U.S. Infantry, Caesar, 1:72 and a tree....

On weekend I finished my first tree. It was a first try and I think I know what went wrong. I will try again and I hope the result will be better. And I started the U.S. Rangers from Pegasus (Pictures will follow). To get the feeling for the U.S. Boys I also painted these Ceaser Minis. Still W.i.p. but this week will be U.S. week.





And welcome to Takeo! Nice to have you here!

German Infantry....A last Group Shot!

I promised a group shot of my last painted germans. Here they are. Unfortunately the light was not the best for taking pictures. Yesterday evening I repainted the bases and today they will go on their journey, together with the Caesar British Infantry.

A nice weekend!

And welcome to m0e and sada!

D.A.K. Revell/Esci, 1:72

I remeber how lucky Paul (Plasticwarrior) was when he got his hands on an old Matchbox Set. I ´m as lucky as he was because I got my hands on two old hardplastic sets from Revell/Esci. The D.A.K. Figures were top on my "wish list".







And the best... I got two of them :-)

Terrain & Tree, attempts...

You know how it is, you went to the cellar, searching something and than you found a box with forgotten items. Yesterday I found this little landscape and a tree I started one or two years ago? I don`t know. But I think they are worth to go on.








The terrain was made of Styropor, covered with woodfiller. I tried to make a corn field just befor harvesting by using the bristles of a brush. I think because this was a lot of stupid work I stopped and forgot it ;-)



The "Tree" was made of a small branch. Then I covered it with cotton wool (?) I don´t know the right translation but it was no cotton wool but something I normally use in my aquarium filter. It is a kind of synthetical wool. After spraying it green I covered it with diluted woodglue and scattered some flocks on it. Because the base was so ugly I stopped it that time.

I think I give them a second try....

German Infantry, Seated, Preiser, 1:72

O.k. nothing spectacular today. Just the seated Germans I also finished last weekend.

British Infantry, Caesar, 1:72

Finally I finished this lot of British Infantry by Caesar. My favorite british Figures. Panited as usual by using Vallejo and Revell Colours. Next Project: U.S. Rangers from Pegasus.

Have a nice and successful week!





EDIT: UPS, something wrong with the pictures?!? I can`t fix it yet and will do it tonight. Pleas click on them, than you can see it better! Sorry for that, mates!

Edit II: Fixed!

To be or not to be...., Reworked Germans, Preiser, 1:72

I just reworked these two Minis I painted 3 years befor. After making the pictures "Hamlet" springs in my mind...







The last two picture show the figur befor inking it. Unfortunately I have no picture of the second one for a "before and after" comparison.

Both figures are from Preiser.

British Infantry for a Jeep, Halftrack...1:76, SHQ

Today just a few pictures of my just finished SHQ-Minis.

And I found out that since yesterday I´ve got 20.000 visitors on this blog. Thanks for watching, mates!

Again Germans....1:72

I continued the work on these Germans. Almost finished. I think I have to rework the right officer, perhabs another light drybrush (and the cap isn`t finished yet). We will see.

That´s new! Officers at work! (I think the right one is polishing the lamp ;-)

British Infantry, Caesar, 1:72

I made a little progress with these british Minis. The first four (on the right side of the first picture, still wet from washing...) are finished and the rest is almost ready for a wash. Hope to end this project until weekend.
Sorry for the pictures, they are a little bit dark.







And welcome to sada_2110068, the Number 75 in my Viewer List! I hope you like what you see!

WH 40 K, Update!

While Painting the britsih infantry I used the time when the colour is drying to go on with my "Imps" for Warhammer. Not finished, of course, but a nice change...

The Englishmen should be finished during this week, as well as the germans. I keep you informed. And sorry for not commenting your beautiful blogs the last days, but I was "offline" as our "village-net-knot" was out of order :-(

Germans...

Huch, when painting the last lot of Germans I just forgot these....but now nearly finished!

New Projects, British Infantry, Caesar and others

First of all welcome to m0e and WAZ. And I will show you first shots of a new project I started this week. British Infantry, mostly Caesar but also SHQ and AB Miniature. Still W.I.P as you can see, but I´ve got two days od holiday so I hope to finish them soon. Have a nice Sunday!

WH 40 k, The rest of my new stuff!

Today I want to show you the rest of my new (old) stuff from WH 40 K I purchased last week. I think I know what to do for the rest of the year. We want to start a campaign in September so my Summer will be busy...










Has someone an idea who this ugly boy could be?

Der Rest vom Schützenfest...More Germans Part II

I made it at last...The rest of this lot is finished. A mixture of Caesar and Revell. Now 14 british Soldiers will follow!

Warhammer 40 k, New Stuff

I got a big parcel full of WH 40 k Stuff. About 80 figures, cannons, a Leman Russ and a Transporter. Here you can see the first "bag" I opened. There are two more. All is "used" some are prime painted and the Tanks are build but not painted. Mostly Imps and some Catachans. A lot of work....

But first I have to finish some projects. Still to come about 70 WK 2 Minis and another Landing Ship...

I wish you a nice weekend!
