We start this week with some hover vehicles with a nice paintjob from Marcus, I believe these are Old Crow vehicles.

Next up and Dave P has started on a new project with some WW2 Soviet troops.

And tanks of course, you must have tanks.

Moving on and we have a Ziggurat complex from Sean made out of various small scale scenery bits from Brigade Models.

Now we have a Vietnam village from Stephen, it’s a nice aerial shot but a bit of a teaser as to how good the buildings look. Hopefully we’ll get more shots of this.

And last for this week I’ve started work on another Dropship conversion. I’m going to turn this 15mm grav vehicle from Brigade Models into a bulky dropship for my 3mm forces. Not sure how I’m going to convert it yet. I might put legs on it, haven’t decided.

And with that we will see you next Wednesday.

A small but perfectly formed offering for this week. We start with Mark J having almost finished his Judge Dredd miniatures. Mark has also been employing Felix to paint up some Volksgrenadier’s.

Next and I’ve painted up a force for Xenos Rampant. These are from the old (although still in production) Critical Mass Games range. These are the Kaamados Squamata miniatures.

And lastly for this week, Tony F has been working on the bases for his Belgian guns.

We’ll see you next Wednesday.

The days are getting shorter but there is no shortage of effort from the society members. We start this week with Tony F who has almost finished his WW2 Belgium force. Above we can see the officers with troops and AT guns below.

Here we have a close up of the guns.

And some specialist soldiers I believe with a mortar.

Next up and I’ve been busy with dropships again. This time I made some legs and put them on a Starship model from Brigade Models. It’s completely the wrong scale for my 3mm miniatures but I think it looks the part as a dropship.

Now we have the very first contribution to WIP Wednesday from Mike, with a selection of figures destined for a D&D Dragonlance campaign.

Any finally this week Marcus has been sticking to Sci-Fi but in two different theatre’s. First we have some spaceships.

And a 15mm tank for Marcus’ Xenos Rampant army.

And with that we will see you next week.

Welcome to another Wednesday post and we Start with Mark J and some progress for his Judge Dread game, the Fatties and CitiDef are coming along in suitably bright colours.

Next up Marcus has made progress on his Star Schlock robot.

And a 15mm tank, no doubt destined for his Xenos Rampant army.

Moving on and Tony F has been busy with his WW2 Belgium units.

Tony has added some rather fetching decals to his carriers. The weathering on these is looking very nice.

Tony has also started on the bases for some guns.

And because it was Halloween Tony has done a head swap for a suitable pumpkin.

Next up and Stephen has been painting some colourful villagers. I suspect there will be more to come so here’s the first batch.

And last for this week I’ve been continuing to paint my 3mm sci-fi miniatures. Although this time I’m using a 6mm scale Assault lander as a 3mm Dropship. I think it fits the role well.

See you next Wednesday.

It’s work in progress Wednesday and we star this week with some Ashigaru from Felix. I’ve never played games from that era, should really try and do that.

Next up and Charlotte has made some progress on their church, just the windows and doors to add detail to.

Charlotte has also decided to get on the property ladder with the purchase of an MDF castle. This looks like it’s going to be a lot of work to paint and detail, will be interested to see the progress on this.

Now we move onto Tony F who has been working on his universal carriers and towed guns.

We see a new project from Andy next with some Einherjar … nope me neither. I see now they are essentially space dwarves from Wargames Atlantic.

And finally this week also from Andy are some headless Dark age cavalry. I have it on good authority they won’t be staying headless.

That’s it for this week, see you at the next one.

We start this weeks post with some 2, 3 and 6mm sci-fi from me. I’m mixing it up a bit here by finally getting round to painting up some 2mm sci-fi desert buildings from Brigade Models. In the background you can see a 6mm Mech (also from Brigade) and some of my 3mm sci-fi miniatures.

I think the scales mix quite well.

Next up and Peter M has been building some sci-fi walls and I’ll let him describe the construction “The walls are foamboard, covered with cut-up sections of a cheap PVC mat; the black plastic top strip is a slide-in document holder; and the critical ‘connector’ pieces are 3D prints.”

Now we move onto Andy who’s still got his painting mojo it seems with some fence work.

And his completed GZG Japanese Xenos Rampant force.

Marcus has also been painting up some GZG Japanese sci-fi miniatures

And yet more Star Schlock miniatures, I dread to think how big the collection is now.

And last but by no means least this week, Tony F has painted up some portaloo’s that will no doubt make it into the next game of Stargrave.

See you at the next work in progress post.

We start this week with some Ninja Strike Force action From Peter M. These have been converted to have more modern weapons akin to the ninja force in the Bond film you only live Twice (one of my favourites).

Next up Andy has finished the last of his squads for Xenos Rampant.

Andy has also put the finishing touches to the Broadside show figure from *cough* years ago.

But it’s been a productive week for Andy as he has also finished of his cyber gun dogs, apparently destined for a game of Stargrave at some point.

Moving on and Mark J has been busy with some more Vietnam era stuff. This time some USMC Grenadiers.

And a NVA recoiless rifle team.

And finally for this week Stephen has also been painting up some Vietnam miniatures, this time it’s 15mm NVA.

We’ll see you next week.

We start this week with some more of my 3mm Sci-Fi miniatures. Above are the completed Union aerospace and VTOL units. I’ve decided to base them in pairs to exploit the smaller scale.

I’ve also start on some more mechs for the Executive forces and some mercenary tracked mechs, both the heavy and light versions.

Next up Andy has made some progress on his GZG Japanese, and the Broadside wargames show Norman miniature.

Lastly for this week and Tony F has continued work on … I’ll let Tony explain “A bunch of carriers for Brigade Piron – two Loyd carriers towing a pair of 6pdrs for the anti-tank section, and four universal carriers”

That’s it for this week, see you next Wednesday.

We start this weeks Work in Progress Wednesday with Mark J’s ECW camp, this ones for his Newcastle white coats just in case you hadn’t guessed.

Next up and Andy has been quite busy with an eclectic mix, starting with some more GZG Japanese troopers.

Andy has also made some progress on his Gun Dogs, adding a darker shade on some of the internal engine parts.

He’s also finished (no pun intended) his Gaslands gates.

And rounding off Andy’s efforts this week he has started on an old Norman miniature given away at a previous Broadside wargaming show.

Next up we have some more sci-fi units from Tony F, first a rather colourful mounted unit, Tony used a real lizard colour scheme for these mounts.

And some field guns with crews.

And lastly for this week, I’m been painting up some more of my 3mm sci-fi miniatures. I’ve been testing Vallejo Xpress paints. This was a colour test to see what would work the best.

That’s it for this week, see you for the next one.
