Star Wars Legion has arrived
Fantasy Flight Games made us wait a little longer than we first hoped, but Star Wars Legion has finally arrived. Below are a couple of pictures of our first game, at 800 points. Most terrain is 3D printed.
Miniatures
Battletech goes green
I finally managed to get a company of Battlemechs in a new green paint scheme finished. The base color is Vallejo Medium Olive, highlighted with Olive Green and Golden Olive. I plan on repainting most of my non-Kurita ‘Mechs in this scheme, since the bright green looks much beter on […]
X-Wing repaints and modifications
While the miniatures for Fantasy Flight Games’ X-Wing game come prepainted (well), there’s always room for improvement. I’ve painted engine glow where appropriate, to make it look like those engines are actually powered up. Some people even do LED modifications on the larger ships! As shown elsewhere, I converted my […]
PAH-1
No German Cold War army is complete without a Panzerabwehrhubschrauber 1 for some air support. While Revell had offerings in 1/32 and 1/48 scale, the only 1/72 kit of the MBB Bo 105 is by Airfix and long out of production. Luckily, I managed to find one on ebay, complete […]
B-Wing modified
The only must-have ship in wave 3 of FFG’s X-Wing game was, to me, the B-Wing. I ordered one as soon as it was available, and it’s a cool-looking miniature and a nice addition to my Rebel fleet. I didn’t like the upright pose, though (the B-Wing is usually displayed […]
The Hot War is on!
My Hot War project has made considerable progress. US forces now consist of four M1 Abrams, two M3 Bradley, an M60A3 TTS, and several fireteams of infantry. West German forces are two Leopard 2 A4, two Marder 1 A2, a Fuchs, a MAN 7t gl, and 24 infantrymen. Both forces […]
Turning the Revell 1/72 Marder into the A2 version
Revell makes a nice 1/72 scale kit of the Marder 1 A3. Cold War gamers, however, are left out in the cold – they need the A1 or A2 version, both of which are visually quite different. It is however possible to modify the A3 kit to make it look […]
Mech painting tutorial
This is a tutorial illustrating how I paint my mechs. The first step is cleaning flash and moldlines off the miniature and basing it. I use bases made from airdrying modelling clay (Faber Efaplast Classic). An alternative that needs baking in the oven is Fimo. Applying primer is the second […]
More Vietnam
My 10mm Vietnam project is partly completed – all troops are painted. Terrain consists of a few hooches, some terrain features by TimeCast Models, and some home-made trees. Two test games using the Ambush Valley rules for Force on Force showed that 10mm works great for skirmish gaming. Future additions […]

LRRP
[lang_nl]Ik heb nu ook de rest van mijn SHQ LRRP soldaten af.

Als Referenz für das Tiger Stripe Tarnschema habe ich diese Seite benützt.[/lang_de] [lang_en]I have completed my […]
Een beetje van alles | Von allem ein bißchen | A little bit of everything
[lang_nl]Een paar foto’s van miniaturen die ik de laatste weken geschilderd heb: Phantom Mech van de Clan Wolf Alpha Galaxy. Dit is misschien mijn laatste mech in deze kleurstelling. Ik heb nog een Marauder IIC staan, maar weet nog niet precies wat ik ermee wil doen. Long Fang Black Mamba. […]
