It was the last day of term today and the last Geek club for a while. I managed to get some painting done.,,
The one on the left is the latest one. I do like this range. which is why I went for another red panda.
A bit of Painting
Runt Rockers
One of my Geek club is leaving in a couple days to go onto the secondary school. As part of their leaving present I did these…
They are a fun little group.
Armoured Bear
Now to put things into context in gaming terms I am à wood elf player… dwarves… meh! But I have persevered and painted some for Mordheim. But to be honest I want a lot of these 🙂
Really like the bear heavy cavalry.
Sandbags
Lots of sandbags… luckily I didn’t have to fill them as these ones took just over 9 hours to print.
I will get the mortar printed tomorrow.
Jurassic Park Meets…
Geek Club.
Yes as our topic is dinosaurs then we will be painting some tomorrow…
Feeling Sheepish
Tonight I mainly worked on the mounted dwarf.
Still a bit to go, but getting further. The two rangers are just about done too.
I tripped over the dog tonight, grazed my elbow,s, split my knee open. Belted my head either on the stone wall or on the floor. Either way I am feeling sorry for myself.
Dwarf Rangers
This evening I did a bit more on the pair of rangers and a smidge on the mounted dwarf too.
They are nearly finished…
I have come up with a new game… it’s called ‘Guess the model from it’s supports’. Here is your starter for ten
Dwarf Rangers
Tonight I got kicked off the computer so I decided to paint something. The dwarf rangers were handy so they got some paint slapped on them…
Still a fair way to go, but more colour than white now.
Midnight in the Simmer Dim
So I let the dogs out for their last pee and realised that one again we have hit midnight with a light Sky!
Time for bed methinks!
Broken Arrow
This is the Vietnam War iteration of the term as opposed to the lost Nuclear Weapon version.
Now, in case you don’t know, Broken Arrow was a code phrase that meant that meant a unit or position was about to be overrun. When this was heard all aircraft in that area of operations would be scrambled to assist.
So if you remember I showed some Vietnam War engineers and sappers that I printed off… I printed off some more this week. The new ones were missed from the original set.
I started looking at them and an idea formed as I looked at them. How about using them in a diorama. I have a 60mm mortar so my idea is for a VC/NVA force to be overrunning an American position.
This will comprise the mortar pit and crew with a life and death struggle between the combatants.
I have also bought a new set of sandbags and another mortar as the new one has some mortar rounds both in a box and as individuals.
Now right now, I am quite keen to get this started. I am worried that if I don’t get started it will be like the battle of the five armies diorama… yeah that one that never got started, never mind finished.
