Moving and cooking

A short update for the summer time. You've seen the coverage on reviews and some recent travels like Salute or the Burg Stahleck.

I've been busy preparing my move in a few weeks. I am trading in this view from my desk in the Chaosbunker.

Rubicon Models M8 Scott

Plastic is more and more present in wargaming, and with the popularity of the setting and scale, it is no wonder that companies like Rubicon keep releasing new kits. This time, i'll be covering the M8 Scott / M5A1.

Heer46 Panther F Schmalturm

As Heer46 announced, that they will expand their range from 15mm / 1:100 into the 28mm / 1:56 scale, i was really, really excited. After the SdKfz 247b, one of the latest novelties is the Panther F Schmalturm.

Maelstrom’s Edge Epirian Handler

This short review of Maelstrom's Edge Epirian Handlers is a bit spontaneous, as it was part of the Salute 2016 gift bag, and i thought it might be a nice idea, to share it with you.

The game itself is a sci-fi tabletop wargame, with 20-30 miniatures per side, and offers a starter set with plastic miniatures for the Epirian and Karist factions. The starter set Battle for Zycanthus is 89 USD, and the sprue i am assembling in this article is 7,49 USD for 2 miniatures.

Bergepanzer and Sherman ARV

Model builders in 1:35 or other scales have a lot of options and conversion kits to chose from, something that is rather rare in 1:56 / 28mm. After looking for it for a while now, I found a few kits and sets at S&S model shop.

The kits work with plastic kits from Rubicon or Warlord Games, and I bought a few sets, among them an ARV set for a sherman and the Bergepanzer III set for a PzKpfw III.

Tablet-top

I got myself a tablet early last year and there are a couple of different reasons why you maybe want one for yourself. But with wargaming / tabletop, there are so many interesting opportunities to use a tablet for.
