Forza Italia and projects


Another project that is about to be completed. WWII Italians for Bolt Actions.

I will post pictures when I finish to put the grass on the bases.

Meanwhile, time for reflexion... and wondering what will be my next project.

I have:

  • Afrika Korps army being shipped 
  • Hungarian army (received)
  • German Berlin Force (received)
  • US Marines (parts being shipped, received or to be purchased)
  • Volkgrenadiers
  • Normandy force (bits here and there)
  • Wishes: French Early war army
  • German Stalingrad (possible)
  • Ebay stuff

So what is the game plan?


Afrika Korps:
Very interested in this army and the mix of uniforms in different colors

Hungarian army:
Not sure why I have ordered this army, but it feels like a change from the usual suspects. 

Berlin Force:
This army will require focus, because it will includes Volksturm and many different colors. I need to hold it into a cohesive lot while it has to be disparate as well, with lots of customisation, each unit telling a story. So not exactly a casual project but one that will require peace of mind and stamina.

US Marines:
Looks like a fun project, not particularly difficult. I already like it but will reserve it as a kind of candy treat to relax from more complicated armies

Volkgrenadiers:
Here I have a end of war army look in mind, like the 3 last months in East Prussia. This project requires depth and introspection to really bring out the dusk of the Wehrmacht as a fighting force that I am aiming for.

Normandy Force:
Straightforward project, using lots of spares that I have, with various cohesive units put together: Luftwaffe Field Division, Shirkers, SS squad. It looks fun and summery. The great bit being variety while squads all for their own group of similar painting.

French Early war:
I really want to do this project and plans to do a lot of infantry. But I will not start it unless Plastic French are released. For some reason, I prefer to make my own figures and poses for this project.

German Stalingrad:
I have 18 figures left of germans in great coats. They'd really be great for a Stalingrad project. I'd need a bit more additional troops though, support weapons and vehicules so it will be on hold

Ebay:
A number of very nice figures that I am interested to paint but not necessarily to collect for an army. I really think that I can obtain very nice results out these but in the end, they will have to find a good home so someone can enjoy them better.

So at the moment, the choices are numerous but I think I am more inclined to do Ebay stuff and the Normandy force.

Let's start doing this!
