Talking Heads. And Houses.

Russian Houses by Pegasus.

Song of the Misty Mountain

Yeah the kids have been watching the Hobbit movies.

Anyway here are the latest completions.

18 War of Spanish Sucession Infantry by Wargames Factory painted as the Dutch Van Groot Rgt.

Same but as the Heidebrecht Rgt.

They come up well but you have to paint the eyes. I hate that.

Stand Back!

Breaking the habit...

Yeah, been listening to Linkin Park.

Anyway a few more things out of the stash.


Minirons 155mm Schiender gun.

In its intended form, WW1 vintage.

My own WW2 vintage using wheels from an Airfix He-111 kit.

Waterloo 1815 75mm Pack Howitzers.

These came from the British Para's version of the kit. They are still being painted.

Polish TP-7 by Mirage.

Nice little kit and one of my all time favourite tanks.

Those Magnificent Men ....

With a very busy weekend just gone I have only managed to finish 3 planes this week.

SPAD XIII's.

Manufacturer Unkown. Same age as the SE5a previously. Decals are post-war French from an Italeris Do217 kit.

Model by Academy. Photography by BAd Eyesight.

Finished the flight stand. We'll see how long the flock lasts.

Airfix Aichi D3A1 "Val".

Clearing the Desk.

Thought I get some of the many projects I have started out of the way before starting anything new.

WW1 planes

Biggles of 266 Sqn, Academy Sopwith Camel.

Sopwith Triplane By Revell.

S.E.5a from a kit so old it was one of the first I ever built myself.

Skull Cracker birds from Freebooter Miniatures.

Look good don't they.

Japanese Armoured Regiment Command.

The gun had been broken off the turret and lost so I converted this one to a Command tank mounting a small cannon (37mm) in the hull.

Te-He tankette. These were all second hand so I don't know who the manufacturer is.

Demagorgon from Devils and Demons Kickstarter.

Go for the eyes Boo.

I just love this base.

First Round of Clearances.

Ok. So since the last mega post (mega-lamania post) what have I actually managed to finish?

Well....
Dornier 217 by Italeri, 1/72 scale.

A very old Matchbox 1/72 kit, Beoing P-12.

A Vac-form kit from High Planes Models, CAC Wirraway, 1/72
German late war armoured cars in 20mm.

Repaint of a SdKfz 234/1 form Military Vehicles magazine. The turrent is a sratch build.

SdKfz 234/2 from Hasegawa.

Same as above but modded to be a SdKfz 234/4.

20mm Panzer 38t's. The two on the left from Military Vehicles Magazine, the ones on the right from Plastic Soldier Company.

Plastic Soldier Copmany Marder III Ausf M from the same kit as the PSC Pz 38t's above.

Military Vehicles magazine Hummel repainted with PSC crew.

Pegasus ISU 152's in 1/72 scale.
Usually I'd drybrush and get an appearance like this.

With the second one I drybrushed with powered pastels for a rust effect.
 Both the Soviet assault guns were painted the same base colour. I'm not completely happy with the way the tracks turned out with the pastels but a slight change in my method and I think I'll get what I want. I am pleased with the overall effect.


I have some commission work to do, which will take priority for now, then I have some character figures to do, then the Trollbloods, some Space MArines and then Wymgear!
