Category: WIP Wednesday

We start this week with Stephen and his now complete early medieval castle. We can see some Norman lord has already moved in.

We stay with Stephen and something that Norman Lord would probably have appreciated. Two porta loos and a tent. I can see the porta loos turning up as an objective in a game!

Moving on and Mark J has started work on a WW2 German Flak38

I’ve also been busy finishing off the 3mm sci-fi buildings I got from Brigade Models. I’ve created two small settlements with the desert buildings.

And little groupings of the colony buildings, with a rare splash of colour from me.

And last but by no means least this week Tony F has painted up a Gothic Crypt from Debris of War.

We will see you again next week.

It’s already March, where is the time going. I’ll start this weeks Work in Progress. I’ve managed to paint the first layer of my Robot Legions army made up of various robot miniatures.

To go with those I’ve also started on some sci-fi scenery. This are made from off cuts of MDF stuck together to make futuristic standing stones.

Moving on and Andy has been painting up his Sneakfeet and Einherjar miniatures.

And he has painted up the fencing we saw last week.

Chris St has continued on his spectacular French from the War of the Spanish Succession.

And lastly for this week Mark J has continued with his British infantry, he’s probably feeling relieved to have moved onto another colour uniform.

And with that we will see you next Wednesday.

Welcome to another Work in Progress Wednesday, we start this week with Chris St and some wonderful looking French from the War of the Spanish Succession.

Next up and Stephen has been scratch building again, this time an early Norman castle. The central building was a previous scratchbuild to set the scene while he works on the outer wall.

Moving on and we have a cast of Characters painted up mainly by Marcus with a few done by Tony F, that made an appearance for our current show game The Labyrinths of Mars.

Andy has made a return with some fencing. These are Rendra fences he has mounted on wooden garden plant name labels.

The bases have been painted ready for flocking.

Meanwhile, I’ve been making some mineral deposit scatter terrain. These were made by pouring hot glue into silicone moulds. I will paint these black to match other rocks I’ve made.

And lastly for this week Phil has given me this pile of 10mm Easterling infantry. I’m sure he expects me to do something with them, when I work that out you may see some progress.

And with that we will see you next week.

We start this week with some work in progress from Marcus who is putting together our 2026 show game The Labyrinths of Mars. The first outing for the game will be the Cavalier show in Tonbridge on the Sunday 22th February 2026. 10am to 4pm.

Marcus has repurposed his previous scenery adding a red colour scheme.

And monsters, objectives and treasures to match.

Next up Stephen has converted a toy digger to another Quar tank. looking forward to the first game of A Clash of Rhyfles at the society later in March.

Sticking with the toy theme, I have been painting up some toy construction vehicles and adding tarp over the top to disguise them as being obvious toys.

And lastly this week Mark J has moved on to painting up some WW2 brits to accompany his Churchills.

So do come and see us at Cavalier in Tonbridge, otherwise we will see you next week.

 

It’s another Wednesday and we start with Mark J and more progress on his tanks. The mud splatters on these Churchills look great.

Of course they need an opponent so Mark has also painted up an 88 Flak gun and crew.

Moving into the future and Tony F has finished the Stargrave crew figures we saw progress on last week. These are bounty hunters from DieHard miniatures.

Sticking with the Sci-fi theme and I’ve been painting up some new 3mm buildings from Brigade Models, I’m going to try something different to the usual sand colour for these settlements.

And lastly for this week, we all like a useful find. Andy discovered these letters and numbers on cork discs. He has mounted them on round MDF bases and they will make great objective or other markers.

And with that we will see you next week.

Welcome to another Wednesday progress report. We start this week with yet more tanks from Mark J. That airbrush is getting a serious workout with a pair of Churchills.

Moving on and Stephen has painted a new robot, I believe this one was from Alternative Armies, you could use this for a lot of different scales but I have a feeling it’s heading for the next Stargrave game.

Next up and I’ve been experimenting with different coloured hot glue to make some alien looking pools.

Sticking with alien things and Marcus W has been painting up some more scenic things for his Mars game.

And some more miniatures for the game as well.

And lastly for this week, we may as well stick to the sci-fi theme with some replacement crew members from Tony F along with some more giant cactus.

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

It’s Wednesday so that can only mean it’s time for another work in progress post. We start this week with some airbrushing on a King Tiger tank from Mark J, not bad for a first attempt with an airbrush. He has also painted up an  armoured half track for them to pull their pak 43.

Mark has also finished his Volksgrenadier platoon.

Moving on and Chris St has started on a squadron of splendid looking French Dragoons for his current WSS project.

Next up and Stephen has been working on some more terrain pieces.
Firstly some craters, always useful for any number of games.

And a pumpkin patch. These are from the infamous halloween potpourri brought to the members attention by fellow member Tony F.

And lastly for this week some finished Wargs for an upcoming Lord of the Rings game from Phil.

And with that we will see you next week.

Welcome to another Work in Progress Wednesday, we start this week with Mark J and some more WW2 miniature progress. Mark has started painting some german armour, he’s acquired his first airbrush and these vehicles are perfect for a try out.

He has also made some more progress on his Volksgrenadiers.

Next up and Chris St has been painting up the fairly new Stargrave Automaton miniatures. I was tempted by these myself, but now have too many space skeletons to paint.

Moving on and Phil has managed to finish his Watcher in the water miniature. This is the beast its self.

And some additional tentacles to cause the Fellowship a few problems.

Stephen has been busy scratch building a castle, this one is in 15mm scale and based on 13th century rotunda style castles.

And not to be left out Tony F has also been making some castles. These are 2mm scale keeps and towers from Brigade Models.

And with that we will leave you until this time next week.

Happy new year and welcome to our first Work in Progress Wednesday post of 2026. We have a bumper crop of things to show this week!

We start with a contribution from our newest member Chris St, with an impressive looking French unit for the WSS.

Next up we have an M48 from Stephen, we have a game coming up in later in January and I suspect this will be making an appearance.

Phil has been putting together an artillery piece for his Quar army, he has used a suitably looking WW1 gun for this. We are hoping to get our first game using the Quar at the society this year.

He has also finished off flocking this always useful rocky ground terrain piece.

Moving on and Tony F has been working on something outside his normal interests with these John Carter of Mars themed miniatures. These he is getting ready for our 2026 show game.

And some more beasties for the same game.

And we will leave you this week with some miniatures I painted that were also outside of what I normally paint. I painted two scenes as christmas presents using the range of fairy tale cloth miniatures from Statuesque Miniatures.

For this one I used the old lady in the woods with some singing rats.

And a scene with some cloth dolls and a cat. The mushrooms were just small craft wooden ones.

And with that we will see you next week.
