm planning to build complete units as I go, rather than production lining all transports, then all tanks, then all guns then all infantry. This is to keep me sane and also ensure that I don't put the wrong combinations of figures on bases.

More soon.
