New Wall in Game Room

My rather larger game room for epic sized games is in the garage. After 20 plus years I decided to add AC to the garage and I had to  put a wall up in front of the garage door to keep the hot and cold air out or depending on the weather. Even had insulation sprayed in above the garage as well as the entire attic. I also had to replace mr entire VAC and I mean replace everything, $17000 replace thing. So this lead to the upgrade in my game room. Now it’s just a room in my house. Pretty cool. A lot of work though and not cheap. I kept the walls white. Makes it a brighter room. 

Before pics. Brick wall hangings covering the garage door. 






And the work start to finish.

Paint Bench: Crocodile Games Trojans Completed


Finally Completed and put the shields on the Trojans.

8th Update - Completion














Finally got some long awaited 28mm Trojans from Crocodile Games. I got about 125 spear and 12 archers. I am going to convert 6 of the archers into charioteers and change out some of my Mycenaean charioteer for them. This is the first wave of many. Plan on doing 2 or 3 waves. Along with a large batch of Pyrrhic Phalanx as well.

7th Update

I have actually finished painting the Trojan spear and the few archers I have. I am currently painting the shields. The figures are all ready minus the shields. The shields will take me awhile to paint. I have not been on my blog in awhile, I have a new hobby plus I am Mr. Mom half the time. I plan on getting 48 more Trojan archers to defend the City of Troy I have in 28 mm.
Thanks for looking.







I re-touched up and painted some of the Trojan chariots.







6th Update

Over 50% mark near completion. Still have a ways to go. These Crocodile Games Trojans are very detailed and have to be well planned out to paint nicely. I am no expert, but I try my best.
