KV2 finished, KV1 and Panther M10 in progress
The captured KV2 / PzKpfw 754(r) is finished. I did final touches on the armour, and finished the tracks. After painting the colours, drybrush and wash, i added homemade mud-paste and model gras.
Aradia Miniatures – Toad King
Aradia Miniatures is a small miniature company from Italy. Their high class resin miniatures already caught my eye on some of the painting blogs around the web, and i had the chance to meet them at Scale Model Challenge.
In this review, i'll take a look at the Toad King. It is a resin miniature in 54mm scale. The toad king himself is roughly 60mm tall and costs 30 Euros.
Historisches Museum Aurich
During vacation at the german north sea, i was in Aurich. Lovely city and they even have a small historic museum that i visited. It's in the shopping mile within the cities core and only 3,50 Euro entry fee.
Salute Teaser & Preview
Just booked my flights for Salute. April 16th it is, at ExCel exhibition hall in London. So pack your bags, grab your pounds and get ready to spend some of that quids on plastic, resin and lead.
I will bring my dslr and cover the show for you, but beforehand a few teasers and previews on what we can expect and what i am already excited about.
BitBox Aftermath & vacation
The sunday before easter, the 9th Bitbox was held in Mülheim an der Ruhr. I got my own table to sell off parts of my collection and it was quite busy, as you can see, so i hadn't had the chance to take that many pictures.
Around noon it was really really crowded, and miniatures and money were exchanged - often and happily. And you could still feel the "afterwaves" of the big notice wave last year at Games Workshop Germany. Still lots of promotional stuff, employee exclusives and even official gear on sale. And the hosts, Freebooter Miniatures, was offering their range as well.
Homemade KFC Fried Chicken
Gaming night, with Blood Bowl introduction and Bitbox preparation. So yet another cooking article on the chaosbunker, this time - KFC = Koblenz Fried Chicken.
Starting with a 1,5 pound of chicken breast. And as you should support your local businesses, i get my meat at a local butchery.
Ainsty Castings
This is actually an article, that i wanted to write for a long time. I bought some Ainsty Castings at Antwerps Crisis one or two years ago, and wanted to share my impressions with you.
Terrain is an important part of gaming and as such i am looking for affordable / reasonably priced pieces, that can be used for several settings. I found good prices at Ainsty Castings (was even able to get a bit of a bargain at the show) and got myself a small cemetery and a couple of boxes.
Armoured Syndicate El Toro
Megaton Games is going to launch Armoured Syndicate later this year, and already had a few models out at last years SPIEL in Essen.
Armoured Syndicate is a postapocalyptic game in 32mm scale, covering wasteland survivors and industrial mechs, that are repurposed for warfare. One of these mechs is El Toro from the Cuervos Muertos faction (spanish for Dead Crows).
Bitbox Teaser & Preview
Next sunday, on march 20th, it is once again time for Bitbox! The tabletop flea market in the Ruhr-area.
I am already sorting out miniatures and kits, that i want to part from, and to give you a small teaser and what i am going to sell, take a look at these.
Fallschirmjäger, Wintergear and captured vehicles
I'm currently in full Bolt Action mode. The winter gear germans arrived and i'll cover them in an article on their own, with a bit of unboxing and reviewing. And the recently released plastic Fallschirmjäger will get some love too. But to be honest, it wasn't hard to come up with some love for those, as the kit itself is amazing and i had a lot of fun building them.
