White Rabbits...well one actually.

Finished up the White Rabbit from the Reaper Chronoscope Alice and the White Rabbit set, the Alice sculpt just does not do it for me so will probably lie unpainted.  I was hoping to attach this to a display plinth but alas I made a complete mess of the plinth I had to just drop back and use a standard base.




One last picture as my Uncle keeps asking what size these figures are so I took a picture with a 20cent Euro coin, thats about the size of a UK 20p or a yankee Quarter.

US Airborne

Finished off the last of the Allied squads form the Open Fire set, the US Airborne troops.  Not too sure about the uniform colour as compared with the box art but I am happy enough with it.  Yet again I followed the Painting Doctor to get me to the end.

Hroom, hm, come, my friends. The Ents are going to war. It is likely that we go to our doom. The last march of the Ents.

Treebeard is done (only took my 8 years or so)

Finally finished this fella (yes I say that a lot as I have a lot of unfinished stuff).  I was always stumped by the base but think I finally got there with a new paint scheme and a lot better base than I usually do.

Achtung Panzer...err well StugIII at least.

Finished up my 3 little StugIII's from the Open Fire boxset, always had a liking for these little self-propelled guns.  Doing the camouflage is a pain especially as the Germans went with their 3 tone camouflage scheme late war.  Probably explains why they are so popular with modellers!  







Also a sneak peak of whats on the bench next, US troops from the boxset, a woodelf lord and Treebeard from Lord of the Rings.

Gullivar, Gnome Barbarian

Another day another figure!

Found this guy at the bottom of a box of figure, poor fella was half done so while I was waiting for the paints and washes on the Sherman Tanks to dry I decided to finish him off.

Flames of War: Open Fire Boxset.

I received the Flames of War starter set for Christmas which gave me a whole load of stuff to paint up.  Its been a while since I did World War Two stuff but having watched a few youtube videos I have been itching to paint up some tanks for a while.


After a few weeks I have finally finished the Sherman Tanks from the box.  These were a pain the arse to put together, luckily I had been forewarned about this by the FoW Facebook group.  There was also a mini disaster with varnishing them that led some to have white streaks on them but luckily another bout of weathering fixed them.

So here are the British tanks from the boxset all ready to take on the hun!  Next up the US airborne.

Pirate Lass

Finished my first figure from Dark Sword Miniatures this week, a lovely sculpt of a Pirate Lass.  Very fine detail on her, I struggled to pick it all out but overall I am happy with her.
