Still have a lot of ships to paint up, but here’s a few shots containing one each of the escorts, frigates, and battleship class ships for Big Thrust.  These should give a better idea exactly how big that battleship is compared to the deodorant-stick escorts....

The latest addition to the human fleet for the game I’ve taken to thinking of as Big Thrust is fully built and painted.  This bad boy was hand made out of foamcore and lots and lots of found items.  Old medical syringes, superglue lids, a pen lid, bamboo skewers...

So very tired. Operating in a bit of a fugue state at the moment, what with sleeping in a hospital and the every-two-hour feeds. Had a great post showing the paint process for the big spaceships ready to go. Deleted it in my torpor. Not even sure if that’s...

Ten months ago, I commissioned a one-of-a-kind miniature, and it just arrived last night… Something tells me things are going to slow down here at War In a Box....

Turns out those deodorant bottles are frigates, and we’re moving on to assembling the cruisers and battleships.  At least that’s the terminology for Full Thrust. The first attempt at the bigger class ships didn’t go so well.  The plan was to fill odd shaped shampoo bottles with Great Stuff...

Well over a year ago, I posted a teaser for a miniature wargame project using all sorts of household odds and ends.  With a wargamer’s birthday coming up in a little over a month and a half, it’s time to put this plan into action.  The plan is to...

Put some color on three bridges for Notromunda this week, and they sure are bright.  Starting to worry that my pulp sci-fi urban terrain might wind up being downright garish. I think that the red pearl stickers help bring these together, even if the primary colors I’m using clash...

The next name on my dance card is Tigers by the Tail, featuring the hot tank-on-tank action of 5 DPRG Chonma Ho’s escaping from a pair of M70 Perkins.  This is the second scenario included in the main rulebook of Tomorrow’s War, and to expedite the game I’ve made...

Got a couple of points to add to yesterday’s Tomorrow’s War post.  They didn’t make the final cut because the AAR was getting a bit long.  Neither is enough to justify a full blog post, but they are each perhaps worth a brief mention. The Shroom House You might...

The boy has been pestering me to buy and paint a full unit of Rebel Mini’s slick new Sons of Thunder alien dwarves.  He’s a bit jaded on the skirmish level gaming after seeing four of his Mangalorc gang killed in action and his leader captured by his sister’s...
