I’ve seen a lot of guys paint up this Khurasan robot (left) in a more colored ceramic style, as opposed to steel and chrome.  My effort just wound up looking garish.  Lesson learned – paint up the chrome underneath and then pick out the ceramic plates later. If you...

Just a pair of ladies up for today.  One flashy and one gritty....

15mm.co.uk adventurer, Khurasan starship crew, and 15mm.co.uk Rim Mercenary Wow, did I screw up the face on that mercenary or what?  My starship crewman is painted up in a more flamboyant space pirate style… …he’s also a bit of a Deadhead, as you can see.  The adventurer on the...

Win their minds when they are young, and you’ll have them for a lifetime… Choosing a starting figure. Time for flocking. I’m really more of a historical wargamer, Dad....

As above, so below.  In life there are svelte and petite people and there are big ol’ chunky people.  So why should life on the tabletop battleground be any different?   That’s the question for today’s comparison between Khurasan and 15mm.co.uk figures. On the one hand, there is a...

To say I haven’t been painting much lately would be a lie – I’ve painted the kitchen, the bathroom, the garage, etc.  Painting terrain at 1:1 scale isn’t as much fun as the 1:100 scale, so no pictures for you on that front.  On the sci-fi front, here’s the...

Added four more figures to the sci-fi skirmish selection.  On the left we have the last of the alien bounty hunters.  The three figures on the right are part of Khurasan’s post-apocalyptic line of figures.  Wolf-skin there doesn’t do much for me in a sci-fi setting, but the two...

More painted miniatures ready to roll.  These are more Khurasan figures – the bounty hunter pack 80% complete – for use in some sci-fi skirmishing.  Still haven’t run a game of 5 Parsecs from Home just yet, but we’re getting closer....

Nothing fancy this update.  Just a couple of quick shots of my freshly painted scientists from Khurasan Miniatures.  The scientist on the left seems like a bit of a mis-cast – his right eye has a gaping hole where his glasses should be, but it works just fine.  My...

Still prepping to run a game of “Five Parsecs From Home”, a game that calls out for a bunch of random figures more than a coherent squad of uniformed types.  The failed experiment in tweaking 15mm figures left me with a couple of heavy armored alien types.  To split...
