A couple of other terrain pieces. These are contaminated areas hence the blue glow. Very simple: just some blue shades airbrushed onto MDF and water effect poured selectively onto the top.

Flaming tyres

I took a break from the War Wagon tonight and had a go at some post Apoc scenery. These are piles of burning tyres made by a German company called Stronghold Terrain. These are some smaller sections where I am experimenting with colours and there are some longer sections to follow. The models are still [...]

I’ve been singleminded about getting this monster of a model finished. Progress is slow but steady and in the pictures below the finished metals can be seen along with some progress on the skin tones. I would estimate this has taken about 15 hours so far and there are probably somewhere between 5 and 10 [...]

I’ve been working on the metals for my Trollkin War Wagon this week. I thought I might take a close-up of the money making stage. I’m not sure the iPhone camera is up to capturing the nuances of the colours but have given it a go anyway. After the previous stages this part of the [...]

I have made a bit of progress on the War Wagon over the last couple of days. The base has been constructed and basically painted, while the metals have had the first two stages of weathering and shading. The Trolls metals are quite interesting so I thought I might share how they are done. Firstly [...]

I’ve had these chaps on the painting table for a few weeks now. Progress has been slow and Eden distractions haven’t helped. They are nearly done now; just the metals and some base work to do.

Having fallen in love with the mad magician of the Joker faction, I had to make him some special exploding rabbit markers. A quick eBay search gave me the perfect model in the shape of Reaper Miniature’s Alice in Wonderland. Alice was put to one side and the rather diabolical looking March Hare took centre [...]

I put some paint on the post Apoc terrain tonight. I thought it would be a good idea to lay out the pieces and see if I have enough for the ‘Evening in Eden’ and for an Infinity table. The answer to the former is a yes. The picture below is a table and a [...]

Post Apoc terrain

I’ve had a bit more time than usual to indulge in the hobby this week. Opportunities like this are rare, so I like to do something a bit more ambitious than usual. There has been more interest in Eden at my local club recently, and even mention of a bit of Infinity. I’ve decided to [...]
