Lack of updates...

...due to a short holiday in New York (fantastic) and the loss of my little digi camera there (not so fantastic) : normal service resumed soon!

Neo-Soviet Sabre Tank

From Old Crow. Painted for Rodrigo's Neo-Soviet force. Bigger pic, from the other side, the rear and a close-up of the commander

Neo-Soviets (again!)

this time a slideshow of the recent special forces and an 'objective'

I've put all the Neo-Soviets in a slide show (some of the pics aren't so great and a little repetetive but I'll edit it down next week)

More Sci-Fi Neo-Soviets

The six new 'recruits' are here and the full 'team' here.

The miniature has been painted with two, very thin coats of Games Workshop's Dwarf Flesh. The thin paint has acted as a wash and flowed into the depressions of the sculpt and left the Lt. Grey primer showing through and delineating the highlight areas.




All the edges of the shirt have been lined with GW's Ogryn Flesh wash and then Devlan Mud wash has been used in the darker shadow areas.
Painting these areas has really showcased the quality of the sculpt. If I remember correctly Kev sculpted the torso and cross-belts then added the shirt from very thin sheets of Greenstuff. Bloody amazing!

On the desk...3

More 1/20 Machinen Krieger - another of the support troops. I'll be recording the stages of painting this figure too. I've also started re-modelling a 1/20 Brickworks, female mechanic by hollowing out an old, resin helmet and fitting it to her head. The original figure has an adjustable spanner (befitting her role as a Ma.K Mechanic) in her right hand - I'll be replacing this with a slung kit bag.
