Category: WIP Wednesday

Welcome to another work in progress Wednesday. We start this week with Tony F and a toy bin lorry. With a little bit of re-painting work it looks really good next to a 28mm miniature.

Moving on we have an eclectic mix from Stephen this week, starting with some buildings intended for a WW2 setting, showing them both whole and destroyed.

Then we have a hot wheel Speeder from Star Wars, hard to tell the scale on this but I believe it will be fine for 15mm.

And finally from Stephen we have some more aliens, this time Grayson Grey a Grisian from the planet Gris, and an unpainted field researcher from Betelgeuse

Mark J has continued working on more Legions Imperialis miniatures, this time some Solar Auxillia.

Sticking with the Legions Imperialis theme and Felix has been painting a Reaver Titan.

And lastly for this week I’ve been painting some rocks. These were cut from a foam Yoga block and painted black.

I then applied a gloss varnish so they had a shine to them, they will work any scale miniatures, here we have them with both 3mm and 28mm miniatures.

And with that we will see you next week.

It’s another Wednesday and for a change let’s start this week with my efforts. Above we have some new 3mm sci-fi buildings from Brigade Models that I’ve started to paint up. Primed them in grey but don’t want to just do grey concrete so will need to experiment with different colours.

Next up some finished ships from John La for his Anglo Dutch wars fleet.

Next up a random direction change for Stephen who has decided to paint up some troopers with a 3D printed Vader and Tardis. Yes we know the torments that awaits him for mixing up franchises!

Moving on and although he’s missed Christmas Tony F has managed to snag some bargain bin mini trees. They come pre frosted but Tony decided to spray them green.

This worked out quite well as the white frosted parts added some contrast when sprayed. He now has a sizable forest.

And last but not least this week Mark J has made more progress on his Legions Imperialis miniatures, this time some Alpha Legion vehicles.

And with that we will see you next week.

Welcome to another work in progress Wednesday post. We start this week with some armour from Mark J for a cold war gone hot game.

And sticking with the armour theme Mark has also started painting a titan for Legions Imperialis.

Moving on and Peter M has been creating some more sci-fi scenery.

Peter has taken various toys and some 3D printed terrain pieces combining them to make new terrain features.

We have something a little different now from Marcus. He’s been scratch building a 6mm ship from Lego and various domestic plastic pieces, be interesting to see how this turns out.

Stephen has been busy painting up some converted miniatures to populate a sci-fi bar he is creating. It’s going to be a villainy and scum type of establishment apparently.

And last but not least for this week I’ve finished some 3mm and 6mm mechs. I’m using the 6mm mechs as heavy mechs for my 3mm army. They fit in quite well.

And with that we will see you next week.

A little departure from our normal work in progress posts. We recently embarked on a coffee stirrer challenge. The idea being to make something for wargaming from wooden coffee stirrers. A few of us accepted the challenge and present the results here.

We start with my effort, I went a bit over the top and decided to make a small wooden boat.

Stephen decided to make something very practical for gaming with, in the form of some archer mantlets.

Meanwhile Tony F seized the opportunity to make a piece of scenery needed for an upcoming game. He created the gate to Bree for a Lord of the Rings game.

And our final entry was from Andy who created a couple of terrain pieces. The first being a barricade.

And to follow Andy made a section of fencing, but decided to keep going and ended up making an entire fenced area.

This was an interesting challenge and a fun one to try an see what wargaming terrain we could make out of something as simple as a coffee stirrer.

We hope you enjoyed this slight distraction, we’ll get back to our usual work in progress next week.

Welcome to a very rainy (well in our part of the world) Wednesday for some more progress by our members. Going to start with myself for a change and the box monster I’m currently working on. Someone asked me to make this for a game and I just couldn’t refuse.

Next up and John La has been painting up some Anglo-Dutch War 1/2400 scale ships.

Moving on and Mark H is beginning work on some aircraft. I’ll let Mark explain them better “Planes are four USN Skyraiders and four North Korean Yak9P – the latter minor conversions from the WW2 era version of the YAK9 that Tumbling Dice provide”

For this week Stephen didn’t have any miniatures or terrain to show but we thought we’d mention, he’s been busy putting paints from dropper bottles into paint bottles with lids. I’m undecided as I’ve only just started using paint manufacturers with those bottles.

And lastly for this week Tony F has been basing up a load of K&M trees that he didn’t know he had.

And some sand worm style miniatures that he has 3D printed. These we are assured will be making an appearance in a Stargrave game some time in the future (oh joy!)

See you next week.

Despite over half of the membership regularly playing historical based games, this weeks progress is dominated by Sci-Fi. We start with Mark J and some more progress on his Legions Imperialis forces.

Next up and Stephen has been mixing various plastic kits to come up with some interesting characters. I think these are destined for a hive of scum and villainy somewhere.

Andy has also made progress with his various projects. The Werewolves have been primed along with a robot.

The Einherjar (space dwarves) have also been primed but Andy is also experimenting with zenithal highlighting.

That’s also been applied to his Sneakfeet (space halflings), will be interesting to see the results.

And last but not least this week, I’ve been painting some more of my 3mm sci-fi miniatures. This time some light mechs, just need to do the basing.

We will see you next week with more progress on our projects.

Welcome to another work in progress Wednesday. We start this week with Marcus who has been busy basing his 6mm miniatures for a sea based game. Above we have some VTOLs and below a mixture of naval units and hover tanks.

Next up Andy has been prepping a number of miniatures for various projects. Firstly some space dwarves.

Some halflings (called Sneak feet apparently) snipers.

And some werewolves.

Meanwhile Tony has created some turrets on what look like some sea based platforms.

And he’s also been painting up some new roads.

And finally for this week Stephen has painted a useful piece of packaging and created this sci-fi building.

And with that we will see you next week.

Giant stompy Titan kicks us off this week. Felix has been painting up a Reaver Titan for Legions Imperialis. While Mark J has continued work on a Marauder flyer.

Next up and Tony has started a new project, this time 10mm Dwarves for Lord of the Rings.

And another member for his Stargrave crew.

And finally for this week Stephen has been painting more town characters. This time the silent stranger and Daisy Chainsaw (don’t ask).

And an idol that members will soon be fighting over in an upcoming game of Stargrave.

See you next week.

It’s Wednesday and the members have made a start of their various projects.
First up we have Stephen who has painted a 15mm patrol boat for Vietnam.

Staying with boats and Marcus has also been painting boats, this time some 6mm sci-fi craft

He has also been finishing some 6mm sci-fi hover tanks.

Next up we have Mark J and some progress on his Legions Imperialis miniatures and buildings.

Some Legions Imperialis tanks, super heavy tanks and a gunship

Meanwhile Tony F has been busy getting terrain ready for a Lord of the Rings game.

And as his opponent in the game Phil has been painting some Ring Wraiths to pursue those pesky Hobbits.

We’ll see you next week for some more progress.
