Category: Modelling and Painting Articles

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.

It’s another Wednesday and we start with some colourful alien forces from Tony F who’s continuing to put together a 15mm Xenos Rampant force.

Next up Mark J has finished his Volks Grenadiers.

There’s also something from me this week, I’ve been busy painting up my 3mm forces, firstly the Union forces .

And the Executive forces in a fetching blue.

Andy has been finishing (no pun intended) some Start and Finish gates for gaslands.

And the gates themselves.

And finally this week some more from Andy with some cyber dogs from the cover of a wargaming magazine.

We’ll see you next Wednesday for more progress from the membership.

Welcome to another work in progress Wednesday post. We start this week with Chairman Mark J’s T55AM2b (yes he was that specific) and some more Volks Grenadiers.

Next up and Marcus is back on an aquatic theme with a converted toy sub miniature.

And some suitable sea dwelling dinosaurs.

After finishing my wars of the roses cavalry I’ve turned my attention back to my 3mm sci-fi forces. These are a selection of the GEV vehicles.

Last for this week we have some more GZG Japanese troops from Andy.

And a winged beastie with an objective marker Andy is calling the Eternal Flame made from a marble. Several members have already commented on what a good idea using a marble is.

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

Welcome to a new Work in Progress Wednesday post, that’s actually on a Wednesday!

We start this week with Charlotte and some Morris Men and May Queens for a future game of Folked Up that Charlotte will be running. This will be a good addition to the various periods played by members.

Next up and Andy has been busy getting his army ready for Xenos Rampant later this year, his GZG Japanese miniatures are looking good.

And they will be fielding a Warbot for that extra bit of fire power.

Finally for this week Tony F has finished off some more of his Belgian forces.

Should be an impressive force just as soon as he finishes some assorted carriers and the infantry.

See you next Wednesday.

Well the weather hasn’t stopped the members efforts for this week.

We start with Tony F and his Belgian force of towed guns and armoured cars.

Tony has been researching the correct marking for the vehicles.

Some nice attention to detail.

Next up and Charlotte has been trying out a new building technique with papier mache applied to a simple box building design. Will be interesting o see how the texture looks once painted.
Now we have Peter M who has been making sci-fi scenery out of old Dr Who toy sets. Most come already painted an with the odd addition here or there can be turned into useful scenic pieces.

Moving on and Stephen has managed to get hold of a horses skull to create a welsh mari lwyd banner.

And finally for this week Felix has finished off a T72, BMP-1 and a Chieftain for some cold war action to come.

See you next Wednesday.
