I got the Bolt Action starter set, Band of Brothers. Its pretty cool. I decided to build a German force and then maybe a Japanese force. I'll not bother with an unboxing of the starter set as many exist already. I just ordered a bunch of German units and maybe I'll unbox those when they arrive. I did just get some new stuff through and I'll slap some pictures of those up now. Then tomorrow I'll post the unboxing of the Japanese infantry box.

 First up is the err.. Fighting First Paint set. This had some colors in it I was after. I also got the Patton's Fighting First FOW set not long ago.

Just some general hobby things.

 Motor platoon to help fill out the various FOW desert war boxes.

 This is from a new pirate miniatures game called Blood and Plunder. Pirates! I love pirates and wanted to see what the minis where like before I bought a big set of them. I think its 28mm or maybe 30. Great detail for a metal mini and only cost about 3 bucks. I might start painting him right away. He's also based on a cool wood plank deck.

Finished my Victory at Sea ships!

I gave them a simple paint job, they didn't have a ton of detail. Base coated them, then applied a black wash for the grey surfaces and the decks where washed with either flesh or sepia. Finally, I gave them highlights in light grey or a diluted white. I would definitely like to add to these fleets with battleships and carriers later on but, I have enough projects going on right now.

German Heavy Cruiser Scharnhorst.

 While researching these I learned a few things about German destroyers. They didn't have names and instead had numbers. These are actually B-97 class destroyers. The subsequent ships of the same class are given the name B-98, B-99 and so on, So indeed one of these ships is the B-110, but the others are not.

My German Fleet.

 British Cruiser Glasgow.

British Destroyers.

 My British Fleet.

Some packages arrived today!

I received my Reaper Paint set, and my World War 1 ships from C in C. 

Paints! Exciting! I plan on using these to paint my Firestorm Armada fleet. Its kinda hard to see as the sun was behind them in the photo, its 3 shades of green from Reaper Miniatures. They are really good paints. I bought these from Miniature Giant. 

 They came in these little boxes undamaged, and had only a little flashing to clean. 

Above is the Scharnhorst and the Glasgow.

 British and German destroyers.

They also sold WW1 planes so I picked up an Albatross just for fun.

I put the box cards in each picture so it would be easier to identify them. They are all World War 1 ships. B-110s are German destroyers and the M Class destroyers are British. As I stated above these are from C in C and are 1/2400 scale, I plan to use them for Victory at Sea. I'll post more pictures of the Albatross once its built. Hope to get these painted up really soon!
