Fresh off the printer, a troop of Sherman IIIs for my 15mm Mediterranean Brits. Every image I found had them stowed to the gunwales, so thats the look I've aimed for. They'll be painted up in a nifty Italian campaign mud/blue black scheme for O Group and BG Torch/Italy

Work has commenced on my first big project of 2026 - 15mm British forces for Tunisia and Italy. I'll initially be doing up enough for Battlegroup, building up to a full O Group force. Pretty happy with the infantry test scheme, and with my kitbashes of the Churchill NA75s. #wargaming #spreadthelard
A brace of Aides de Camp completed for GDA2 - all the gorgeous AB 15mm sculpts. The chap in red is from Berthier's staff, quite the fancy uniform. I'll be basing these up as a batch with a few other units i've almost finished - Cuirassiers and Marie Louises. #wargaming #spreadthelard
Very nearly there with the USS Chesapeake. Only the running rigging and Ensigns to go, before sticking her on a base and calling here done. We've got our first playtest game this coming Thursday. After shes done, ill be working on thr HMS Shannon. #spreadthelard #thefullnelson #navalwargaming
The USS Chesapeake, my first 1/700 ship, is finished. She's done up as she appeared when she sailed out to meet the HMS Shannon in 1813. She now awaits a base so she can sail onto the gaming table. Glad I stuck it out with the running rigging. #spreadthelard #thefullnelson #navalwargaming.
After many a year, the old AB Napoleonic French have taken the field once more against my mate Steve's Anglo Dutch in a test game of General d'Armeé 2. Seems excellent thus far, I'm loving the focus on command and control and the ADCs, or should that be AsDC? #wargaming #spreadthelard #GDA2
What good is a bandwagon if one cannot jump upon it. USS Chesapeake nears completion, and then it will be on to her most famous opponent, the HMS Shannon. 3d Turner minis print. The question remains, do I paint up some teeny little sailors and marines. #thefullnelson #spreadthelard #navalwargaming
Expanding my forces for GDA2, two battalions - Marie Louises of the 21e Ligne and veteran troops of the 72e Ligne are getting there. A few more highlights then they can join the basing queue. Gorgeous AB 15mm sculpts. #wargaming #spreadthelard
May 1813, the heavy frigate USS Chesapeake faced the frigate HMS Active and the brig HMS Zenobia. The Yankee had been raiding in the Mona Passage when Royal Navy cruisers from Antigua caught up with her. Chesapeake got the better of it, hitting the Zenobia with a devastating bow rake. #spreadthelard
