John Prine was always a top favorite songwriter and singer. Sad to see his passing but he left us with a lot of great tunes about the joys and pains of life. Sad. Not too late for others to discover his legacy.

28mm ACW Confederates
Latest batch of 40 Sash and Saber Confederates coming off the painting table and ready for basing.
I've been looking at ACW rules to use with the new figs. Fire and Fury Regimental would work well, as would On To Richmond! OTR is slightly simpler than FnF and may resolve multi-division battles quicker. Looking forward to giving it a try with the new figs in 2020.

More Vehicles for Jim
Painting up some modern MRAP vehicles for Jim and an M5 Stuart. Supposedly these vehicles are both 25/28mm size. The MRAP trucks are huge (think tractor trailer rig) but the Stuart may be a little undersized. Dunno, need to see them side by side!
And here are some finish shots of the vehicles plus some NVA infantry. I included a 25mm Soviet mini from Eureka as a reference to size. The MRAP is a beast, no wonder it has a ladder for climbing in.

28mm ACW USVA Figs
Painted and based more 28mm ACW figs. US Volunteers this time. Figs by Sash and Saber, Flags by Flag Dude.
Organizing Collections with "Dave's Baggage Train" Trays
I purchased trays and inserts from "Dave's Baggage Train" and have been organizing collections into the trays. The 1" deep trays with 1" sorting inserts work well for Command Decision and other things based on 3/4" and 1" bases. The 2" Deep trays with 40mm inserts work well for 15mm Medieval armies that are on 40mm bases and have long spears and flags. The 3" deep trays work for 28mm figs with flags and long spears. Recommend all their products.

Finished Big Order of Minis
Scott has kept me busy since November. By my incomplete count I have assembled and painted
over two dozen German vehicles (many with two-color camo), over two dozen US vehicles, numerous US and German guns; infantry, command, machine guns, mortars, bazooka/panzerfaust for both forces. Probably should have taken pictures as I went . . .
