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.

Welcome to another work in progress Wednesday. I think the rest of the membership are still recovering from attending the Salute wargames show on the 12th April. This week we only have a few bits of progress and all of them from Member Marcus.

Above we have more progress on his divers, complete with loot boxes.

Next up Marcus has been busy on his ever growing collection of aircraft from a number of eras. Members have been trying to identify all the aircraft on Marcus’ painting table.

And finally from Marcus for this week we have two female protagonists soon to be spy’s in some James Bond themed game.

That’s it for this week, hopefully the rest of the membership will have recovered (myself included) and making more progress on their projects for next week.

Welcome to another Wednesday post, we start this week with a 3D printed orc horde that is part of the open day game Phil is putting on. This is just the first of many apparently.

Next up David P has been working on some German and Soviet WW2 troops.

Sticking with the time period and Marcus has been painting up some Beaufighters and P40’s.

Moving on a few years and Mark J has been painting up some Cold War Soviet Gaz 66 trucks and a BRDM 2.

And now jumping into the future or a long time ago given that Stephen has started working on a sci-fi bar appearing in a Stargrave game at some point. This will be a scratch built project, the tables being 50mm miniature bases.

And that’s it for this week, we will see you next Wednesday.

It’s another Wednesday and we start with more Legions Imperialis from Mark J. Above we have some more Alpha Legion units. Mark is due to put the game on in a couple of weeks so we’ll have a chance to see what the whole army looks like.

Next up we have some divers from Marcus to add to his underwater obsession. These have much more of a Jules Verne vibe about them than most of the other divers we have seen from Marcus.

And Marcus has also started some loot tokens for games like Stargrave.

And last for a short and sweet offering this week, I’ve managed to paint up some more 3mm sci-fi buildings from Brigade Models. I’ll soon have a small city for the battlefield.

And that’s it for this week, we’ll see you again next time.

Welcome to another Work in Progress Wednesday, we’re starting with lots of rocks this week. I bought a bag of 3D printed bits from Beowulf Miniatures at the Cavalier Wargames show, and really didn’t know what I would use them for. In the bag was a large oval hex covered base. So I surrounded it with black foam rocks.

I also made some more rock outcrops, just need to add some dry brushing to these. I also finished painting some more 3mm sci-fi buildings.

Moving on and Tony F has been busy creating some road junctions, hedges and trees for his 6mm forces.

Sticking with Sci-fi and Mark J has been painting up some raised platforms for his forthcoming Legions Imperialis game.

And last but by no means least Stephen has put together and old model of a UH1 helicopter as a crash site for a Vietnam game.

And with that we will see you next Wednesday.
