Steel Penguins braying

welp up thread ( dec 24) i said that i was going to have a re-Jenga / Tetris  at the loft, part one was this morning, i have managed to get stuff better packed 
in doing so i have had a quick reminder of some things.
1:35 bailey bridge  for the operation Carousel, break out of west Berlin / cold war diorama  check 
2 48th scale Chinooks  check     
the 4 Tamiya ships  check
all the stuff for the 1:24 scale Grav Cars  yup 
the TSR2s in both scales.... then i get to the Pile of 48th Warriors   i know i got 10 when they 1st came out for wargames reasons, and have picked up one or 2 since,  so  i seem to have 16       i know one is for converting to the Rapier version but the others ?   im certain ill find a use for them though.
still i can see more and have better access to them as well so its all win as far as i recon.

It's nice to remind yourself what you have, and to get re-enthused about older projects. 

Sometimes the newer stuff overshadows the older and you forget.

i will start with a retraction / correction,   it appears that i have 14 Warriors,        having done a bit more moving / sorting / boxing in the loft,

I have finished the hanger building so its now ( im counting it as a model as its approx a foot square, rather bigger that just a small bit of scenery)
4 figures 4 pieces of scenery and 3 models

in doing so the left over MDF has given some nice linear bits that i can make 11" of wall and  two 3" wall sections that will be suitably gate like,  and there are some bits that will make some nice bases and things as well, so have gone in the bits MDF bag.
track work continues on the Chally, slow and steady and not un-enjoyable.      ive also brought done some resin tanks and industrial bits, for the nex builds / paints jobs.

been able to get some paint on the chally,  its that much smaller than 1:35  some parts are paint as sub assembly's, and i know the rear of a chally once you get the extra range fuel drums on it is nigh on impossible to get a brush into at the larger scale, so im not risking this one.

Ive put in an order with King kit, mainly JSDF:L stuff, tanks and an infantry pack, plus a Marder MICV to replace the one that got changed to the franken TAM  where possible not first owner stuff as well so its cheaper ( yay) giving more kit for my budget.  that will probably post monday so hopefully will arrive end of the week.

with the Aldersly wargames / model show this weekend, i am considering what to take...
I will probably be taking my normal confuse the unimaginative set,  the franken TAM, and the 2 re engined business jet, the a10- engined Lear and the 4 engine Falcon,   and the rest may well be wargames stuff,  with the Empress miniatures Chieftains, FV432 and landy / wombat combo  along with some infantry,  plus possibly some other resin wargames vehicles and possibly some of the slum scum to go with them.
enough to be a ble to through a few people for a bit, and to try to draw others away from the established  Games Workshop lines

You'll be finding yourself tied to a stake wiith someone asking "anyone got a match ?"

ive a few distractions i can throw out to distract them, not quite as good as using a starfix spitfire to throw off a JMN     but enough,  the odd question regarding scale creep,or of using old names for paints is usually enough
