What's on your painting desk/table/corner

[Mr. Average]

This week, I ar mostly been painting…

Quar Royalists.

[Whirlwind]

All very nice – like the Halberdiers above.

 

Which game are Quar Royalists from?

[kyoteblue]

Made a massive 1/700 ship buy for the WW2 pacific along with the GQ 3.3 Naval rules and Soloman’s campaign add-on.  So I’m building USN and IJN ships thou I’m having to scratch build the old flush deck 4 pipers along with the Atlanta.

1/700?  Is this Fletcher Pratt rules in a ballroom?

The Quar come from their own world in 6/15/28mm from Zombiesmith https://zombiesmith.com/quar/

Some of the rules / fluff are free but the skirmish set is based on Flying Lead (from Ganesha Games) so is chargeable but PDFs are available if you do not want the book.

Zombiesmith models have always been on the “strange critter” side of things – Patreon page.

But are great – Andrew Beasley

The project list, GInormous!

On the desk [aka computer and work desk], 25/28mm Napoleonics:-

1805 Russian Artillery foot company (CRM figs)

ditto Russian jaeger bn (Eureka in bicornes)

French- various ADC figs; various other commands, incl for the 10e Legere mounted officers; special corps customised figs; misc horses for same, and main demand, chasseurs of the 10e Legere (most of the elite companies and commands completed- two battalions).

Plus finalising Frnch, Russian and Austrian gun/ arty models that have lain dormant for a long while. All reaching the final touches…

On my desk are 12x28mm HYW archers..nearly finished and have been for a couple of weeks now.  That’s because my gaming has been 15mm ACW.  When not in sync one or the other always suffers with me.

Chickamauga tomorrow…can’t wait

 

There's 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary and those who don't.....

[Olaf Meys]

127 Vikings of assorted types, all assembled and on bases. Next up- undercoating and some basing compound to smooth out the puddle bases around their feet.

1/72 scale aircraft for Vietnam, mostly Hueys, a couple CH-34, a Skyraider, an OH-6, and an OV-10 (not pictured).

Tavern furniture this week, not very exciting I’m afraid.

Death to all fanatics!

[Thomaston]

Getting back into miniatures again. The usual too small to be practical 3mm skirmish.

Tired is enough.

[OotKust]

>>What’s on your –

I recently built, then modified, some 25mm minifigs© French 4 pounders, because:

-they’re not accurate, and

-I wanted to have a couple of something slightly different that can be used as the 1804/ ANXI model new 6 pounders- –

These are just placed in mock-up pose, but you can see the lower set are narrower than the originals (top) and I’ve moved the barrel trunnion positions. Biggest change is getting rid of the fake axle boxes that are there simply for the models!

I love it!  Are those prints or…? You know I’m into all things 3mm scale.

[kyoteblue]

Just finished my second scratch-built WW1/2 USN flush-deck Destroyer. I’m getting good at it.

[Mr. Average]

I cleaned up and prepped a 6mm scale Undead army. Lots and lots of skeletons!

[Thomaston]

They are 3D printes. The vehicles are from Thingyverse and scaled down to 55%.

Tired is enough.

Well frankly if people can push around half inch pieces of cardboard, I see no reason this can’t work as well! The dream of a genuine “pocket” miniatures game is within your grasp, if you have but the will to seize it! I’m finally getting in the direction of a 3D printer myself so I might undertake it as well.

My goal is to have a tiny travel wargame kit. At this scale measuring distance is a pain, it need gaming surfaces with grids or hexes.

Another idea I had the other day while taking the photo was to use these minis to display unit strength for boardgames 1″ counters or card games. In the photo they’re on an ID card. Boardgames should also be easier to solo.

That is a noble goal! I’d like to do something similar. In fact you have me looking over my spares box for some parts to try it myself – you might want to take a look at the game “Swatters.” It might suit the purpose nicely and also make measurement way easier since it has Ganesha Games’ typical Short/Medium/Long movement sticks.

My personal goal would be something on a 12” or 18” board. Possibly round boards. However, my travel size modular board with hexes works very well, and the concept is proven.

[Kitfox]

Sigh…more tavern furniture.

Death to all fanatics!

[Paint it Pink]

On my work bench…

Old RAFM Jager Gear converted to suit my Gate Walker setting. Magnetized head, arms, and torso. Got to add a bunch weapons: two shoulder mounts, and a hand carried autocannon.

[Olaf Meys]

So all trousers, tunics and footwear done, the chain hauberks and such all done. A few touch-ups on hands and faces, and leg-wrappings, then beards and helmets.

 

Oh, and I added a few more javelinmen Thralls- it’s 167 on there now!

Suitable for use in both WAB and Hail Caesar.

Got my 3rd Flush-deck 4 piper DD done working on number 4.

Full details here, but I have been rebasing some C17 Foot:

And some 15mm WW2 vehicles and infantry:

And some 6mm WW2:

And some 1/300 aircraft:

And some 6mm aircraft:

[Don Glewwe]

This week I’m continuing to chip away at putting landing gear on my 1/300 WW1 aircraft collection.  (The stock white metal stuff was deemed unusable and so left off at the time of construction over the past decade.)

Current models on my workbench having paint slapped on them.

As of SEPTEMBER- –

While I’m not proud of my lack of progress over the dull Winter days-

• the CRM Russian Artillery company (all 12 figures) got completed and based, albeit falsely using 6 pounders as the ‘heavy guns await.
• The 3/5th Jaeger have edged foward- given 7 new figures had to be brought along the trail… to complete the unit and deploy before November.
• The miscellany of French ADC’s and staff have also quietly crept along. None will get an early ‘mounting’ as such, but that leaves the actual ‘commanders’ to be individually worked on.
• The poor 10eme Legere… two years development and barely touched. [Add those revised cavalry ‘elites’ into the same category- the big 3 that mostly deserve attention I promised myself…].
• However, tinkering and sample painting on the ‘Allied’ forces when I’m ignoring the balance of the French isn’t good enough-   so I pulled out a 3/4s done battalion for the 1/108 de ligne (1800/ 1805- Davouts Corps) and with a game due in a week will get them completed and based by Sunday. All the fusiliers anyway including specialty ‘eclaireurs’; the elite companies for 1805 will be painted from scratch afterwards.

So, one could say there’s been a little action, but not a lot of progress- sounds like some of my historical life reviews… :~)

Not got any pics of shame at the moment, but a ridiculous backlog of stuff for Frostgrave, Stargrave and Flintloque are the primary parts of it.

This week, I ar mostly been painting… the Undead!

It being October already it seemed seasonally appropriate. And as I now have a nice, neat, clean and well organized studio space, I desire to take advantage of it, both for my comics and my games! So I got my Undead army off to a start with some Wights, both infantry and cavalry, and my goal is to paint up the whole Undead force by Halloween.  Let’s see if I can make it!

[Don Glewwe]

…a nice, neat, clean and well organized studio space…

Best get some of those troops set up to ward off the mess-imps that heard that claim and are working to spread chaos to the space! ; )

Hah! Actually I have it to where each project has a drawer and a removable tray, so if I change interests, I can put one away and take the other out. It finally works!

[Mike]

Nice,  I am prepping some 10mm undead for painting.

[Paint it Pink]

I’ve been adding tufts for my 15mm SF armies. Combat androids and power armor.

And aliens. Bugs Mr. Rico, bugs!
