Long time no see..

I's been a while since the last post,  mainly due to life in general, but also as I discovered that the blogger app didn't want to post my posts, though it said that the posts were posted. So I will do a little summary of the lost posts in this post;

I have begun to model some more in 1/35, and I intend to make a quite large diorama with the monstrous Karl Gerät along with a pz-IV and a wrecked t-34.
This is the first time I work with photo etched brass, not that I have avoided it, but anyhow.. it is a lot of it, and super many small pieces in the kit overall.

I have also started with Flames of War again as I discovered a lot of players in the next town, and I went for panzers!

Tiny green man

I got inspired by this guy who painted up some 15mm barbarians, and thought I should give 15mm sculpting a try.
It truly looks liek crap, especially his hands, and he is a tad too large. The sword is just a quick stand in, and I will make a better one later.
Though you should know that I made this one in very bad lightning friday night, without any measuring, scetching or anything else.

Once again blogger shines with it inability to rotate pictures..

Teutonic Knight Generals

Just finished my two command bases for my teutonic knights when they do battle in the world of Hail Caesar!

Long time no see...

Lack of inspiration, lots of important "real life" thingies and a minor alien abduction has put this blog on hold for a while. But here is a little update at last!

I got my greedy fingers on a very fine book, namely Hail Caesar from Warlord Games, and thus my favourite DBA armies are getting an overhaul with some fancy leaders for a starter, the pictures are quite bad, but the light is lousy today, and I want to get on with this blog unless it will slip back into coma again.
Anyhow, enter the ancient Germans:

They all fit in this extremely handy little box:

On the painting table is the leaders of my Teutonic Knights, and later my Marian Romans, but that army are still not painted so don't hold your breath.

Oh, and every serious(?) gamer needs a dice tower, right? Here is my, themed for warmachine, although you probably can't tell from this picture.

(sorry for the angle of the picture, blogger seems to be unable to show this the right way. Splendid blogger.)

Hmm, I hear a ship nearby...

70's djungle men

Look what I found, right there on my table! I'd better paint them soon or they will get violent..

The M48 is BIG, I am used to ww2 tanks in 15mm and did'nt expect it to be that huge to the men around it.
This is skytrex minis by the way, a m48, a m113a us squad and a pack of 25 NVA.

Kraut Reinforcements

Finished painting today, I really like the Hummel (looking heavy, Bruno!). The camera was in a bad mood today, so the pictures are not the best. I'll take the time to get a really good shot at my FOW's when I'll get my brother here with his kickass camera. Until then...

WIP Krauts

I have started on the last few models for my 2. SS-Panzerdivision Das Reich. I'm aiming at a 2000p tank company. This is just a few work in progress pictures (duh), the green stripes are missing and all the detail, and I plan to add some camo to the Hummel. So far I am happy and I think it will look really good when everything is finished.

Yep, the Hummel is really a Hornisse with a shortened barrel and the stand removed. Hooray for pliers!

Open bunkers

Just finished four open bunkers for my german SS. The bases are old student cards (credit card size) cut in half, the rest is styrofoam, filler and matches, no surprises there.

Tiny devils in red!

Here are the Red Devils to give my germans a hard time:

By the way, the germans I posted yesterday are all skytrex, while these brittish are battlefront brittish commandos.

Tiny germans

I just finished some 15mm german ww2 soldiers to use in Flying Lead from Ganesha Games.

I also added a flak gun to the warband, perhaps to use as an objective or something in a scenario.

Coming up is my brittish paras, to fight these germans!

Barbed Wire

It's been a while since my last post, but here I go again! My table is full of 99% finished things, and here is the first thing to enter the blog, some barbed wire for my Flames of War germans to hide behind:

The bases are 5x20 cm, and the wire is made from the tiny foil that is rolled around the thread on those silver threads you can find in textile shops.

The Germans are Coming!

I have just finished my german army for Flames of War, enjoy!

A thousand tiny men...

Well, not a thousand, but I just finished my Early germans last evening, and my Marian Romans arrived a few days ago and on top of all that I found an unpainted platoon for my SS Panzergrenadiers. So I have been paiting, painting and painting. It has been a while since I could take the time to paint so much, and it's been a really good week!
Here are the germans, with their sacred wood, and village camps, as well as the rest of the work in progress!

Stuff for Song of Blades and Heroes

Recently I stumbled across a wonderful game called Song of Blades and Heroes, really cheap to download, it is easy to learn, has an excel warband creator and is really fun to play. The fighting system is somewhat similar to DBA, and there are lot's of expansions and similar game systems. Check it out!

I bought some Corvus Belli miniatures and washers for bases and decided to make a few warbands themed around the Robin Hood story (and trolls!). Anyways, here are my three totally illegal warbands for SBH, the Knights:

And the Merry Men in Tights:

The angry farmers... no, not a warband, maybe objectives or trollfood, but not a warband.

And the smelly Trolls! (Prince August molds)

And of course some scratch built terrain to fight over:

The Teutonic Knights

Here are my newest DBA army, the teutonic knights, (IV/30) the models are from Mirliton:

And my scratch built camp:
