Moving slowly forward with the first zug of Leopard 1s for Team Yankee after finishing the blocking in the three colour  N.A.T.O camouflage pattern

The next steps whilst prepping the Marder 1s will be:

• Wash with dark tone the tracks
• Over paint tracks with flat earth
• Gloss varnish the hull and turrets
• Apply decals
• Dry brush with Iraqi Sand
• Apply and remove oil washes
• Finish with Matt varnish

Starting with the second colour - black gray - of the N.A.T.O three colour camo scheme for the Leopard 1s

Will get the last two blocked later tonight then on to the flat earth tomorrow. 

The templates that are being used as the basis for the camo patterns are here

Cheers for now

Fresh start for 2026. 

That is the base coat of Vallejo Reflective Green down on this zug of Leopard 1s for Team Yankee

This is the start of a Bundeswehr force for Cold War games around either the Team Yankee or Centag rule systems. 

The rumble in the background shows the bits and pieces of two catapults for the Undead in Kings of War. So far, there has been more swearing than flying on these as there were no assemble instructions provided with these digital prints. 

Cheers for now.

Happy New Year!

Wishing you hope, peace and good health in the coming months

Cheers for now

Shambling hordes of undeath coming this way across the dark nights of winter cold 

Rebasing from 25mm hex bases to 25mm rounds to enable more generic use in skirmish gaming and easier sabot basing as shown. 

The sabot tray from Warbases is sized for a Kings of War Horde and holds 17 figures. 

Hoping to find time in between the festive period to finish the sabot and individual bases off. 

Cheers for now

Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge XVI

Winter has arrived and the prep for this year's Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge is ongoing. 

Plato once said that;

“A good decision is based on knowledge and not on numbers."  

So, with that in mind this tear there is no set list of figures to paint just the knowledge that there are many to paint.  

Painting comes from flow and the lists are proving to be restrictive with that so out with the old way and on to the new way and let's see what it creates.

Cheers for now

Pax Britannia 1

The legends that surround events in Britain after the Legions left are many and varied. 

Whilst not the first figures completed for this army, they are the first to be photographed as such. They are also the only two stands of light cavalry in the army.

The figures are from the War and Empire range from Forged in Battle. 

Also shown is the first command stand including a Christian priest and suitably imposing equites as the main figure.

There will be light infantry coming soon once the flocking is done. 

Cheers for now.
