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 I am wanting to play the Blood Moon mission for the Rangers Of The Shadowdeep game. It requires some specific buildings, a barn and a manor house within given dimensions. So I decided to build them The first is the barn. I modified the Dutch Barn from Dave Graffam Models, used as wallpaper on a black foamcore box, and redesigned the roof to be removable as well. I am very happy with how it has turned out.
I bought a batch of Quar from Zombiesmith . They are basically alien anteaters, with a WWI level of technology. My plan is to use them as the core of a Five Parsecs From Home campaign. On a whim, I got the medieval/bronze age Ehn'k'du as well. I was excited when I received him that he had a separate shield, which gave me a lot more customization options. My first thought was to use him in my Rangers Of The Shadow Deep warband, but as a Recruit, he would not have a shield at all. So here is Ehn'k'du the Recruit, sans shield (for now.) Ehn'k'du can be purchased here.
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...

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.
