Work bench Update, my last days of summer 30/8-6/9 Whats on the workbench? Trying to manage my projects

So, Where to start...I thought let's do a post a bit differently. I just had my first week back at school, Monday 2nd of Septembre was my first day back to Uni. This year I will finish my bachelor in photography, and after nine years of studying after high school, I am happy when it all will be done! Throughout the last years, I have always been looking for ways to combine my busy school life, relationship and the love for my toy soldiers. Often in the heat of the photography projects, I am okay with shifting the hobby more to the background but after summer and before the summer break I always find it more difficult to shift the hobby to the back. So the past week, the last days of August I started to become a bit nervous for the upcoming year to come, but also I felt like speeding up my paint projects. I have many ''projects'' on the shelve or in boxes that I need to catch up on. Earlier this year I decided that I would not start painting new figures or m...

My old summer love back on the workbench!

Last summer (2018) by the end of August I started these figures! Now I can finally pick up the work to continue and finish these beautiful and fun sculpted HaT figures :-) there are some more firing and loading poses to follow..After that I wan't to start working on my Italeri French and Austrian 1/32 figures! :-) Enjoy!   These pride Chasseurs are ready to be based!  Vive l'Empereur!  Meet Francois du Pierre, the fierce and young sergeant of the pelaton! ;-)) Erwin und Friedrich quietly sneak away in the back, realising they don't stand a chance against this battle-hardened Frenchmen ;-) To be continued! 

Catch of the day!

Somehow I never share purchases..Whether online or offline, whether new or second hand...Well today was a good day! After an appointment/meeting, I went for the first time to a local toy/hobby (quite messy and dusty..This is where you find the treasures!) store from which I knew they have 1/32 figures from HaT and most likely other manufacturers. When I got in and saw the shelves my hearth started going faster! Yes! One of my best wishes was there! The Italeri 1/32 French Infantry set! It was my wildest hope before I entered but very unlikely to find this set produced in 2008 that has been deadstock for many years! I sadly only started buying them after they went deadstock. And here it was on the shelve waiting..! Sadly it was the only one left but still thought such a small chance! However, whenever I can and see them I buy these set...No excuses! 18,99 euro's was a very fair price! :D This made my day! This box made my hearth flip over..Therefor it was not ha...
