Last stages on this zug of M109 self propelled artillery with M113 Obs for the Bundeswehr forces currently on the painting table. Pick out the tools and stowed equipment then final matt varnishing.

There are Gepards, Leopard 2A5s and Marders are in different stages of camo painting along with Panzer Grenadiers. Lots to be getting on with. 

Cheers for now.

Moving forwards with the Bundeswehr M109 self propelled artillery for Team Yankee. Dry brush and gloss varnish at the next session then decals, oil wash and final matt varnishing. 

Simples, then to finish some infantry stands and Marder 1s. Nothing to it, save some Gepards, Leopard 2s and a few other AFVs. 

Cheers for now.

Some changing faces in the form of werewolves from different manufacturers. Plastics from Warlord Atlantic's, metals from Old Glory and 3D prints from Highlander Miniatures. Can you spot which is which?

No, well above is a Warlord Atlantic werewolf and below front centre and below front right are both from Old Glory.

The unpainted miniature is the first of three digitally printed figures from Highlander Miniatures. 

Finding that being involved in two different projects whilst challenging is helping to keep the black dog away. Ironic really, given the colour scheme for these pups.

Cheers for now.

Spent some time last night blocking the base colours for the first Panzergrenadier Zug. The figures are all from Battlefront and despite a bit of flash and mould lines here and there are generally good. 

The zug includes three Milan 1s, a Carl Gustav, and four teams armed with an assortment of G3 battle rifles and MG3 machine guns. 

Will be working a combination of these, Marder 1s and various fantasy figures over the next few days so there will be updates to follow. 

Cheers for now.

The last week has been busy with other things so as a result hobby time has lapsed as has blogging. So, it's time to get things back on track with some work in progress pics. 

With a first game of Kings of War beckoning thought it only right to spend some time on a character for the army. 

The necromancer was started a while back however, the skeletons rising from the earth are recent additions repurposed from damaged 3D prints. On the subject of 3D prints, here's the start of a few regiments of armoured zombies from Highlander Miniatures. 

It's not all the forces of darkness and death as there has been some progress on the M109 and M113 for the Bundeswehr forces for Team Yankee. Also in the foreground, there are two small objective markers for 15mm gaming in general. 

More to follow shortly as have some time set aside to bash on with these projects and others. 

Cheers for now.

In between base coating Bundeswehr armour in reflective green stole some time to add some colour to these little stingers

An assortment of anti-tank guns for D.A.K forces in 10mm. All from Pendraken with recon vehicles waiting to join them soon. 

Cheers for now

Back to the Brushes 409

A couple sessions base coating a few different AFV for the Team Yankee Bundeswehr.

M113 Observer and M109 Field Artillery zug

Have started the black gray camouflage pattern on the M113 observer vehicle and will continue on with M109s next.

Marder 1 zug

For the planned starter force only three Marders are needed however; it makes more sense to paint the full zug in the one go. 

Leopard 2A5 zug

Will update progress on these and a few other side projects shortly. 

Cheers for now
