Next stop: Clyde

Hello all,

So the title is probably only funny (yes, I know it's lame!) to people living in countries that actually have a station called Clyde, but what the heck?

My first completed VSF mini "Clyde" from the Bonnie & Clyde blister by Lead Adventure Miniatures. A great figure and really fun to paint:

 

 

 

The coat is looking a bit dark in these pics ... it is a navy blue, but ever so slightly lighter than you see here.

My next mini will be Bonnie from the same set. Then I was thinking of trying the Expedition to Wonderland pack from LAM as well ... Bonnie & Clyde will lead a vampire hunt in Empire of the Dead (rules to be acquired) on a "dockside town" board Christian is working on. For Alice, though, I was thinking a diorama Tim Burton-style ...

Deserter ...

So, it turns out I found a spear-frog that had gone AWOL ... so my infantry has not been completed! *sigh*

I will endeavour to discipline (paint and base) this deserter over the weekend so I can get my photo done!

Leaps and bounds!

Okay, so our Anzac Day painting plans didn't end up going to plan ... I did get some painting done on my dwarf adventurers, though they are sadly lacking in skintone detail to date (really must get onto that!).

My froglets didn't get finished either, though the good news is that I finished basing them yesterday! While King Ribbidibit's float and the frog cannon are still being drafted, my froggy infantry are ready to march, led by the misleadingly delicate-looking Princess Romina.

Next project, Supercity! And really want to finish the Z scale train project we started about two years ago - I think we're seriously in need of a novelty coffee table in the lounge room!

Painting day!

Okay, the plan for today is to paint as many miniatures as possible! Don't know how we will fare with this challenge, but this is my plan:

- Finish highlights on a bunch of Eureka warrior frogs
- Base said frogs
- Finish details and base a group of dwarf adventurers
- Paint a few pulp figs
- Paint a couple of Lead Adventure VSF figs (Bonnie & Clyde)

Let's see how I go! Hopefully I will have some pics to put up soon!

Supercity

So, didn't get around the finishing any entries for LPL ... Alas, maybe next year.

But at least some progress on a new project ... My first real attempt at building terrain is just around the corner! In the pipeline is a 2'x2'(?)table for playing Supersystem. Thinking of having a futuristic theme (yay hover cars!) with a nod to the retro style buildings of Marvel comic fame.

This is the game plan (haha pun intended) below:

Maybe a cafe will go next to the news building, and maybe the "tall building" will become a basketball court.

Lead Painters League

Hi all, it's been a while since I posted anything!

Unfortunately other (non-painting) projects have kept me pretty busy lately, but seeing as I have a little time now I thought I'd enter the LPL this year! Good excuse to get me painting the seven thousand Eureka teddies and frogs I've purchased over the past year. Not to mention the three and two halves Warhammer/WH40K armies I have/have been acquiring! :-S

Planning on doing some old Citadel dwarves for my first round - a good bunch of dwarf "adventurers". Alas, no pics until after LPL begins ...

Anyway, pics of my first-ever fully based miniature coming soon! ('bout time too!)

Princess Romina!

Not too long ago, my partner in crime converted a Eureka warrior frog in response to my characteristic complaint of "how come there aren't any girl ones?"

Eureka loved it and are now casting the frog princess - Princess Romina!

Check her out at left! I think there is some fantastic detail in the conversion sculpting.

A-hunting we will go!

Two posts in one night! Just a couple of pics of one of my foot knights. Put together and modified for me by Christian. Check out the great pack on his back and the sculpted chain mail:

Thinking of attaching him to a unit of peasant bowmen and giving him the Virtue of Empathy ...

Wood Elves: Beginnings

Hi all,

Though my projects are nowhere near progessed as I'd hoped by now, I'm happy to report the beginnings of my Wood Elf army!

After what seemed an age of clipping bits off sprews, I managed to put together a bunch of Glade Guard, a Dryad and a Glade Rider champion.

See below for pics of said champion:

Apologies - not the best pics! Yet to name champion - oh yes, they will be named!

Hope to post some more pics soon. Would have posted Glade Guard but, sadly, they are still headless ...
