It’s Wednesday again and we start this week with Stephen and an A-7 Corsair, 1/100th scale ready for duty over Vietnam.

Stephen also managed to pick up a Warhammer 40K walker, that he stripped of the over abundance of insignia to make it more generic for various sci-fi games.

Next up and continuing with the walker theme, Tony F has repainted an old plastic Star Wars toy droid as this rather wonderful sci-fi JCB vehicle.

Moving on and Phil has made some more progress on his 10mm Mordor orcs, I think this represents about 1% of what’s planned!

We finished up with more miniatures from Marcus. Firstly some more Celtos orcs.

And the start of some Barsoom miniatures.

And with that we will see you next Wednesday.

And we’re back with our normal Work in Progress Wednesday posts.

First up and Mark J has been painting up a 3D printed Sherman tank. This is going to be for a big Nijmegen game.

Moving on and Marcus managed to paint up some more miniatures that we saw at his Open Day game. Firstly some Celtos miniatures, some beastmen, orc champion and a barbarian.

Not sure who makes these miniatures, but we have three more mean looking beasts.

Stephen has been busy tinkering and has come up with a mobile gun platform for his Quar captain.

And by chopping up a couple of other miniatures created this fetching sniper.

And finally for this week Tony F picked up some scatter terrain at a wargame show and got to work. Not sure what he plans for the Mini we’ll have to wait and see.

See you next Wednesday.

Welcome to another Work in Progress Wednesday. It’s very sunny here so progress might slow down a bit. I know I’m struggling to get projects done.

But this week we start with Phil who is putting the finishing touches to a gate to Moria for a Lord of the Rings game, and sticking with the Lord of the Rings theme but in a different scale with some 10mm Orcs.

Next up and Mark J has been putting the finishing touches to a universal carrier.

Returning to the Lord of the Rings theme and Tony F has been painting up more dwarves, no doubt with an eye on that gate.

And finally for this week Eric has been busy with a rune incrusted Wyrdstone.

And some miniatures referred to as Skullswords from a Kickstarter.

And with that we will see you next week.

Welcome to another work in progress Wednesday. We start this week with Peter M and another amazing scratchbuild. Peter has been mixing and matching with various models to create a new spaceship. Can you guess what the parts are?

Next up and Tony F has been putting the final touches to some 6mm buildings for a Hammers Slammers game. I think he can stop now.

For the same game Tony has also painted up some 6mm Hindi faction forces.

We move on to Marcus who has made progress on his tower for Frostgrave.

Complete with interior staircase and additional scenic pieces for the roof.

And lastly for this week, I discovered and old miniature I’d forgotten I had, the old Ral Partha D&D Ettin miniature, I plan to strip the 30+ year old paint and start again.

And that’s it for this week, we will see you at the next work in progress Wednesday.

Welcome to another work in progress post. This week we start with Marcus and some Denizens for the Labyrinth appearing at the Open Day later this month. He has also been busy scratchbuilding a tower for Frostgrave. Apparently this is one of three to be constructed.

Moving on and Tony F is also busy painting for an upcoming game, although I believe these are for a 6mm Hammers Slammers game at the Broadside wargames show this Saturday.

First up we have a small 6mm town which will be a likely objective in the game.

There will also be lots of wooded areas apparently, well you need to break up those lines of sight.

And finally from Tony F some monorail tracks.

Last but not least for this week and Phil has been painting some more 10mm orcs, it’s becoming a nice looking horde, but a little bird tells me he is supposed to be sorting out his 28mm orcs for his open day game!

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

Back to our work in progress this week and we start with Mark J and some Microart Studio MDF buildings for a future game of Chain of Command.

Next up and Tony F has been scratchbuilding 6mm storage tanks from IKEA doorknobs.

Moving on and Stephen has been covering a few genres, first by finishing his sci-fi cantina, complete with droid server.

And some resplendent 15mm medieval knights, a great chance to add some bright colours to miniatures.

And with that we will see you next week.

It’s Wednesday and this week we have a small offering of progress for you. I blame the sudden nice weather, always slows down the members projects.
First up we have a wonderful picture from Marcus of a bunch of aircraft miniatures for the RAAF and their New Guinea theatre of war.

Next we have an Age of Sigmar miniature from Tony F. Sigmar is not something he plays but was given a freebie miniature so decided to paint it up as a statue.

Moving on and Mark J has started on some 10mm WW2 German Panzers, I think he may be going full company on this one.

And lastly for this week, I’ve managed to paint up a 3mm Spherical dropship. I originally sculpted the dropship for the 3mm range some twenty years ago, but now that the moulds have worn out Brigade Models have redesigned it as a one piece resin miniature.

And that’s us for this week, see you next Wednesday.

It’s Wednesday and the progress continues with some 10mm 3D printed Orcs and Trolls from Phil.

We follow that with Mark J and progress on building a Huey helicopter.

Next up and Eric has been painting up more Mechs for an upcoming game of Alpha Strike. This time it’s a group of Clan Mechs.

Marcus continues to be busy with various aircraft projects, the first being some Mirage F1’s and a Buccaneer.

And some G4 Betty’s for the Japanese.

And that’s us for this week, we’ll see you at the next one.

Welcome to another work in progress Wednesday. We start this week with Stephen and a right bunch of scum and villainy, getting ready for a future game of Stargrave, and a were wolf that we are hoping won’t be making an appearance in the same game.

Next up we have Felix who has been painting orcs from his Isengard battlehost.

Following on from that and Tony F has been preparing for a forthcoming 6mm Hammers Slammers. He has been working on some roads.

And some power pylons.

And lastly for this week Marcus has continued painting up his planes, adding some tiny decals to them.

And with that we will see you next week.
