Old models

When visiting my parents for x-mas, I managed to rob my father of some old plastic kits, a flogger and an old truck, I even found an old Havoc heli I got when I was a kid. All in 1/72!

While still painting the challenger I assembled the flogger and the truck, it took a lot less time than the challenger!

So, here they are, awaiting paint.

Challenger 2

For x-mas my lovley fiancé got me a Trumpeter kit of the british mbt challenger 2, iraqi equipped and in 1/35! That is the biggest scale I have ever built a military model in. I liked how much more details there is in this scale.

With some paint, decals and a bit of sand on the base it will look quite good!

Merry Christmas, with a twist!

I got my brother to use his photoshop-fu on my x-mas tank in between his more pressing tasks, enjoy:

Merry Christmas!

Sorry for the long time of a big nothing! If you want to kill all inspiration and joy of hobbying, just get yourself to a University!

Now, I have started on quite a few thiny things, but today I will show you the amazing X-mas Tank!

 

Happy modelling holidays everyone!

The BIG book!

Yep, got it today, #293 of only 1000 copies hardbound in real fake leather, what's not to like? It's the limited edition of Total Warfare, the big book of Battletech rules.

Of course one can't get a book without models, so I got a bag of plastic bases and two of my favourite mech's, the vulture got a little reposing of the right leg.

 Mad Cat and Vulture, in a handy 1/300 scale!

 Comparsion of my clixy 15mm variant, it's almost as detailed though!

I must mention that this was my first purchase from ral-partha and as a new customer I get a 10% discount code, which I didn't use this time (bigger order in the future perhaps..?), but in the package they had put a reminder note to me so I wouldn't forget about it! How many retailers do that? =)

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..

Mechwarrior tanks

Well, I have finished the bases for the rest of the mechs, and while that pasty vallejo stuff dried I touched up some thanks, these turned out rather good!

And a little preview of my very own Mad Cat, I will do a total repaint of this one, not just enhancing the paintscheme from the prepaint. After all, this "beauty" deserves a little more love than just a regular paintsplash.
