Or at least it is over at Dead Dick's Tavern And Temporary Lodging. So as it turns out, this coincided with me ainting my wife's Frost Giantess from Reaper Bones.
That's a sweet-looking giantess! I really like the light color palette...and the blue really ties it all together. Nice work! I have a feeling it won't be the only giant painted this month, but we'll have to see...
OK, so a while back I bought a Matchbox car of a 1974 Volkswagen Thing for a dollar, just to see if it was the right size to be a Kubelwagen for background scenery in 28mm WWII gaming. I measured it, and it is 1:58 scale while 28mm is normally considered 1:56 scale (thank you, Warlord Games for standardizing this!) So, close enough for a scenic item, am I right? I know the front end is all wrong, but it should be fine for a bit of background color. It took me a couple of hours to get painted, but I think it turned out well. I need to acquire some decals at some point, and get the windshield frame painted (my hands are too shaky tonight to fo that.) Maybe steal a matching wheel from another toy car to throw on the hood as a spare. But it's finished enough for now. My DAK infantry models are from Artizan Designs, but are still unpainted. Instead, I have a British soldier from the same range shown for scale. The vehicle looks the right dize, with the top of the door being just a
I have completed another 20 pieces of "Temperate Forest" terrain for 28mm wargaming. I have used a variety of materials, from unflocked Christmas Village trees to product ordered from overseas to aquarium plants to stuff found in Ikea and second stores. It's nice to be finally done with all of these, I feel like I have been collecting this stuff for over 15 years now (which is true, I bought some of the trees while I was managing at Dollar Tree.) These are the terrain stands I completed today. And here is all of the Temperate Forest together. As I play on a 3'x3' game board. this gives me enough to cover pretty much the entire thing. If I leave some open areas, I can run multiple scenarios have different combinations of forest stands every time. Thank you for reading!

ReplyDeleteThat is a cracking bit of painting, I bet your wife is over the moon with it!
ReplyDeleteHow big is she? it would have been nice to have had a 28mm figure for scale.
Cheers Roger.
Very cool model, and great paint job. I'm curious, too, as the the height and heft compared to a 28mm model.
