Holiday business
After this "marathon" of posts during December, i use the holidays to spend some time regenerating and relaxing.
Since mid-december i enjoy a couple of tv shows on Netflix while tinkering, i can only recommend Ray Donovan and The Americans. What else is on between christmas and new year? I am working on some of the articles i announced in the christmas post, taking care of terrain and the following.
The first is a Reaper Master Series 54mm miniature of an US Army serviceman. Solid cast, details are good, could be better but it is okay.
X-Mas Presents a.k.a. 2016 teaser
Wow, what a month! 24 days in a row, lots different content and articles. Hope you enjoyed it as much, as i did writing it.
But i am not quite finished yet, there is more to come next year, after i had a short break. So as a special christmas present, i want to let you in on what's under the tree.
I have a few board games in the queue, among others there is Arcadia Quest, Dead of Winter and Rise of the Kage.
German Wars – Part IV
After traveling through the ages from 1525 to the present, in the last 3 parts, in part IV i jump back in time. As promissed i try to cover the conflicts of and in the early holy roman empire.
Pinterest: Lead Plague, Back of Beyond and Panzerserra
Last few days until christmas, and i want to show some really special blogs from my pinterest board. I hope you guys liked the advent calender so far, and a ready to spend some time with your family and friends, have a rest, and maybe enjoy a game and a cold pint.
First pick is from France, Lead Plague. A pretty cool old school project log, about Rogue Trader and Oldhammer. Some original vintage miniatures, along with conversions of newer ones to fit in with the old vibe. Enjoy the nostalgy.
sprues, tanks and handworker stores
Some items, some very useful items, you find in the handworker stores. While catching some items for work, i grabbed a few sheets of abrasive paper and some clamps. You get such things specificaly for model building, but the diy-store usually have the more reasonable prices.
German Wars – Part III
After covering 1525 until 1871 in the last two posts, this one starts 1888 until the present. And let me tell you, it is way more than "just" World War one and two.
Rubicon A15 Crusader
Part of the Third Quarter 2015 releases is the A15 Crusader, including 6 different variants from Mk I to MK III, as well as the AA and CS versions.
Pinterest: Pijlie, Je Lay Emprins and KrautScientist
Here we are, Christmas is coming closer and i want to show you the next three picks from my pinterest board.
Let's begin with Pijlie's Wargames Blog, a dutch neighbor. His Jugula project was the one, i found first and other ongoing projects are not less interesting. So beside the 1:35 gladiator set-up, that i follow as well with the same miniatures, you'll find awesome paintjobs, Frostgrave and nice tours, among others in Berlin.
If you want to get a closer look on those miniatures and maybe meet a few of them in person, pay a visit to Poldercon in Utrecht, NL, on 7th February 2016.
Painting War: Spanish Civil War
A brief nod towards this spanish artist. Heresy Brush, of whom i am a regular reader, is publishing another PaintingWAR book, this time about the Spanish Civil War.
Bolt Action Empires in Flames
After exploring Europe in the beginning and the end, from east to west, covering tank battles, the next supplement for Bolt Action focusses on the pacific and far east, with Empires in Flames.
