Huzzah my Fellow Gamers!
The gaming table is about 80% right now and good enough to actually game on in my humble opinion. I ran out of green flock so more is on order and on the way. My wife says she prefers the look of all of the various colors as opposed to solid green anyway.

| I think the additional green flock will do nicely. That said, the 3 layers of glue I put on yesterday are pretty much dry and that flock pictured here isn't going anywhere! |
What's cool about the table is its size. For a guy confined to apartment gaming the last 2 years and only being able to game on a small sized table, this is really a step up! Considering where I used to live prior to moving to the Philadelphia area and my 8' by 4' gaming table, I was really slumming... I included a shot of my newly based ACW Regiments/Battalions (for Black Powder, Volley & Bayonet, etc) for scale. Those guys are 3" by 1.5" so you get an idea of the size!

The table is 6 feet by 4 feet and MUCH better than the dining room table. (ahem...John - no more chairs in the pictures). I forgot all of the "lessons learned" and those were re-learned the hard way yesterday. Also the plywood is heavy so I need to bring in my other card-table (previously used for holding up the other 4' by 4' sheet for the last gaming table) which is at my Mom's house to keep the sides from sagging too much.
Okay enough about the table - everyone's waiting for the T-72 pics huh???
 |
| Not bad. I'm not happy with the paint job overall but I have a TON more to get the technique down... |
 |
| The tank came with decals but I felt like painting these on. |
 |
| The side skirts should really be glued down as they keep breaking off... |
 |
| A light tan drybrush did wonders too and you can see the remarkable detail on the kit. |
 |
| Dare I say, with the ERA blocks on the front you could technically use this as a T-90... |
 |
| Nice terrain board! will look even better with trees, roads, and houses atop during a game. |
Lots of hobby work being done, folks. More ACW Regiments/Battalions being pumped out and I have been busy busy busy re-basing my Warmaster Fantasy 20mm troopers for my annual Halloween game. THis year I have some awesome new additions to the force - The "Dark Alliance" Orc Heavy and Light Cavalry, as well as their armored Orc Infantry! Compared to the Caesar guys, these Orcs look civilized. So maybe this year, the practically naked greenskins will be "feral" orcs lol.
On the moderns front I have 3 T-80s painted and ready for action as well as a BMP-2 and BRDM-2 for my Soviet Tank Battalion.
