Category: WIP Wednesday

Welcome to the last Work in Progress post of 2025. We are taking a short break and will be back with our 2026 projects in January.

For this week we start with a project of mine, I’m building a Robot army. I have robot miniatures from lots of different sources so decided to paint them all the same so they blend in. Here we have an old EM4 robot, an AT-43 Therian (looks a bit like a robot) and a 3D printed skeletal robot.

Next up and Mark H has been painting some Yak9P 1950 vintage North Korean fighters.

Moving on and taking a break from orcs, orcs and more orcs, Phil has painted some 3D printed alien terrain pieces. These are more biotech style pieces.

Tony F has also been busy working on some sci-fi terrain of his own. We start with some plastic kit market stalls.

He has painted up some stacks of crates useful for hiding behind in a fire fight.

And having discovered a box full of resin terrain pieces in the loft, felt it was about time they were painted.

And we will end this year with something wonderfully random fromStephen, who presented these fungus themed bases. I’ve no idea what they are for but I like them.

Have a well earned break over the festive period. The work in progress posts will return on the 7th January 2026!

It’s the penultimate Work in Progress Wednesday for 2026. We start this week with Phil and what he informs me is a Coftyran Chyweethl tractor from the Quar miniatures range.

Phil has also been painting some strange alien scenery, apparently this is a storage container?

Meanwhile Tony F has been using a silicone mould designed for making food items like chocolate or icing treats. He has poured resin in instead.

The result being various bush/plant pieces to use as scater terrain.

Tony has also be working on some Fauna in the form of these dangerous lookning hounds.

To be festive I decided to repaint my scratch built Maggot beast, wanted something a little more realistic colourwise.

And last for this week we have Marcus who has apparently found a Woola. He knows what that means, the picture provided was this beastie!

And with that we will see you next week for our last Work in Progress Wednesday post for 2025.

Only three more before Wednesdays before the Christmas holiday. But progress is not letting up.

Phil certainly isn’t with yet more 10mm orcs for a massive lord of the Rings game at some point in the future.

Speaking of which I’ve had a test paint of some 10mm Lord of the Rings Easterlings.

Next up and Stephen has decided to create some alien looking terrain using just hot glue and a blue paint scheme.

Back to reality and Mark J has gone back to his 28mm WW2 forces and continued painting up the last of his Volksgrenadier platoon in winter uniform.

Moving on and Tony F has painted up a couple of 3D printed beasties, which now makes me regret signing up to the next Stargrave game.

Tony has also applied a Chris Foss inspired paint scheme to his curtain thing topped (don’t ask) tesla tower.

And with that we will see you next week.

It’s Wednesday and that means progress! We start this week with some 3D printed construction style robots from Tony F. He has also been scratchbuilding some other sci-fi pieces with a few 3D printed gubbings thrown in for good measure.

Moving on and I think Mark J has finally finished painting his 10mm French and German early WW2 forces.

And the French forces, apparently these are both ready for a game of the ‘O’ Group rules from Two Fat Lardies.

Next we have Stephen who has started on a Quar tankette, he has swapped the crew member to the faction he is collecting. I won’t pretend to know the factions but I’m thinking of collecting Quar myself.

Moving on we have Phil who has continued with his 10mm Lords of the Rings orc army with some more trolls.

And lastly for this week I’ve made some scale agnostic volcanic craters. I actually made them out of a type of plastic that you can mould when warm and sets rock hard when cold. The lava was created with some orange translucent hot glue.

And so we will see you next Wednesday.

We start this work in progress Wednesday with some Slaine fantasy from Eric. First Slaine himself mid spasm change! Followed by some other celtic warriors and a roman.

Taking to the air and Mark H has been working on some US Navy Skyraiders and North Korean Yak9P’s from Tumbling Dice. He has also started on some bridges that will no doubt be targets of a future game.

Stephen has fiished his warlord made from a couple of diferent miniatures spliced together.

And he has put the finishing touches to his oasis.

Now we have Tony F and some rather impressive Cacti, these were desk ornaments found in Ikea. In front of them are some cyber dogs.

And lastly this week, I’ve painted up a couple more mechs, this time a Blood Asp and Warhawk.

And with that we will see you next week.

We are running out of Wednesdays for 2025 but we start this one with some of my progress. First up I scratch built some 6mm fuel dump pieces, and while on the 6mm kick I painted up some Mechs. First ones in at least 30 years!

Moving on and Mark J has gone back to painting more 10mm WW2 german armour after spending time on the French forces.

Next up and Tony F has been working on various crates. Thes sci-fi pieces are scratch built from ammo trays, not that he has lots of bullets to store but you can pick them up as futuristic pallets. One set has actual bought crates the other is a chopped up plastic waste pipe.

He has also painted up some wooden crates for a more traditional setting.

Stephen is in a crusading mood with the start of a Warlord made from splicing together a couple of different miniatures.

And the start of a scratch built oasis to give him somewhere to lead his horse to. I’m sure there will be some palm trees to accompany this.

And with that we will see you next week.

Welcome to Wednesday and this week we start with some bones. Tony F has been building some terrain, this time the remains of some gigantic beast.

Thinking of beasts, he has also painted up these two vicious looking bugs.

Moving on and another of our Tony’s, Tony P this time has continued amassing his Greek warriors and a temple for a bit of flavour.

And some more warriors with what looks like a champion out front.

Sticking with quantity and Mark J has moved on to some French infantry and support guns for his 10mm WW2 project.

There’s going to be a lot of units on the board when he’s done.

And with that we will see you next week.

It’s Wednesday again so let’s take a look at what our society members have been working on.
We start this week with Mark J who has continued to with his 10mm WW2 project with more buildings and armour.

Next up is me, I’ve been having a go at crates covered with tarp/canvas. Used a dried out glasses wipe for these, covered in PVA glue.

Now for something unusual, Phil is working on a Kate Bush themed Stargrave game and these are some of the loot tokens.

On the subject of Stargrave Charlotte has been painting some Fallout charatcer miniatures also for a future Stargrave game.

And finally for this week Tony F has put together a futuristic tower from (in his own words) an industrial thread bobbin, while the top is a cheap curtain rail finial.

And with that we will see you next week.

Welcome to the Work in Progress Wednesday post. I’m starting this week with some alien plants made out of pasta. My previous set were 16 years old so thought I’d make some more. I’ve also purchased a 3D printed skeleton of a dragon to use as scenery. It’s not a very good printing but will be fine as a bit of dressing for the battlefield.

Next up and Mark J has been busy paiting up 10mm scale early war tanks and other vehicles.

Something out of left field now, Tony F painted up a couple of characters for Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy themed Stargrave game. Here we have Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect and Thor.

And last for this week Tony had also created an interesting piece he’d seen another gamer make to keep track of the order players go in a turn. It worked really well for the game we played .

And with that we will see you next Wednesday.

We are covering quite a lot of genres this week with our Work in Progress Wednesday post.

We start with Charlotte having put the final touches to their Stargrave Crew. They have already been planetside so expect a Stargrave report coming soon.

We move on to  fantasy now and Phil has painted up a number of 10mm 3D printed trolls.

And yet more 10mm 3D printed Orcs, some archers this time to make a change from all the infantry.

Moving on to something historical but also in 10mm and Mark J has been painting up some early war German infantry.

Apparently he has managed two battalions done in a week!

Now on to something I’ve been meaning to do for a while. 16 years ago I made some alien plants out of pasta, and thought it was about time to make some more. Think I’ll go for a bright colour this time.

And I’ve put the finishing touches to my Starwars toy turned into a smaller scale sci-fi building.

And last for this week back to the historical with some medieval welsh archers from Stephen. Destined to swell the ranks of his Barons War armies.

And with that we will see you next Wednesday.
