Land ohoy!

I thought it was about time to get another section to my gameboard finished so I can put down a full 6x4 feet table. Just another "basic" sektion would be rather boring so I decided that I needed some more water. Perfect for beach assault scenarios and the water does not take overhand so I guess it will work fine for regular games too.

I cut, cut, cut and made a total mess, but the result is quite worth it! I shaped some rocks and put in place as well as a green half bridge I got in a model kit, then added a lot of filler and a mix of white glue and sand. Now it's time to dry, but then it is just to paint and add grass and water!

 The blue lines is where I'll draw the water line.

I have added filler for the structure and the base paint, now I'ts just to find the white paint to finish them off!

Middle eastern buildings 1

As a junkie for new games I have been building a small force of USMC and a horde of random insurgents for the upcoming Force on Force by ambush alley games, and I naturally needed a few buildings as well. I recently got my greedy fingers on some superb foamboard, and cut and glued my way to a few buildings.

Now I will begin to add filler to the houses and then it's painting time! And as I can't keep to one thing at a time, I share the building with some general history dvd education:

Could this possibly have something to do with next project?

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!

Shermanizer!

I just finished my three shermans an half tracks, I am quite happy with the result and I think they got really similar in color and dirt, the stars are freehand, maybe I'll add more markings later. Yes, the firefly is brittish, but let's just say it's an "easy eight"!

 Now on to the PBI, I added a scope to the kneeling soldier's rifles, and made a new position to the commander's head (large base).

I also made a chocolate cake!

Big cat

Yes I know, I can't finish a project without starting three new ones...
I just started painting some ww2 models in 1/72 scale, the painting is nowhere finished, but here they are:
