While I am working on the T72 Dio and the apocalypse Wolf Landover, I thought I would make a start repainting these 3 fellows …
Will remove as much of the original paint as possible… then prime and paint …

And primed…
I dropped them on the way to prime them and the raised sword on the L H figure snapped ! Should be straightforward fixing it though …

Way behind on this thread but here I go:
GI Joe: 
Star Wars fan - 
. I’ve watched some of the newer ones and they are a mixed bag but have not paid to see one since Anakin got burned up and Darth Vaderitzed.
Star Wars fan - : See Star Wars.
Lord of the Rings:
ADD - probably :
Military - :
Played D&D - :
Played military board games (Squad Leader, Dauntless, Tobruk, Third Reich, Ricthofen’s War, and paramilitary, e.g., Car Wars) - :
Still have the board games and D&D Dice, Figures, Manuals, Modules, stuff, etc - :
Kid now into D&D:
Model Builder - :
Model Railroader - :
“Anti-Cool at school” (but never got a swirly or taped to anything):
Here’s a question f’ y’all. Did any of you let your obviously highly developed imagination and creativity influence modeling outside the box? What I mean is that while I build models of specific historical planes/trains/tanks/ships/figures, I freelance a lot, i.e., creating my own fictional railroad (very common in the hobby). Thus, creating fighter groups/ground force units came naturally. That was inspired by Thorpe’s books about the camouflage and markings of the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy air forces. Research resources of the day contained plenty of gaps so it was easy to appropriate a fighter or bomber unit number that was not accounted for, and the Japanese - and to a lessor extent, Luftwaffe - had plenty of independent or HQ level units to base my creativity upon. Same with playing individual-level games like Richthofen’s War, Dauntless, and Air War. Even Squad Leader with their Advanced S.L. rule about a random generation of a “Hero” created some subjects I decided to model, and like the Japanese and their oddball air units, the Wehrmacht had several examples of unique/special panzer or panzergrenadier formations, including zbV Abbreviation for “zur besonderen Verwendung” Meaning “Special Purpose” (Translated “For Special Deployment”) divisions. (My poor Pzr IIIE crew with an unbelievable 40+/- kills during the Battle of France scenarios, immobilized and destroyed by infantry in Greece - my 1/35 Pzr IIIE is painted up as their tank.)
My apologies. I stole this thread. I’ll post pix of my figures soon.

I suppose the closet I get to that is my enjoyment of doing German WW2 what ifs if the war had gone on longer and maybe the Germans became integrated into an allied force against the Russian forces … Like an E100 super heavy with 2 Sherman firefly escorts etc …

Car Wars - now THAT brings back teenage memories! That and Ace of Aces, a fantastic purely card-based dogfighting game that fit in a pocket…

I have a diorama in the planning stages of the concept. “White Weasel, Red Kobra.” A 5th ID M29C carrying mixed nationalities driving past a downed Red Air Force lend-lease P-39 with a road sign showing “Omsks 5 Km” and “Chelyabinsk 908 km”, with Russians welcoming their liberators, Russian soldiers turning in Soviet Commissars, a vandalized statue of Stalin along the road, and a PaK 40 mounted in a M3 halftrack, crewed by “Neu Freikorps”.

Only played once. Fun game but we tended to focus on Squad Leader or D&D. Or maybe because my friend was annoyed by my victorious character’s name: Paisley Milquetoast.
I had some really outrageous games that did not end like 99% of the others did, like the Third Reich game when my French took Berlin in 1943.
