Panther Ausf. A - Warlord Games - WGB-WM-136

Hello everyone

It has been quite a while since I posted anything to this blog, but sadly I don't really paint a lot of historical miniatures at the moment. But recently I just wanted a nice and simple side project while working on something else, so I decided to paint this Panther that had been sitting on my shelf for years.

It's one of the old resin/metal kits from Warlord Games and it was just a joy to paint. I had a few years ago given most of my "historical tanks" paints away at my local club since I wasn't using them, so it was quite interesting having to mix everything to get something resembling the proper colours.

The camo pattern is done with freehand airbrushing, so overall this tank took no time to get done.

Anyway here are a few more pictures.

 This project really made me want to play some more Bolt Action, so should probably get on that :-D

Until next time

Germany - Waffen SS - Bolt Action - Warlord Games

Hello everyone!

A good friend of mine has been pestering me about painting the rest of my Bolt Action stuff for a very long time now, so I decided now was the time to paint the last 21 infantry models I had laying around and was planning to use in play.

The experience of batch painting 21 models which had to have Oakleaf and peadot camouflage on most of their uniforms was not a pleasant one, and more than once I was very close to losing my mind :-p

But now they are done! and I managed to take a few army shots.

Still have a Panther, a Hanomag halftrack to paint, but that will be for future projects.

Here are a few more pictures.

Tiger I - Warlord Games - WGB-WM-123

Hello everyone!

It's been a while since I posted an update on this blog, so I thought I'd better take some pictures of my Bolt Action Tiger I from Warlord Games which I finished a few months ago (Just never got around to taking pictures before now...).

It was very fun to paint a larger tank for a change, and 1/56 is actually a quite nice scale to work with. The model was pretty great and fit together nicely even though it mainly consists of 4 large pieces of resin and the detail is superb. Coming from having primarily painting 1/100 scale tanks it was also a little challenging, but the overall techniques are exactly the same as when I paint the smaller vehicles.

Sadly I had to rush it to completion, so there wasn't time for pigments and stuff like that, I just had to many other projects that needed my attention. Still turned out nice though :-p

Painting mainly with Ammo of Mig acrylics and washes.

That's it for now, hope you like it :)

Bolt Action - Test Figures - Update

Hello everyone

Just a quick update on my Bolt Action test project. Not much to say other than these figures was very enjoyable to paint, so much detail in this scale.

Anyway here's a few more pictures.

Test Figures for German Bolt Action Army

 Hello everyone

As yet another side project I decided to start painting a few figures for my own Bolt Action Army (German of course), just to get a feel for the figure size and colors I'm going to use.

So far I've finished a single Waffen-SS Grenadier armed with a STG44 and my commander figure is also slowly getting there :)

Here's a few more shots, I'm sorry about the quality but it is a lot harder to take pictures of infantry than big tanks :-D

Also since it has been a while since I've posted pictures of my Bolt Action Tiger...

It's pretty much ready for some weathering and I'm quite pleased with how it looks so far !



That's it for now, hopefully more updates soon (or Check out the facebook pages for more WIP pictures)

Small US Army - Bolt Action - Warlord Games - D-Day Firefight & Armored Fury

Greetings everyone!

So a friend of mine bought some Bolt Action (D-Day Firefight and Armored Fury), and he needed someone to play with so I decided to try it out, German army naturally :-p

For starters we decided to paint up the US forces so we could use them for training and learning the game. Nothing special, just a nice tabletop standard.

We painted the infantry in a day (Still need to assemble a few more though) and I Volunteered to take the Shermans home and spice them up a bit, again nothing special, just good Tabletop standard.

I have a few Flames of War projects I need to finish and then I will probably start painting my Waffen-SS Bolt Action Army, at least some of it, still have a lot of FoW stuff that needs paint...

Anyway pictures, not the greatest, really difficult to take pictures of infantry...
