Category: Modelling and Painting Articles

Wednesday seems to have come around quickly, and for a rare moment let’s start with what I have on the painting table. Above are the mounted men at arms I’m painting up for the upcoming battle of Bosworth, you can even spot Richard getting ready for battle.

Next up I’ve started to paint up the 3mm sci-fi miniatures I sculpted. I’m revamping them so will be experimenting with new paint schemes, but I have lots of miniatures to do!

Lastly from me I have a set of Brigade Models Desert Sci-fi buildings, I’ll probably make some terrain diorama’s with these.

Now we move onto Phil who has dug out some old miniatures, this time his WW2 troops for a game at our open day. He is rebasing them and tidying up the original paint jobs.

Now we move onto Felix who has finished painting up a downed US crew and some NVA to hunt them down.

And lastly for this week Mark J has finished up another US Marine unit for a big Vietnam game.

And that’s it for this week, see you next Wednesday for some more miniature progress.

Here we are for another Wednesday and we start with Phil and a Quar force he has been assembling.

We follow that with Tony F and some loot tokens for Stargrave.

Next up and Charlotte has been busy putting together a building for an upcoming Project Z game.

This is going to represent the local supermarket.

And last for this week Marcus has been running more tests of his adaptation of the rules What a Tanker to a Sci-Fi setting.

See you next week.

It’s Wednesday and we have some new offerings from the members. We start with Eric and some Dreadball figures.

Next up Mark J has almost finished his Vietnam project with a School Building

And a Helicopter now mounted on a suitable base.

Now we have some more progress from Stephen on his castle

Andy has been ploughing on with his medieval Arabs, more light horse on the way.

And last but by no means least Charlotte has painted up a street gang, I’m assuming for an upcoming game of Project Z.

See you all next week.

It’s Wednesday again and we start with Mark J and more progress on his Vietnam era Patrol Boat.

That is swiftly followed by Andy and his Mexican Peons.

A change of genre now and Stephen has been in a fantasy mood with some Wizards and their apprentices.

And he’s painted up some undead warriors complete with skeleton dogs.

Lastly this week and Tony F has been busy painting up miniatures for an up coming Stargrave game. We start with some nasty looking critters.

Moving on we have a Robot Butler.

A Sabretooth Tiger.

And a destroyed robot.

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

Just a few offerings this week, but we start with Mark J and progress on his Vietnam game which is due at the club in a few meetings time.

Above we have a small building ready for painting, a Loach helicopter and a Seal Team boat. While below Mark has made some elephant grass from artificial grass cuttings.

Stephen is up next with a glimpse of the Castle he is building for one of our open day games this year (more on that soon).

And finally for this week Eric has made more progress on his 15mm forces for a game of Xenos Rampant at the next meeting.

See you next week.

How is it already April? Although the weather doesn’t feel like spring the members have been busy again.

We start with Peter M and soaring above us is another Space: 1889 cloudship, this one is the Imperial German LuftSchiffe the ‘Valkyrie’, recently seen at the Salute 51 wargames show.

Speaking of shows Phil had a very small addition to the society show game Summer of 77, in the form of a freshly printer bridge for the railway station. We’ll have to see if someone got a picture of the finished one on the game.

Next up and I’ve been doing some work on my Wars of the Roses army. I realised my spearmen units were more often fielded as the heavy infantry version so I rebased them to fit with my other heavy infantry units.

And I’ve started on a command base to represent Richard III as our campaign is just one more battle away from Bosworth. The king and retinue are from Peter Pig.

Returning to Vietnam and Stephen has painted up a US Marine company before moving on to the Viet Cong troops.

And last but not least for this week Marcus has made some more progress on his sci-fi terrain pieces.

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

It’s Wednesday again and some of the members are getting into their stride when it comes to progress on their projects.

We start above with some 3D printed terrain from Marcus. These pieces will be making their way to a game of Stargrave soon.

Next up and Peter M has been busy again scratchbuilding some more Space: 1889 cloudships.

These are US warships ‘Wasp’ and ‘Hornet’.

While here we have the Austro-Hungarian ‘Radetsky’ from a few angles.

Word on the street says these any many other cloudships are heading for the Salute wargaming show this Saturday (13th April).

Next up and we have more Vietnam stuff from Mark J and Felix. Firstly some US Marines.
