Easter, Short Holidays and Events
Easter is coming, and i have a short break from work for a couple of days. I started painting the Imperial Knight, as a Freeblade. I did a review on this kit, the Imperial Knight, and while painting it I am still bummed out about the Decal "fraud".
I kept most of the parts unglued, for easier painting. All parts were primed Black, and the armour parts were given a nice primer with Bolt Action German Fieldgrey, a very greenish grey. The metal parts got heavily drybrushed with metal from AP, but will get another go to really bring out the shiny color. As a contrast to the green, i choosed a bronze /brown-gold color for the armour trims. I'll keep working on this model in the next few days.
Trains, Terrain and Tons of Stuff
Just a quick heads up, what is going on currently. While i just finished the text, for the Imperial Knight Review (coming next monday), i want to show you some pictures of my latest additions.
I found this idea over at Stronghold Terrains Blog, Elmar did get his hand on some Fleischmann Magic Train. They fit perfect for 28mm / Bolt Action, as you can see. I got myself a nice little set of 6 at eBay for 20 bucks. They need a little paint, and then they are ready to go.
Winter is coming
Winter is coming. I finally completed the 35 Points of Khadorians. I really pushed myself to finish these miniatures ... and i had the deadline for the next Tabletop Insider 😉
Tank month
It took a few weeks but my order at Ainsty Castings arrived. I bought a couple of items, some monuments that will be perfect for almost every setting. A raft, that will a nice addendum for the German Marines i painted earlier, and for some Spec-Op Missions (Commandos etc.). The riverboat was a bargain, and is a nice piece of terrain and will be used for boarding and river settings. And the last part ... a tardis. Eventhough i am not a Dr. Who Fan (i think its just weird), but hey a tardis, ... why not?
Low Level Piracy
The tanks are organized? Check. So what next? Opening up some goodies that came in the post the last days.
What's first? Well Four A Miniatures delivered, i ordered Creature from the Black Lagoon and ALF. Casting looks good, everything went quick. /me happy.
2014 or Hetzers gonna hetz
Welcome to the new year and a rather bold start with some painted miniatures. Let's start with some terrain, i did first colors on the lovely Renedra Shed. It's amazing to see how good drybrushing works on these kits. That is just black primer with 3 different drybrushs (different colors for the roof and planks).
The Last of 2013
The last update in 2013. A last peak at the workbench. This won't be finished today, as we are preparing the evening programme. So what are we looking at in detail? A few Kickstarter Freebooter Miniatures are assembled, as you can see in the right picture. Further more there are the Anglo-Saxons for SAGA and a couple of kits for my Bolt Action motorpool.
Rowdd 2013, Pegasus Bridge and SAGA
Last Weekend I was in Thuringia, at Radaddels Wide Open Door Day. It was a fun weekend, again tabletop loaded. But this time not only as a customer / visitor. I held a seminar on the status quo of wargaming in Germany, and helped out Mantic and Warlord Games doing an Q&A. And i did some shopping, i stocked up on Freebooters Fate.
German Marines!
Buzy Sunday. After a couple of hours spended on office and house duty, i got back to my desk and did some progress on the open projects. I am currently preparing the Minairons Hispano Suiza for a review, and as you do with resin kits, i gave it a good wash. Beside that, i grabbed the brush once again and did some further painting.
Weekend Update … not with Seth Meyers
So here is the Weekend Update ... without Seth Meyers (you have to wait for Saturday Night for that one ... 😉 ). I did some painting. As you'll probably won't believe me and guess that i just have been basing some stuff, here are some pictures.
The German Marines are pretty close. I have to finish their faces, weapons and some details on the gear. But i like the camo and battle suit so far.
