Hi everyone,

The project is now finished.  I spent the day working on the storage box and it is now ready as well.

So what do I think of Speed paints in general?  I think they are great for specific jobs that require speed.  I don’t like painting this way, nor will I convert to Speed Paints or Contrast.  They are just not my thing.  I do not enjoy the process as much I do with  my more conventional painting techniques and paints.

Having said that, if I ever decide to paint up the miniatures of one of my board games, like Blood Rage, I will definitely use these paints. So basically for any set of miniatures that are not handled exclusively by me.

All the hostiles painted up, and all the minis I will ever need for this game!All the hostiles painted up, and all the minis I will ever need for this game!

The storage box is a Star Wars Legion starter set box. It comes from an order I made from Ebay Germany.  It was for two boxes of Battletech miniatures and the seller sent them in this box.  I kept it at the time thinking I it might come in useful one day.  And so it did!

I fitted the miniatures inside the box and cut out compartments  from cardboard for the figures.  Since the box is quite deep, I made part of it into a two tier system.  Overall it is a cheap yet sturdy solution for a club project.

There you have it. A game system ready to be taught, demoed and played at our club.  I will leave this project open for now because I will use it to display my Zona Alfa team when I get around to painting them.

I hope you enjoyed this little journey with me and I hope this makes you think of playing the game or giving it a go.

Until next time, may your lasergun batteries never run out.

(P.S. Oh no, I have to go back and paint up more 10mm Elf cavalry. Aaaargh!)
