Project listing and a blog design note

First, the projects I am currently working on and notes on their status:
15mm:
  1. USCMC (Aliens universe) [Stargrunt II, Ambush Alley Games products]- First squad assembeled 50% painted, APCs largely converted 1 basecoated; awaiting two furthur QRF orders for remainder of platoon and armor. [ Three more packs of Marines, the Merkava (soon to be M22A3 Jackson)and Colonists arrived]
  2. USAR (modern) (Ambush Alley, Ambush Z, Force On Force)- One squad assembled and painted suitable for c.1998-2006, may strip and repaint for European theater; Rebel Minis Force On Force pack on order to act as primary USAR force to be organized as a Stryker Rifle Platoon
  3. Zombies (20c+) (Ambush Z)- ~28 assembled awaiting final cleaning and priming, may supplement in future with Rebel Minis modern Zombie packs.
  4. Xenos: Aliens and Predators (Aliens universe) [Stargrunt II, Ambush Alley Games?)- Awaiting arrival of QRF orders containging first packs, will likely supplement with Khurasan 'Space Demons' for smaller aliens. [two packs of Large Aliens and the "Big Mother" arrived along with Head hunters and some tasty Colonists and Marines to be their prey]
UPDATE: The first package of Xenos, Marines and Colonists arrived today, look for some photos and reviews in the next week or two.

Unknown/Multiple scales
  1. Colony world board (Aliens universe/general sci-fi) [multiple games, primarilly SG II, Ambush Alley Games]- planning stages, have collected basic materials (hardboard, foam sheets, piping) trying to decide between LV-426 style un-terraformed tundra or jungle (more like the recent AvP game), will likely come down to budget concerns over cost of buildings versus cost of trees
  2. Xeno hive/colony mine board (Aliens universe) [multiple games, primarilly SG II, Ambush Alley Games]- planning and preparation stage (need to get a foam cutter), have the foam, hardboard and Sci-Fi Supply "Wild Walls" 'Giger-esq' set. Need to get tools and get to work so my Colonial Marines will have somewhere to go on a bug hunt (until the queen shows up and eats them, anyway)
  3. Bundeswehr Heer-West German Army (late 20c/Cold War) [Force On Force, Twilight 2000?]- Still in conceptual/planning stages, researching unit structure etc.; will likely wait until I actually pick up Force On Force and/or find someone interested in Twilight 2000
  4. Other boards/terrain sets (modern, probably) [Ambush Alley Games, Twilight 2000, etc]- Need an actual terrain budget or prepare myself for alot of radboard and foam-core cutting and gluing (also likely since no one seems to make decent modern American-style urban terrain), likely looking at two or three sets, one modern USA urban/sububan set, one modern mid-east/centeral Asia and one centeral Europe. In the mean time my troops may have to settle for clearing piles of old packaging of the Alien/Zombie/Insurgent infestation.
