Hovel 20mm & 15mm Buildings

 First up an addition to my 20mm farm buildings. This is the Derelict/ruined cart shed, from Hovels, a part of its 20mm Battleground range. Now working on the Farmhouse, once that's done will order some of the walls.

The next item completed is the 15mm Blacksmiths shop with stables, also from Hovels.

Normal service resumed

Got the lamp fixed.

Have finished a few more figures, the Bristish Force on force unit is nearly finished (all Britania Miniatures). I just need to find a .50  cal with gunner and assistant and a couple of figures for the spotters (MFC & JTC). The grass tufts are from tajima1 the service was excellent - ordered sunday received tuesday.

 Britania Miniatures - UK 16th Air Assault Brigade

The initial alien invasion race for Tomorrows War is now finished, all figures are from GZG. I've added 3 walkers with dual cannons.

Also finished a couple of flyers:

And finally finished the heavy walker.

 

And the whole squad together:

Also placed an order with Hovels for the 20mm farm house and out building. These turned up friday, I've already prepared and undercoated them.

I've added a new page to list my aims for this year and the progress I've made. I've also painted 14 strips of ECW musketeers for my Adwalton project - these need basing.

Next up, probably, a GZG 15mm module with air defence cannon.

Light Blown...

My modeling light has just given up the ghost. Ordered a new bulb from Amazon which should be here in a couple of days.

Outposts : Donovan Wylie

Went to the National Media Museum in Bradford today to see the Outpost exhibition. The exhibition covers Donovan's work initially done in Northern Ireland (The Maze and British Watchtowers). The main reason for my visit was the Outpost series. These are images of miliatary bases in Khandahar, Afghanistan, such as FOB Ma'sum Ghar. I thoroughly enjoyed the exhibition and it's given me plenty of ideas for scenery and scenarios.

A change of tac...

Thought I'd have a go at some 25/28mm. Wanted to try something simple to start with and dug out this wolf, think it's a Citadel model from the 80's, it was in a cardboard box on top of the wardrobe covered in dust.

Force on Force - Siege at Musa Qala

These are Britania Miniatures 81mm Mortar team.

Now the Gunner with 51mm Mortar.

Tomorrows War - Droids

These are from Critical Mass Games, part of the The Praesentia range. I intend to use them as the droid infantary - slightly reminiscent of the Star Wars droids. Based up 36 of these.

Also if I were to create a Japanese army for Tomorrows war I could use these - I think I might do these in bright colours.
