Year of Painting

01/05/202420/12/2014 by floppy

My Year of painting has been pretty disrupted, a Trip back to Australia in March that ended up being 6 weeks, took pretty much all the wind out of my sails. I really didn’t get painting again until I started this blog. I was lacking some motivation, and really this blog provided me with goals that I should keep to. I find deadlines always help me get stuff finished.

Year of Painting 1

The Blog it’s self is a really good tool for me to get my work out there, I enjoy painting, and so I can show off to a wider community, I hope that I am producing some good work for people to look at. If there is anything people want me to explain more drop me a message, I know my writing is not the best I am also working on that, It is good to get back in to working on some weakness that I have.

So on too what I have completed, what misses, what hit’s and what I am looking forward to

DAK Infantry Squads

The DAK Infantry Squads are finally complete. I needed a lot of motivation to finish these two but they are done. It is not like they were not nice to paint, they are Perry Mini’s it is just I really lacked the want to finish them.

I am very lucky to know some amazing former US Marines, some of which server on Sea Kings and later on V-22 Osprey’s. So in an Ode to them I have painted up an ultra Modern Marine force for Hind Commander. I have completed the air part of the task force, the ground part of the task force is next.

Painting the Rubicon Models Panzer III

Painting the Rubicon Models Panzer III, has been pretty easy, the model it’s self was a pleasure to put together and painting is no different.

I am going to go through the process I use to paint tanks and some other larger models, I do use a Modulation Style to begin with. Then I will get into the details.

Rubicon Models Panzer III arrived on my desk a short while ago. I have been keen to see how these go together, for my DAK force some Panzer III’s are always welcome. There is a lot of very happy people out in the community raving about these models. Now that I have received my order I can get to and put it together.

Land of the Free

20/07/201923/11/2014 by floppy

Land of the Free wars from 1754 until 1815 in North America, I have looked forward to Land of the Free since I got told about this rule set coming out a while ago. I have a soft spot for all things colonial. Back home I would love a decent set of ideas for the Eureka Stockade (1854). So the wars between France and England in North America leading into the War of 1812, even the war against Mexico hold a lot of interest for me, the Rule set of Land of the Free does cover the period from 1754 until 1815 in North America.
