Above are Wargames Factory Zombies, A few with minor conversions, the cops belts are made with Green Stuff putty. I carved off the shorts for the nude guy, and added the beards and hair for the street bums. I LOVE Wargames factory zombies.

TINY TINY SHIPS

A new project, ww2 Naval Pacific using "Naval Thunder" rules and figurehead 1/6000 scale ships. YES, 1/6000.......when I first opened the box I really wasnt ready for just how small they were. I spent several days looking at them thinking "how am I going to paint something SOOOO tiny. Eventually I dove in and found them really a breeze. Japanese Destroyers below:Here are Japanese Heavy Cruisers, The numbers are just for reference during the game and are not historical.
On the backs I printed the ships name and class to make things easier.


Here are some USN Cruisers, their numbers are historical


Did the same with them, number, name, class


I Have almost all the cruisers and destroyers needed to fight the early actions in the pacific, and plan to keep going with this one.




Native Warriors

Another side project, The French And Indian War, All the figures are either Perry Miniatures or Conquest Miniatures, both excellent miniatures. This one is slow going because all the Indians (Im so non-PC) have to be individuals, and all the war-paint beadwork is a pain to paint.


RCW Infantry

Christmas 2009 Ii started a Russian Civil War project, all the figures are Copplestone Castings which are excellant sculpts, Here are 2 pics of Reds, bases unfinished

Next a White unit, I modeled these as the Officers Company of the Kornilov Regt. For you purests out there I KNOW they probably were never this uniform until in exile in Greece after the war...but come on, the uniform is to cool NOT to paint.




I learned later that a company makes little decals for the blue arm patch, AFTER I had hand painted all the boogers.


Much more to come with this project.





Spanish Civil War

A side project of mine, The Spanish Civil War, here are 2 pics of Anarchist militia circa 1939.


I have Spanish Foreign Legion, Morrocans and Falange but havnt painted them lately, these fellows havnt even had their bases finished yet because Im unsure if I want to do the stands for urban combat. The figures are all Anglian or Force of Arms 28mm.



The Natives

And now the natives, most are Ral Partha, with a few Frontier(impossible to get nowdays) and some Old Glory with the bases removed and necks shortened...theyll be the really fat guys.

Fist the Fuzzy Wuzzies of the Sudan.Now to the North West Frontier, the Pathans. Unfinished bases on these marksmen.


Small Unit.



More Pathans




More Pathans

even more Pathans


Alot of the figures I added longer beards with sculpy.


Added some turbans also, I thought there were to many in skull caps.























Colonial Stuff

Just realized how long its been since I Last posted, Ive jumped around alot on periods, Here are some of my colonials: All will be Ral Partha unless noted. I fell in love with these little guys back in the 80's but couldnt afford them then, when I could...they were out of business. They are available again at:http://www.greatendeavours.co.uk/colonials/
Here are some Egyptian Infantry, the officer is a converted RN Officer.


Here is my company of Ghurka Rifles, once again the Native officer is converted from a Brittish one.

Here is the Command for my Royal Navy Shore Party.

Here are all the ratings.



My generic Highlander company. I HATE HATE HATE painting kilts and will paint no more.






Highlander command group, 2 converted Officers, NCO and piper.
Heres the Company

Now the command of my generic Brittish Regulars, officer modified to be bearheaded.



and here are the boys.



I modified the screw gunners, because all the photos Ive seen of them in action, they are crouching. So I cut them off at the waist and made them kneeling, Also added the fringe to the turban. The gun is grey, just looks silver in this light.

Close up of my Indian Lancers


The whole squadron.

Command element of one of my Sikh units, I have 2. Modified the officer to native, added the fringe on the turban.

Heres the whole unit.

Im not to satisfied with the lighting, and I wish I had some good terrain to put them on but this will do for now. Their bases I tried to make fairly generic but arid, so they could fight in the Sudan to Afgahnistan.
