Painted miniatures, guides, final and work in progress pictures of painted miniatures
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, 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.
As well as Hind Commander I’ve been looking at a few of the other rule sets out there that can be used with 3mm. One that’s interested me is Modern Spearhead. While its intended as a 6mm rule set it works on bases that are 1 1/4″ square (30mm). This size base will work for 3mm as I can put 2-3 miniatures on the base to give more of a group feel. Each base in Spearhead represents roughly a platoon, so it should have around 5 tanks in it, but that will look like a car park. Before committing to anything I experimented with a few different configurations.
Not a huge amount of progress at the moment. It’s coming to a pretty busy period with a lot of work and also a lot of social activities. Both of these combine to mean not a lot of miniature progress. However I have some Dropzone Commander minis that I’m quite happy with.
The Destroyers are a race of cuddly teddy bears that the Scourge took over at one point and turned into massive, cuddly, weapons of destruction. I personally think they’re just misunderstood – not all 10′ tall creatures with guns in both hands, big teeth and scary eyes are dangerous. Anyway I’m quite happy with how they’ve come out: the bright colours of the weapons help to make them a bit more interesting than just grey and brown.
My 28mm WW2 Painting, has been going along at a rapid rate. This Blog has kept me motivated for the short term, I hope it will do the same for the long term. Of course because I only post here every 3-4 days, I am finishing stuff well before they get posted. So to catch up here is a round up of finished pieces.
