Re: What are you doing during lockdown ?
Full-time student whose classes are online. Lots of time at home, got into Charlie Don¡¯t Surf and ordered a ton of 15mm US, NVA and local forces along with some Huey slicks and armored fighting vehicles. Been using foam to make all kinds of rice paddies and hills, also ordered a village from flashpoint. Unfortunately battlefront is locked down so might be awhile before the bulk of the figures get here. Still having fun though!?

Well, I¡¯ve been stripping varnish off, not figures, but a Victorian staircase. It¡¯s a swine of a job. Dusty, labour-intensive, and there¡¯s a whole range of bad ways to do it. Along with that; today, I¡¯ve cleaned out both ovens, made a cheesecake, taken the dogs for their stroll, a range of tidying and other household chores. At some stage I am hoping to do some painting ?
I do have the figures and space to play some solo games, but it just seems a bit sad anorak. So I¡¯m reading blogs, watching video, and trying to keep my wargaming mojo going.
Over the weekend, I did some markers for wounded leaders that will be usable for Sharp Practice and Chain of Command, I based up some sections of railway I cut from OO track, and added ballast. And I have all the sections cut to do a level crossing, some culverts, and I have a cobble roller, air-dry clay and some MDF cut t to create cobbled road sections. Some of those I will cut tram tracks¡¯ into the clay as well, so I can use my Tram model.
So essentially, a lot of hobby stuff, apart from actually painting figures or playing games.

Re: What are you doing during lockdown ?
Do miss my weekly club gatherings, the gym, and my friends.
Thankfully I just got Ginny and Amina in before all this broke
loose. Alas, the terrace fences aren't ready yet so they can't go
out.
Painting, My right hand has developed a permanent brush -hold
stance. How lucky those ambidextrous people are.
Priming,? My Lead Mountain is now partially a light grey
mountain. All stashed away in RUB boxes with magnetic foil. My
neighbors are sure I have a chemical plant at my place.
Cleaning figures. I've gone through about 100 #11, #10a, #15 and
#15c blades so far. My Dremel is hiding in a corner whimpering.
Ordering new figures. Less said about that the better. Feind h?rt
mit! Mind you,? some manufacturers and distributors already have
gaps! Hurry if you still want your fix.
Washing my hands so often I no longer need sandpaper to polish
the figures. I just rub them against what is left of my skin.
Dreaming of new armies. Medication against that affliction is no
longer available. Richard isn't helping very much with his Infamy,
Infamy videos.
Stay safe!

Hi All,

20mm's, sold in full squad by nationality packs and with
proper mix of weapons. Great job! If I decide to do some
Sicily - Italy games later will add fallschirmjager.
Setting up a scenario for Sam Mustafa's "Rommel" to play
with a friend later this week. We have a safe way to do it
without going electronic.
Other than that I just check to see if I'm still alive from
time to time.
Stay cheerful and entertained.
On
a personal level, I've been painting a lot of things from my
lead/resin/[plastic mountain and prepping up things so I can
paint whatever takes my fancy. A few of us from my club are
playing an email-based strategic game based on a fantasy
continent, and some more of us are also playing a Call of
Cthulhu game via Google hangouts, although we are going to
switch to Zoom for the next round. I have also roped my
non-gaming partner into a couple of games, one of WaT and
another of CoC.

Re: What are you doing during lockdown ?
Walking the dog. Such a taskmaster. Assembling a HO German steam locomotive kit, cleaning my gaming table off and fixing damaged models, mostly TAU. Putting away a finished 15mm German Para 10cm mortar battery, Maus, Soviet Lee, British Para 4.2" mortar battery. Inventorying 28mm Napoleonic French and British. Finishing Kroot, Para 75mm Mountain battery, Soviet and German Paratroops.
Then my painting backlog....

Re: What are you doing during lockdown ?
Work has been really full on for a while now and the club meets plus one evening a week was pretty much all my face to face social time. Definitely missing it!
We've been doing a Wednesday hobby night on Discord to keep in touch which has been good fun.
Hobby-wise I'd just been seduced into starting a new army for 40k which I happened to get a few bits for before everything went totally insane so I've been doing that.
I've finished my first section of 1917-18 British for TTM&B so I should look into ordering the next batch of those really, they're just sat on a shelf looking at me. There's also my British Hussars and rifles to finish off.
Unfortunately for me none of my collections stretch to both sides of a single game yet, so I can't really play much in the way of solo games, as much as I'd love to!

Re: What are you doing during lockdown ?
Not much different for me, if anything even busier. Trying to work as normal and help my wife care for and school 4 kids, though only the older two are old enough for actual work, the middle is only doing basic sounds, counting etc. Really busy.
Hobby wise I've gotten off to a good start to my second force for Seven Spears (Japanese Dux). A friend was working on a force but that fell by the wayside for him so I decided to do a second for some solo games. We've both started little Warhammer Fantasy warbands for some small skirmish, probably using Pulp Alley. He is very excited for Infamy, Infamy and will probably end up doing at least 2 sides for that.
I treated myself to the Lord of the Rings lcg starter box for a bit of quick solo gaming, though I've spent a few days trying to understand the rules decently as its a pretty hefty game. I've been considering doing something in 15mm, maybe for Sharp Practice 2 but my main goal is to get my a Japanese done.
Hope everyone stays safe and well.?

Re: What are you doing during lockdown ?
Since our local clubs meetings have been suspended, been keeping in touch via email, facebook and twitter. Just before Xmasduring a minor sort out of the garage I found my old 6mm Napoleonics from 25 years ago, and discovered I still had a division of Spanish, and almost the same of French and Portuguese left to paint, so have been working on them the last few weeks. Just about finished now, and rebased some of them so they're suitable?for Dave Browns General d'armee rules. Planning on nicking the dining room table next week and heaving?a trial Solo game. Egg

Re: What are you doing during lockdown ?
I, too relied on my club's monthly game nights, plus a SAGA campaign one of the guys was running. Too, another club member was just about to start an ancients campaign using
Hannibal at the Gates, a set of rules written by one of the members. All that is on hold now, but about eight of us (out of 30) have been meeting every Sunday via Zoom to catch up on what we've been working on and do show-and-tell.
I'm retired, so what has really changed is the extended time indoors and the drop off of lunches and meetings related to my civic engagement. I've been using the inside time to push forward painting for my 20mm Spanish Civil War project, using the
Espana! variant of CoC. Just finished a miliciana sniper team and am closing in on completing a platoon of Nationalist infantry. A platoon of Nationalist Requetes is completed as well as most of a platoon of Republican Ejercito de la Republica infantry. Also have been taking advantage of sales by some of the vendors who now are not going to be able to sell their wares at spring conventions. I discovered Diabolical Terrain, which has a nice line of 3D printed buildings for a variety of periods, scalable from 15mm to 28mm. I ordered a bridge, windmill, church and small house from them for the SCW project. Speedy delivery.

Re: What are you doing during lockdown ?
I did run a remote IABSM with 6 friends chiming in and deciding where units would be emplaced and enter and where they would hopefully move towards.? IABSM has a lot of friction anyways, so they knew that my interpretation of their intentions would be problematic.? It took 2 days to run and a couple of days to get everyone on the same page, but it was a nice diversion.? Planning on running another smaller game with less cat herding.
Also painting up more figures for 2nd Seminole War SP and more terrain in 6mm.

Prepping figures to spray, in between rebuilding my workspace after it was gutted to have new windows put in. And prepping master casts for my new ranges of figures!

My 4h commute goes to longer working hours and a lie-in in the morning (half past 7 rather than half past 5!!!). But I do stay up later and have been painting stuff - have completed 8 units for Star Wars legion in the last month, as well as loads of scenery, and some of the figures for Mice and Mystics. Obviously no more nights out or gaming nights :-(? But as Thomas said, we do chat a lot, and are planning some online gaming. Apart from that I've reorganised my gaming stuff in my room, it's much more efficient now (and I have found loads of stuff that I couldn't remember I had :D ) If Infamy Infamy gets out, I'll buy some (more) Romans and Celts and will paint those. ? I chat daily via Google Hangouts with the guys in my gaming group and
we will be doing online game sessions. I am making progress on the
Adeptus Titanicus box set I bought when it came out, built and then
promptly stopped painting.
And I got back into LEGO. Been wanting to for years as a mate is a
hardcore collector and the new kits are brilliant. Now I had the
chance to support my FLLS (Friendly Local Lego Store) and kill
quarantine time so took the plunge with the Roadmaster bus kit. Great
fun and now eyeing the Lad Rover kit.

Currently finishing my AWI American forces (2 Brigades) and then sorting out what I will need if anything for the British. Will then finish my pirates as it appears Blood and Plunder will be popular with some of my club after the enforced break. Will also be looking for Infamy, Infamy to be published so that I can sort out my Romans, Gauls and Greeks. Oh, and working on my conversions of OO gauge railway rolling stock so that they will be narrow gauge 28mm items and multiperiod. At least that's the intention, so far have completed two battalions of infantry and looking working on the cavalry for both sides on the AWI. These were already 1/2 done a few years ago.

In these times it's important to keep those contacts and the club going so I decided to run a game of sharp practice for the club over Facebook using a table in my garage? and video recording things like the drawer of the chits dice rolls and of course placement of figures at the moment we're on turn one and it's a French Indian war game the British are attacking a French settlement .
