As well as the civilian mechs I got at Triples I got some of the new trucks. These are now glued together. They have a nice rugged 2300ish look. I’ll not do too much about them here but I’ll post a bit more when they get closer to being done. The one o…
What I can say, is that it was a great day, and my thanks to the guys there for making me and my kids very welcome for the duration of our stay! My kids loved it, as did I and I managed to get myself a few choice bits off my shopping list (more about […

Last night I finished off the minor changes on my Padre figure. Ultimately, this is not the figure I wanted to go with as he lacks some of the drama I wanted for the figure. He looks way too subdued. There is a figure in the Peter Pig WWI Russian pa…
It has been indeed a while since the last time I showed some painted minis. I’m particularly tired and I don’t really feel comfortable painting during the evening. I rather prefer reading… You know what I mean.Cela fait un bout de temps que je n’avai…
I posted a couple of weeks ago about the casting issues I had with the Swedish Skirmish set and then about how Wargamer.pl had got in touch and were going to send me a replacement set. Well now the replacement set has arrived and the quality of the cas…
As I mentioned a few posts back, I’ve been getting in some solo or co-op games following along with Britton Publishing’s Solitaire Soldiers campaign book. There are ten missions, which I’m going through in order, which start from D-Day and follow a squ…

I have purchased a large amount of GZG 15mm vehicles that have have been sat around for a while now. In terms of weight in the lead mountain, this is the single biggest purchase I have made in ten years. I wanted some stuff that would fit in with…
I just thought I’d let you all know, I have put a new poll up on the site, this time concerning the forthcoming release of the Grinning Skull Miniature line by 15mm.co.uk. Since some of you will be getting your hands on some (hopefully!) I want t…
Just to show that I have been busy, here are some of the painted an washed figures.These guys are my Ottoman cavalry, they are Venaxia miniatures and are very nice, on the larger size for 15s but good non the less. The weapons arms come separatel…

Short and sweet today with just a single update; 15mm Grenadier platoon for Flames of War. Click for a ‘much’ larger image. I still have to add flock and grass tufts to the anti-tank platoon PaK 40s and fiddle around with a few officer ma…
I took on a terrain commission a few months back to make some 15mm pieces for a Flames of War board. These included some summer wheat fields and well as hills and forests for a winter game.The hills turned out okay. My approach to simulating snow worke…

I grabbed my figure that I was going to morph into my Italian Padre figure for my CSIR army. He originally was to be a senior officer figure. He has a couple of problems. The first is the binoculars. That was the first thing that had to go. Next w…
