My first Finish it February project is done. These are some 3D printed M47 Patton tanks for my FoaN Jordanian army. My friend, Tom, printed these for me last summer and it is nice to have these done. These are really nice little models and you can't beat the price. The roof MGs are a bit chunking, and I was thinking about replacing them, but that is a lot of effort for an army that sees the table once a year.
After a couple of years off I am returning to Finish it February. I started this idea in 2019 and managed 2 years but the last couple of been a bust for reason already explained. Part of getting my gaming hobby back on track is to revitalize this tradition. In the past I had lots of unfinished projects to choose from but this year I am keeping things modest. Below are three projects I would like to complete this month and, frankly, finishing just one would be a win.
 |
| This first one is kind of cheating. Finish it February is about finishing long neglected project but this is a project I started last month, so, technically its just a WIP. This is my Army of the Dead for LOTR and I painting these as part of the slow grow league. This will not be my first priority this month. |
 |
| This next project is much more in the spirit of Finish it February. These additions to my Flames of War DAK army have been in a box for a few years. Now's the time to get them finished. |
 |
| The final project on the list is not too old but has been sitting on my workbench for a few months. These are my Jordanian M47 model my friend Tom printed for me last year. These will be M48 proxies for my Fate of a Nation Jordanians. These are pretty close to being done. |
We'll see how I do this year. It would be pretty sweet to get these all done.
January was a good month for my revitalized gaming hobby. I finished another long dreamed of project for LOTR (MESBG), my Grey Company. I have had most of this stuff in the box of shame for years. This is the project that I selected for our slow grow league but I managed to just paint it all in one go. I was supposed to do 200 points to start and then 100 points a month until we got 600 points done. Turns out this collection is more like 800+ points and it's only half of the planned army. The other half is the Army of the Dead and that is just getting started.

| The entire Grey Company collection. I can't use all this as the same time but I have all the options. |
 |
| Arathorn, father of Aragorn. You can't take them both but Arathorn is way cheaper option. |
 |
| Halbarad. One with the Banner of Arwen Evenstar. |
 |
| Twelve of the original metal Ranger of the North. There are two of each pose. |
 |
| Five of the six original metal Dunedain figures. I would love to find that last figure to complete the set. |
 |
| Five plastic rangers used as Dunedain. I have my eye out for the metal Grey Company figures from the War of the Ring release. I have never actually seen them. |
