Lancelot Link to the rescue!(Eureka Miniature) A few of my favorite blogs are my favorite blogs in part because from time to time they issue a post consisting entirely of pointers to other blog posts that find interesting. Those always tickle my fancy because they expose me to cool...

The first stage of any terrain project is planning, and for the rooftop fights and infiltrations, there won’t be any drop cloth – only the tippy-top levels of large buildings.  They may be anywhere from three to fifty stories tall.  The precise height doesn’t really matter since we’re only...

Have some eye-candy in the form of a couple of seasonal shots from the archive.     Painted these guys a good decade ago.  These are just a couple of the very few figures that managed to survive the Second Great Sell-Off.  These are so old I can’t even remember who made...

Just when you think you’ve got it all under control…one of your dealers stops by to, you know, just to say, “Hey man, got some good stuff here.  Whattaya into man?” In this case my dealer would be old Gavin Syme over at 15mm.co.uk, which is fast becoming by...

A long, long time ago, I painted up a few gangs for 15mm Necromunda games. One of the gangs consisted of GZG’s space mercenaries.  From the files In order make a decent opposing force for my son’s Space dwarves, I tried to add some power armor to the mix...

Let’s add to the pile of comparison shots floating around the web, shall we?  Last week I showed you the three power armored figures added to my space orc/space mercenary/mangalore squad.  Here’s a shot of the figures side by side: Just noticed that one of the guys on the...

Hark!  The painting muse is upon me! Three new figures from 15mm.co.uk in the painted pile.  A civilian type alien, a grey dog or wolf, and an alien strongarm type.  The robed holy-alien will fill out crowds of civilians in urban/spaceport environs.  The dog was picked up for sentry...
