Welcome to another work in progress post. This week we start with Eric and his new lance for Battletech. The lance includes this Crusader lifting off for some death from above.

Next up and Mak J has been constructing more houses for his Arnhem game. Yes the game will be set prior to the action kicking off, which is why everything is still intact.

I’ve been using some vine style foliage found in the Works to make simple hedge rows with. A coating on PVA glue and they are ready to go.

And lastly for this week, Marcus W has been working on more Spy-Fi miniatures.

We can definitely spot a familiar villain in their midst!

And with that we will see you next week.

It’s a rather Autumnal Wednesday here and  I for one can appreciate the cooler temperatures for getting a bit more painting done. We start this week with Stephen’s marvellous Quar balloon. The Quar seem to be providing untold opportunities for these types of modelling projects. It won’t be long before the first aircraft appears.

Next up and Marcus W has made progress on their ice formations. Ice is tricky to do and I believe Marcus is adding more details to these pieces.

Moving on and Eric is back to the Battletech hanger, to get another lance ready for an upcoming game of the classic variety.

And we finish this week with a definite up take in output from Andy. Firstly he has dug through the odds and sods box to work on various pieces of scatter terrain.

We then have the finished Sneakfeet miniatures.

And a fair number of finished Einherjar space dwarves. Looks like Andy has enough for a future game of Grimdark Future: Firefight or even the full battle version.

And with that we will see you next week.

It’s Wednesday again and this week we start with Andy with more progress on his Einherjar space dwarves and the Sneakfeet associates.

Next up and Tony F has finished some test paints for his soon to be legions of 10mm Rohan forces.

Stephen has finished painting another scratch built arabic style building. This will no doubt be making an appearance in the next Crusades battle.

Sticking with scratch building and Stephen for that matter, and we have an observation balloon as suitable decoration for his Quar in the next game of Clash of Rhyfles.

And last for this week, I’ve made some progress on some Sci-fi crates. As they are sci-fi I’ve gone for bright colours for the base coat.

And with that we will see you for more progress next week.

Welcome to another Work in Progress Wednesday. A big thank you to Andy for looking after things last week.

We start this week with some Quar from Tony F, these were a few spares he had on a sprue and decided to make them into shock troops, or as he called them ‘Quaratroopers’.

Moving on and Marcus W has started painting up some frozen terrain pieces. I believe these were 3D printed.

Next up and Chris St looks like he’s fed up with the neighbours given the amount of fencing on his workbench.

Next we have Andy and continuing progress on his Sci-fi forces. Firstly Einherjar space dwarves.

And the camo patterned Sneakfeet in support.

And lastly for this week, I’ve started on some sci-fi crates. These were some sort of octagonal wooden beads that I picked up with the idea of making more scatter terrain. I’ve added a few pieces of tarp and will no doubt be painting them in bright sci-fi colours.

And so we will see you next week for more progress from the members.

Welcome to another Wednesday, we start all at sea with marcus and some more terrain scatter pieces for the bottom of the ocean.

I think some of these will also double up as objective markers.

Moving on and Phil gives us a glimpse of his Lord of the Rings production line. As well as the legion of 10mm orcs already painted, we can see here more engines of war and various trolls, going through their painting stages.

And last but not least for this week Andy has made progress on his Einherjar and Sneakfeet army.

And with that we will see you next week.

Welcome to a new Work in Progress Wednesday post, we start this week with a sci-fi theme. In an attempt to recapture his youthful gaming days, Stephen has been painting up some mechs for a game of the original Battletech. Some of these mechs are even the Iron Wind Metals and not the newer plastic versions!

Staying with sci-fi and Andy makes a welcome return with some more Einherjar space dwarves to add to his growing army.

Moving on and John L has for us some newly 3D printed Anglo Dutch ships of the line. Always nice to see the naval gaming making an apperance.

And lastly for this week, more Quar! I’ve finished painting my converted italian tank, for my Quar Gwynt army.

And Tony F has gone for basing up some fruit trees. We often have trees, so a nice addition for some still bearing fruit.

And with that we will see you next Wednesday.

Apologies for skipping last week, a combination of busy schedules and the heat catching up with us meant we missed a week.

We start this week with Stephen, who has finished painting up his two AT-ST walkers. These are 3D prints to fit with 15mm miniatures.

Stephen has also been painting up some scatter terrain with these oil drums and crates. I believe they are from Debris of War.

Moving on and I couldn’t let Phil have it all his own way, so I’ve started painting 10mm Lord of the Rings Easterlings. This represent about 15% of the total force to be painted up!

And last this week marcus has also been painting up some crates and a power loader miniature.

Marcus has been basing his on clear bases so that he can use them on a variety of terrain set ups.

And with that we will see you next week.

It’s Wednesday so let’s see what the membership have been up to this week. We start with more Quar and Mark J’s completed Fidwog unit.

Staying with the Quar and Tony F has converted a WW1 toy tank as a tractor for his forces.

Heading to the depths now and Marcus W has been creating some terrain for his underwater adventures.

I must remember to ask Marcus where he obtained these various pieces of terrain. Normally the local Aquarium shop is the source, but these look much too detailed.

And lastly for this week Kim has continued painting up more buildings for Traitors Toll.

Going to look great when all the buildings are together to form the town for the game.

We will see you next Wednesday.

Welcome to another Work in Progress Wednesday. We start this week with Eric who has been using the slap chop painting method to good affect on some Dreadball players.

He has also used it on some fantasy human guards.

Next up and Stephen has started in some 15mm Star Wars 3D printed AT-ST walkers.

Moving on and Phil has started on some 10mm Lord of the Rings trolls. I’m sure there are many more of these to come!

Next we have Mark J who is continuing his build of the Arnhem bridge, loving the rivet detail on this.

Marcus continues with his underwater themed gaming, this time he has put together a sunken ship.

With the front and back halves split as they sit on the sea bed.

And with that we will see you next weekend.

Welcome to our Work in Progress Wednesday Quar Special

We’ve had a number of members getting into playing Cash of Rhyfles and collecting Quar miniatures this year, we thought we should do a blog post all about it.

We start with my Quar, I went for the Gwynt faction within the Royalist camp. I went with the red/orange uniform scheme as shown in the rules. I’ve also been building my own imagined Quar houses, that you can see in the main picture.

In the Clash of Rhyfles game you get a number of ‘pluck’ points to help you, so I decided to build a Pluck counter complete with Quar taking a well earned break.

Stephen went for the Coftyrans, also Royalists and has also embraced a bit of converting by making this war correspondence.

He has also been picking up some tank models to go with his Coftyran infantry. Rather than go for the official vehicle models he decided to go for an early tank that looked the part.

Moving on and Mark J also couldn’t resist and went for the Fidwog Royalists, their normal squads come with single Quar tankette’s, and keeping in with the spirit of the game, the tank has a side tray with complementary bottle of wine.

Tony F has not been idle and picked up these from the local aquarium stockist, and with the aid of a couple of chimneys , doors and windows has created some houses for his Crusader forces.

Phil also went for the Crusaders and here we see a few specialist units. Firstly the bicycle riding Cook who also doubles as a medic.

And a Squirrel handler complete squirrels to assist in battle.

And again using his imagination for the Quar he has 3D printed a flying machine that seemed to fit. There are no flying machine rules in the game but I cannot see it staying that way for much longer.

And with that we aill see you next week for our regular look at progress.
