Ok, so I'm running a bit behind on the 'Tale of Gamers' project.
<br /><br />I've managed to get some of the base colours done. (horns, blades, skin)
<br />My shifts at work are all over the place at the moment, so it's difficult to find time when I'm not eye-tired.
<br />(or when the missus or my daughter aren't demanding quality time, which is fair enough)
<br />Though on the flip side I've painted more of a regiment in the last month than I've managed since the late 90's...

undercoated, and shhh.. Cleaned/based the Bloodthirster not actually
involved in this challenge)<br />
I'm not fast, nor do I have loads of time. Though I'll try to keep up.<br />
Goal is to have this lot painted by the end of the month, and the next regiment prepped.<br />
I've saved you from my messy workspace with a piece of cunningly placed paper.<br />

I'm not sure I used enough Skulls.<br />
<br />
Also I'm going to cheat with the standards. Using modern banners, and toppers.<br />

A kinda AAR because I didn't have the camera out all through the game. <br />
Photos are a little dark, due to the lighting in the hall not being the best for taking pictures.<br />
<br />
SS vs US Airborne, the Americans held a small village and ordered to hold control of the Crossroads and T junction. The Germans attempt to push them out.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd164/Hedwerx/ww2%20bolt%20action/Bolt_Action_Game005.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd164/Hedwerx/ww2%20bolt%20action/Bolt_Action_Game005.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
2 squads of SS and a Panzerschreck came in from the far side of the table, while a Mortar, HMG and one squad with attached Untersturmführer came in from the near side.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd164/Hedwerx/ww2%20bolt%20action/Bolt_Action_Game003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd164/Hedwerx/ww2%20bolt%20action/Bolt_Action_Game003.jpg" /></a></div>

<br />
The Americans opted to hold the three most central buildings in the village. With three squads, a Mortar, MMG, Medic, and Bazooka team.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd164/Hedwerx/ww2%20bolt%20action/Bolt_Action_Game004.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd164/Hedwerx/ww2%20bolt%20action/Bolt_Action_Game004.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
The HMG and spotter set up in a building overlooking the main road through the village, while the mortar deployed in the courtyard. <br />
The HMG put up a decent show throwing some pins out at a squad of Airborne in the grey/brown building and drawing some fire from the US MMG in return.<br />
The Mortar managed to miss every shot in the game despite accuracy increasing every round of fire.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd164/Hedwerx/ww2%20bolt%20action/Bolt_Action_Game001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd164/Hedwerx/ww2%20bolt%20action/Bolt_Action_Game001.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
The Lone SS squad, after moving through the cover of some fields, attempt to remove the American mortar from the fight. <br />
Gaining a pin and losing one man to rifle fire, from an ambushing Airborne squad, in the attempt.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd164/Hedwerx/ww2%20bolt%20action/Bolt_Action_Game006.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd164/Hedwerx/ww2%20bolt%20action/Bolt_Action_Game006.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
More Germans move up under the cover of empty buildings. Towards the T junction.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd164/Hedwerx/ww2%20bolt%20action/Bolt_Action_Game010.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd164/Hedwerx/ww2%20bolt%20action/Bolt_Action_Game010.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
They take heavy losses on one unit and a second moves in to fill the gap, while the Panzerschreck (out of shot) gives covering fire into 'La Maison Verte'.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd164/Hedwerx/ww2%20bolt%20action/Bolt_Action_Game009.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd164/Hedwerx/ww2%20bolt%20action/Bolt_Action_Game009.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
After pushing the Mortar back into the building, the lone SS squad moves up to assault, away from the Airborne MMG's field of fire.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd164/Hedwerx/ww2%20bolt%20action/Bolt_Action_Game011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd164/Hedwerx/ww2%20bolt%20action/Bolt_Action_Game011.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
After two turns both the Mortar and MMG have been assaulted and destroyed by overwhelming numbers.<br />
A second squad of SS link up and prepare to move into the adjoining building.<br />
<br />
At this point we wrapped the game up, as it was time to go home. It was agreed a German win, as the Airborne were cut off from the junctions, and had taken losses at both ends of the village.<br />
Losing a MMG, Mortar, the squad holding the Grey/brown building had lost a man or two to machine gun fire, and the unit holding 'La Maison Verte' had been hit hard by the Panzerschreck. While the Germans had lost one HMG crew member, the loader for the PZSchreck and around 8 men across the squads.<br />
<br />
A good game overall even if there was some confusion caused by a new ruleset. Nice to see the figures I'd painted for another member get an outing. <br />
The buildings My Dad from <a href="http://www.bognormodels.co.uk/index.asp" target="_blank">Bognor Models</a> built for Barry, helped make the game more interesting I think. FIBUA is always more fun than slogging it out over a field. :DHedwerxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08266503897725795243noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8156484328884506563.post-33615078210058518582013-08-10T13:29:00.000+01:002013-08-10T13:29:01.915+01:00Even more commission SSSome figures painted for a member of the Bognor club.
I think I've got some weapons teams next, then I'm onto US Airborne, Brits, US Marines, and Japanese.
Gets me some pocket money, though My own figures aren't getting much of a look in.<br />

Are perfect for cleaning paint brushes. The detergent in the wipe picks up paint residue and removes it from the brush. All you have to do is squeegie the fluid through the bristles, and it cleans and conditions the brush tip..

I've got a set of British Army tommies to paint in 28mm too :)<br />
I'll be changing a few things here. Finished stuff only, and a possible merge with my other blog.

So quick and easy to put together. :)<br />
These carts are made by <a href="http://www.4ground.co.uk/">http://www.4ground.co.uk/ </a><br />
<br />
<img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd164/Hedwerx/wars%20of%20the%20roses/carts017.jpg" />
<img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd164/Hedwerx/wars%20of%20the%20roses/carts018.jpg" /><br />
<br />
Once I've put them together (with superglue), I like to give them a wash of PVA to create a sealed layer.<br />
Generally I've been keeping them in groups of parts, to make painting easier.<br />
This literally took 1/2 an hour to build. With some oxen from Perry miniatures (best VFM IMO), it would look the business.<br />
<br />
<img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd164/Hedwerx/wars%20of%20the%20roses/carts022.jpg" /><br />
<br />
Here's another oxcart I've been working on. The cover is made out of Rizlas (cigarette papers) soaked in PVA water.<br />
<br />

<br />
The only problem I've had so far is the wheel rims are very fragile on the smaller cart, and could do with being moved in 1/2 a mm or so.<br />
Other than that small gripe, the models are very well designed. The tolerance of the cut is fantastic, with most pieces fitting with friction alone.<br />
The glue is almost an afterthought.Hedwerxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08266503897725795243noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8156484328884506563.post-19512584551384189382012-03-24T14:17:00.000+00:002012-03-24T14:17:02.096+00:00Solar Lions Captain<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Its almost finished, here is a sneak peek.<br />

<img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd164/Hedwerx/Fantasy/toad%20warrior/ToadWarrior026.jpg" /><br />
<br />
<br />
Stiffened with watered down pva, and coated with wall filler, the foam is now rock solid.<br />
<br />
<br />
<img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd164/Hedwerx/Fantasy/toad%20warrior/ToadWarrior028.jpg" /><br />
<br />
Added more to the base, the first layer of soil.<br />
I’ve sealed and washed the wood to darken it. <br />
I also built up around the log with acrylic resin, which will take the heat of the fake water I’ll be adding
later.<br />
<br />
<img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd164/Hedwerx/Fantasy/toad%20warrior/ToadWarrior032.jpg" /><br />
<br />
I made the dead colonialist out of a stripped undead warrior.<br />
One from the old old Skeleton army box, I bought it when I was 11 I think. I added a helmet from the Perry WotR box.<br />

<br />
Puttied the gaps in the arms, I also added some detail over the join.<br />

Here with the colours mostly finalised.<br />
<br />
After its first wash:<br />

<br />
<img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd164/Hedwerx/Fantasy/toad%20warrior/ToadWarrior025.jpg" /><br />
<br />
I’ve added extra details in the form of a headfeather and loincloth.<br />
The feather is from a Perry Minis Mercenaries boxed set, and the loincloth itself is made from a tomato puree tube.<br />
I’ll wait and see if anyone spots where the 1/3 and 1/8 circular parts are from.<br />
<br />
The scheme is based on a real toad, the Oriental Fire Bellied Toad.<br />
<img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd164/Hedwerx/Fantasy/toad%20warrior/oriental-fire-bellied-toad.jpg" /><br />
I still need to do the black bits.<br />
<br />
I chose copper for the metal because its a nice warm colour, it goes
well with the main colours of the toad, his headfeather will be a bright
purple to white fade.<br />
<br />
I probably won’t get this finished in time, but I’m going to finish it anyway.<br />
Mostly due to having big plans for the base, I don’t want to rush it.Hedwerxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08266503897725795243noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8156484328884506563.post-58791190774026559862011-10-12T18:07:00.000+01:002011-10-12T18:07:43.963+01:00Bow October Painting Competition<b>Greenskin:</b><br />
<br />
My entry to the Oct painting comp.<br />
<img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd164/Hedwerx/Fantasy/toad%20warrior/ToadWarrior004.jpg" /><br />
I need to replace some bits, fill in some gaps, and add some extra detail.<br />
<br />
Also I’m going to be making a custom base<br />
<br />
<b>Primed after a bit of cleaning.</b><br />
<br />
I’ve got rid of the flash, also filled in some miscast parts.<br />
Gives a better look at the model, I think. I have a colour scheme in mind, but I think I’ll keep it to myself.<br />
<img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd164/Hedwerx/Fantasy/toad%20warrior/ToadWarrior008.jpg" /><br />
<img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd164/Hedwerx/Fantasy/toad%20warrior/ToadWarrior009.jpg" /><br />
The arm muscles didn’t meet up properly under the bangles cast in the arm joins.<br />
So I cut them away and pinned them further apart, I’ll sculpt some new ones in.<br />
Also the rear leg is too fat for its socket, that has been sanded down and mounted with a gap.<br />
The front leg meets better, I should only have to redefine a muscle or two.<br />
<br />
All the gaps were filled with MMD putty, basically ‘like’ the Vallejo and GW paste putties out now, but cheaper per gram.<br />
I started using it on scale kits, now I couldn’t do without it.<br />
<br />
In addition to the resculpted areas, I’m also planning on adding a
bit of extra tribal jewellery, feathers, and a couple of other details
to make this more of a personal model.<br />
This is purely for display, so I can go all out with the details.
