Bolt Action Diggers

Post by YellowStreak » Sun May 25, 2014 10:58 am

So I've never done a hobby log before, but as I've started my first Bolt Action Army I thought I'd break new ground with my first WWII miniatures and a Hobby Log.
As I got a good few free painting hours in yesterday, I knocked out a Damiler Armoured Car and have got a start on the first of the diggers.

Fantastic work mate.
Forget about yesterday, don't worry about tomorrow because all that matters is today.

Great to see more people painting for Bolt Action, a real variety of forces cropping up recently. Good stuff.

Thanks for the kind words guys. Got the email today that the rest of my order is on the way - more diggers, a Matilda Tank and their counter-force in the Pacific, the Imperial Japanese Army!

I know what I'm going to be painting for a while! :lol:

Got some more work done on the pacific Aussies yesterday. Decided on real jungle-ly bases, quite different from any bases I've done before.

I haven't been particularly discriminatory about which figures I painted, so I think I have too many SMGs and not enough rifles at the moment! More riflemen, an officer, some NCOs and support weapons (mortar, sniper, ATR, flamethrower) are next in the pile!
