Thanks to the weather finally drying out I managed to get some things clear coated today… First we have the yearly Christmas mini I do for my son. A young dragon napping on its holiday hoard. This is a metal mini from Reaper. Some other Christmas minis the dragon will be joining… Also finished is […]

More sci-fi distractions…
So yeah, I have not been the most focused of late. In addition to trying to finish some holiday minis, I got sidetracked with the power armor which can be put to dual purposes and some Mon Calamari…. oh, and my first Core Space… First, a couple of old Wizards of the Coast Star Wars […]
Endzeit?
No, I am not quitting the blog… nor is it meant to be a clickbait post title. I just like the German term Endzeit better than Post-Apoc, End Times, End of Days, Ragnarok or Post-Apocalypse (which I usually spell incorrectly). I am a big fan of the genre and the Fallout games as part of […]
The faces of Legolas…
I just finished some reworking on the three Legolas models I did a few months back. First up, the GW plastic Legolas. Then a GW metal Legolas. And finally, a second GW metal Legolas. I had painted this one up to proxy as a generic Wood Elf and was going to repaint it to matchthe […]
Elves…but not Santa’s helpers…
So this weekend saw the completion of a few minis, some for our table and some destined for elsewhere. All those above are GW metal, and destined for our game world… but the Gil-Galad and Elrond going elsewhere, hence the black edging on their bases, are resin. Those for our table are all fresh paint […]
Numenoreans… in the Service of Sauron!
So I finally finished a bunch of Numenoreans that I have converted to Black Numenoreans. It was just a case of waiting for a dry enough day to clear coat them. It started with the test piece awhile back… He did get a bit of minor improvements when I was working on his colleagues. I […]
Should they stay or should they go…
These three miniatures were won as part of a larger auction and already painted pretty well. My wife was not a fan though so the plan was to put them on eBay. I tidied them up and rebased them, then listed them on eBay. As Chaos stuff seems pretty popular I thought they would go […]
Sci-fi distractions…
One of the agreements I made with my wife when I got back into the miniatures and tabletop gaming hobby last year is that we would focus on our Middle Earth project and not get distracted by the other genres I love… like post-apoc, Western Frontier, French and Indian War…and sci-fi. Somewhere I fell down […]
The faces of Stri… er I mean Aragorn…
Today we are looking at some Aragorns that I finished a couple of months ago. Three metal GW on the left and one plastic GW on the right. There are plenty of started projects on my work table. It is that time of year again where winter holiday decorations and gifts need to get done. […]
The faces of Gimli…
A few months back I finished a couple of Gimli miniatures. The left one is GW plastic, the right GW metal. I have at least one more GW version in metal I need to paint. And a Mithril version in metal that will likely end up just being a rank and file dwarf. Speaking of […]
