Ladder for the Lads
Like I said – a little drybrushing and those zip-ties really pop as ladders. If you don’t think about it too hard. This shot gives you glimpses of other design decisions. The vents turned out just fine, but they still need numbers on them. The teal and orange will...
Brilliant Solutions
The best comment section on Blogger is right here, folks. Early this week I lamented that my storage case was almost perfect. Two, count them TWO, loyal readers pointed out that I’ve got pointy blades that could nip a small notch in the case, which would allow me to...
Almost Awesome Storage Solution
Down to the local craft store this past weekend, looking for a small plastic box to house my Mangalorcs between games, and stumbled on this slick little number. It’s a carousel of five small boxes that detach, with a larger and deeper central bin on top. It’s only nine...
Rocket Lessons, Part the Second
Do as I say, not as I do. I did as I do, and it was a mistake. So from here on out, I will do as I should have done and would have done, if I had somebody making these mistakes for me the way I’m making them...
Who Is Number One?
Notre Dame, for the next month at least. But on my table, this warboss is number one: That power sword turned out pretty good. The 28mm grenade becomes a big frackin’ bomb at this scale....
Sporc Boyz
Quick update with some painted GZG Space Mercenaries. Brummie pointed out that they look more like the Mangalores from Fifth Element than orcs, but let’s be honest here. Mangalores are just orcs by a different name. Big, green, ugly warriors? You could call those ugle mugs Cutieponies and they’d...
Cheese it Boys, It’s the Copse!
This looks like your normal wargame tree stand. Art posterboard cut into a circle, a few dollar store plastic trees, some rocks, sand, and paint, and it’s an instant forest. In my world it becomes a low-cost oxygen generation machine. This is designed to fit right into the heart...
Meditank Complete
Wampas got you down? Spent the night inside a Taun Taun? Maybe Dad just hacked off your lightsabre arm. Whatever has you down, this little number will fix you right up. Filled with the finest nano-enhanced bio-regenerative slime, this medical tank is a must have for all deep spacers. This...
Sporcs!
Ground Zero Games makes these spiffy little figures they call “Sci-Fi Mercenaries” or somesuch, but they’re really space orcs. We’re gonna go with the ‘black primer/white drybrush” method on these bad boys. As my first 15mm figures, I’m not sure how well it’s going to work, but it’s hard...
First Fifteens
Remember that Silent Running gag I pulled a couple of days ago that nobody really understood because Joan Baez sings a lot of songs about trees and that movie is pretty obscure and older than me and I’m no spring chicken my own self and the post had no...
