Some civilian ladies. I can't remember if their head cover was always black or it was some other shade.
Some H.V.A.s and an Elhiem LMG skinny

Holiday Jam up Ends part I
With the house now empty and my loving wife's understanding, I have had time to hide in my cave. With the time at work and yesterday I completed 20mm 42 dudes. Painted, based, flocked, and sealed. That rocks!
All these are Stan Johansen's Jihads. I was a bit put off. As his examples on the web are painted up like ninjas. Bad pictures, bad examples, as they kick ass. A joy to paint. They have enough detail to keep you going.
Keeping with the theme; "Their heads are covered in towels, like those mugs in the CNN pictures from Syria. I am trying to stick to all earthy business casual civilian clothing type colors. Hoping to get that look of a mug so pissed, with no military training picking up a weapon and messing with his government or occupying force."
Some more mugs
A dickers with the daily paper.
Not so bad for a dip job!
With the exception of 2 Caesar's 20mm moderns.
I also finished up my downed chopper. One old GW crater and a 1/72 kit. The kit I put together rough and fast. Next I dropped in a bag, and dropped a brick on the bag. The big bits I picked out and laid about. Then sprayed railroad glue and dumped the small bits and flock.

British small wars 20mm
A long term project. I brought a ton of Hat dudes to kit out some Black Powder games. I based up a bunch of Dervishes. Just today I got around to painting them up. The Force on Force 20mm painting got my kick started. Clearing off my painting table. While I wait for things to dry. 47 more done!
I know the dervishes had squares of blue and red on their man dresses. But paint all those squares would kill the project. I went for solid dyed man dresses. They will give the units separation and I can get away with using them in the Afghanistan dust ups.

New romans
Warlord, you bastards!
Well we all know where a giant pile of money will be going this new year. And it is about time someone made Caesarian plastic. I am hoping for the same quality that the greek plastic have. No more of the straight up crap that Wargames Factory makes.
As far as metals, foundry's expensive and not that great. BTD's are pretty sweet and go on 35A% off sales twice a year.
