Work Bench Update August 2023

 I am working on 1/72 US infantry from Italeri. I love the figures but there is a problem. They are larger than the Pegasus or Caesar figures and I can't combine them in the same unit. So I will have to use these figures specifically for the game. 


This will give me enough figures for a full platoon including a mortar, radio and MG team. Enough for a skirmish game with the tanks. These figures are painting up much better the the Pegasus and Caesar kits. I am very happy so far. I hope to get a box of  US in Winter gear from Italeri but was unable to find any available kits from my local source. I thought I could use these and can always get more later. 





The other project is the Terminator game. My son and I looked and found some very good troopers from Copplestone. These are works in progress, they paint up very quickly. We looked at pictures from the movies during the future war dream sequences. There are a lot of gray drab color schemes. These will finish quickly and the bases will have rubble and gray stones. We still need to build terrain.
