Thats the deep shading and the edge highlight done on everyone, thank god. Now I can ignore most of the models and focus on the Masons. Not that I imagine most people can see the difference between the last photos and these.
I’ve noticed my edit button on past p[osts has gone. I assume we can only edit old posts for a short time after posting? Anyone any idea how long this is? I always liked updating old posts when relevant.
Completed my Stormcast with wings, was a fun model to paint. Easier than I first thought as well, tbh. Drybrush is your friend for this model…
…and the pack pic, which is actually the coolest for this mini;
Here is a chimera I have converted for my Airborne Imperial Guard. I have gone for a used universe look with plenty of weathering.
Still working on some (heavy) support and reinforcements for my Bolt Action German late war army.
Finished this week a Normandy Tiger I (1/56; Warlord Games; Crew is a kit bash) and a Panzergrenadier.
Hope you like it. Tiger I will roll out for action on Sunday 🙂
so lets try this picture upload malarkey again, then, shall we?
IT’S SLEDGEHAMMER TIME!
…and the pictures are GONE! IT’S ALL GONE! ARGH!
This is the “Sledgehammer BFG” from Victoria Miniatures by ways of the Reaper Bones third kickstarter. The gun and carriage is in HIPS polystyrene plastic and the crew are in Bones PVC material, the rubbery type. All apart from the range finder part are one piece, with tabs beneath their feet to fit seperate slotted 25mm round bases in a similar style to 40k. There is also a large oval base for the piece, but I did not use that here.
The range finder-piece was completely wonky even after boiling, and I ended up having to drill through it and insert a pin to get it to be something approaching straight. The crew are slightly smaller than similar models from
the Imperial Guard, sorry, Astra Militarum from Warhammer 40k which this model clearly is meant for.I have not actually painted any large vehicles or similar kits like this in a very long time, and have never really tried my hand at weathering or any of that lark. So the results are not all that either.
Also, I think I should have done the piece in a different color more consistent with the uniforms I ended up doing, maybe added some camo netting or something. Also I probably should have looked into how to do weathering properly -I don’t even have a sponge. And maybe I should get my airbrush up and running again.
Not to mention to look at how real life artillery markings are.
Oh well. It is perfectly servicable for the tabletop.
My photo’s are still not showing up earlier in the thread. And half the photos since then is not working.
I’ll try again.
Rebasing my Brettonias for Sundays AoS Skirmish tournament!
Parthians…I will try to take better photos. My excuse is that I wasn’t used to the sunshine
seeing as I am not able to edit my reply (more than once), I will try again, now I found a workaround to the picture upload problem. (if the pictures are hosted elsewhere, you can paste a link here and the pic will show.)
Third time’s the charm, as the saying goes:
IT’S SLEDGEHAMMER TIME!
Pictures all present and in ordah, SAH!

Back in action…still have to find my way around the site but it looks very nice so far, good job BoW. So here come my ME109s from the BRS starter set. Every single plane now painted and looking forward to getting some games in.
…and two of the sources I took my “inspiration” from. One is the Osprey Spitfire vs. BF109 book and the other a copy of a German scale modelling magazine which I picked up some month ago because of the article on Luftwaffe colors and camouflage schemes. Just out of curiosity but it really helped me with the BF109.
I’ve finished the flesh, hair, and fur on all my current Masons guild and dreadball minis. Next is on to the blue cloth, after some lunch. I’m taking billions of photos so I’ll likely assemble a project out of this once I’m back at work and have computer access but no painting access.
