07th October 2011 Slowly but surely getting on with the Highlanders. Here’s the first batch. The figures are just enough to fill about 3 20x20mm stands – so still a way to go before I have enough stands to get a few batallions together. **************************************************************************************************************** 26th September 2011 This is for my good mate...
As I flit from one project to yet another, a picture of some figures I started painting last night, Stelets Boers. They have chunky and exaggerated poses, but on the plus side every single figure has a different pose. The picture is a little...
With members of the fairer sex in the house, old round/pearl type earrings that the girls no longer want are always easy to come by. I’m not 100% sure about how these are going to turn out, but they might make fairly acceptable street...
As a follow on to a skirmish scenario we gamed with some of our regular wargame buddies a couple of weeks ago (http://wargamestenerife.blogspot.com/2011/08/song-of-drums-and-shakos-escaramuzas.html), our mate Rob brought some very nice freshly painted 1/72 Italeri Napoleonic British he’s just finished. Italeri British 95th Regiment Italeri...
Dave Hall from Albuquerque New Mexico sent me some nice pictures of some 20mm SCW troops and conversions which can be seen below I have begun working on converting my World War Two rules over to the Spanish Civil War. The following pictures are...
I wanted to make some simple casualty markers for the Berlin scenarios and ended up making it a whole lot more complicated than I really needed. Anyhow, they’re done now, the stretcher bearers are old Esci WW2 French in greatcoats with headswaps, the “Frau...
I’ve had these figures for some time and when we needed some fanatical “Flying Tribunals” for the latest installment of our Berlin Campaign it was the perfect opportunity to get them painted up and onto the table. The only real conversions were to give...
A long long time since the last post, anyhow thought I’d show something new, just finished painting these IS2s for the next installment of our Battle of Berlin campaign. Big mean looking monsters. The one in the foreground is a Pegasus model – kindly...
Not been able to update the blog as I’ve had a few other things on my plate lately. I was in the UK a short while ago and happened to go into a “Poundshop”, where everything is, well, …a £1.00. Sifting through the tack,...
Our wargame group is currently gaming a series of scenarios from Iron Ivan Games’ “Race for the Reichstag” book and so here are some pictures of the scenery used in a couple of recent games. Italeri Bridge This was built by Carlos de la...
These pictures were on the site some time back (5 years ago to be precise…. seems like we gamed this scenario a few months ago…. time passes frighteningly quickly) but they got overlooked when I revamped the design and so here they are once...
