Thuseld's 6mm Journey

[Thuseld]

I like The Gup. And this hunk of junk is 100% held together with string and sellotape.

That’s an excellent ship, suitably grungy and worn.

The Gup seems like a fine name!

Eventhough I can guess what it’s made from, it’s the paint job that really bring it to life.

Iliada Game Studios up on the blog.

I completed a few projects this week. Iliada Game Studios stuff is great.

Thanks for the words. I look forward to actually getting them on the table soon. I am trying to work out some kind of regular game schedule to try and follow.

This is coming along quite nicely.  Good and grimy, just how it should be.  Thumbs up!

Another Junk Build is up on the blog. This is step one, now to prime and paint. I think I have enough miniatures for now (lol).

You guys are just utterly evil, constantly tempting me to dive into a new scale/size!  🙂

Introducing the gang. I only have one character back story ready, but am working on the others. Any ideas welcome. http://inexperiencedmodelmaker.blogspot.co.uk/2017/08/new-starport-scum-characters.html

Who produces/sells these figures now?

Thanks

Cacique Caribe, they are sold by CP Models now.

Here is the sniper figure.

The others are here. I have bought the whole pack, and then a few extras. Originally I think they were special edition until the moulds wore out, but now that CP Models sell them, they might just keep them going.

I mean, you know you want to get into 6mm sci fi skirmishing.

Yup that was my original plan, not sure what Mark’s plans are TBH.

They are still by far my favourite 6mm miniatures, so thank you for bringing them into the world.

How did you get scatter to pile up like that? Looks useful for 6mm haystacks.

[Thuseld]

I just stuck a blob of Greenstuff down, and then pressed “sprues” of 6mm infantry onto it randomly.

That is perfect.  Wow, that one-of-each set looks very tempting!

Thanks so much.

Iliada Game Studios up on the blog. I finished these two oil rigs? I don’t know what they are called really.

Nodding Donkey?

Derrick?

pretty cool though.

[Thuseld]

Oil Derrick. Sure. I am getting Red Alert 2 memories flooding back to me now.

Nodding donkey or pump jack.

 

A derrick is the low tower like structure which would hold the drilling equipment and allow additional lengths of pipe to be fitted for increasing well depth.

[Thuseld]

Blog Update. I just completed a bunch of tough looking troops. Maybe they should be tangling with a Predator.

Grav Train. And some trees. My next Five Parsecs mission is going to take place in a forest area.

I like the dinosaur. That’s a great idea. I might have to pinch that for one of my low tech forces in Hellfire I am creating.

A finally finished project. Time to get some more stuff built and painted over the Christmas break.

Any progress is good progress, and you’ve made some good progress.  Keep it coming!

"I saw this in a cartoon once, but I'm pretty sure I can do it..."

[Thuseld]

More Progress. Just clearing my backlog of unfinished things. A couple of generic APCs or command vehicles, or local militia/gang/law enforcement support.

Other things Sci Fi:

1. A selection of infantry stands that I bought over at Iliada Studios. Primed and need painting.

2. Three “command” or “leader” figures for use in Five Parsecs or other such games. Need to paint their gear, then wash, highlight, flock.

3. A bunker of some kind. It is very simple, but I just need to add foliage for camouflage.

4. A junk build space craft. I have two colours on it, I might just wash it and see what happens.

Here is another long stalled project. I have not had a productive month, lots going on outside of the hobby. So actually, it has been a productive month. Here is my finally finished project, having not picked up a brush all month.

Reminds me of the Project transport airships from Warzone 2100.

[Thuseld]

More buildings and terrain. A productive evening. Probably the last chance before Easter hits. I will be painting my lounge over Easter, so may not be as productive in hobby time as I would have hoped. These are just a few more things to bring life to my table.

Thanks you crazy old space wizard. Next on the docket is another spacecraft, this time the hulk base is a large shampoo bottle. Seeing what happens.

A Billion Suns meets clothes pegs. Anyone else on the FB group Super Cheap Wargaming? Lots of interesting inspiration there. Clothes pegs starships has been a bit of a craze, so I am jumping on board.

It’s a group I follow, because there are just so many good ideas, as well as being a fun and friendly group. I’ve not done clothes peg ships yet but that’s just because I don’t need ships yet 🙂

Here is the fleet so far. They look good when painted. Off to design and build more.
