2nd Punic War rebasing




I've had some quiet time this weekend, so I decide to try to clear a project that's been stalled for a while: rebasing my 1/72 scale HaT Romans and Carthaginians. I finished breaking them all off their original cardboard bases and attaching them to Gale Force Nine Masonite bases.

Today it's time to sand the bases:





We'll see if the grass gets done this weekend...

Meanwhile Reaper Bones II is rolling down to its conclusion today. Time to get ahead of the painting...

So, with a little effort, it looks like I have successfully loaded a summary chart of my painting completions, going back to the last quarter of 1995.  I think I started keeping this log during the previous government shutdown.  

Years are on the left; the computer helpfully (?) truncated my dates.

h=horse f=foot v=vehicle

I haven't touched a 15 in a long time.  I tried 15mm WWII for a brief period of time, so there's a vehicle column.

1997 to 2001 were good years.  They got me my Dark Ages, Darkest Africa, and much of my massed fantasy armies.  2003 was a busy year.  I finished my 2nd Punic War project, and also got 54mm medieval skirmish on the table for the first time.  By 2005, my 2nd son and I were skating, which took up a lot of time, and I'm still recovering.
