Miniature

It has been a long held hope that one day, I would build a Squat army.

This afternoon, for the Sheffield Irregulars' monthly competition themed 'Duel', I painted [i]The World's Smallest Wargame[/i], which was the free entry miniature for the Newark Irregulars' Partizan 2007 show.

Not a miniature that is available any longer, unfortunately. This 54mm (or more accurately 1/32 scale) Klingon Warrior is a resin miniature that was made by MMI. Unfortunately, they no longer trade - I picked this chap up on ebay. The base is from Miniature Heroes, although I have embelished it a little with some freehand ;)

Not my best paintwork ever, nor my best sculpting (some of the resin bitswere damaged needed serious GS work) - but I'm just really happy to have a painted Klingon! :D

Your comments are most welcome, too :)

I don't know if I've mentioned before my old standing love of BattleTech. For about fifteen years I've been wanting to paint up a light, recon lance of Inner Sphere Mechs - and a few weeks ago I saw the notice on the WaMP forum about a painting competition for Iron Wind Metals - who are the current manufacturer of miniatures for the BattleTech game! :) So I thought I had to take part! And I just wanted to show of the result, as I'm pretty pleased with it :)

Death for the Death God - no, wait, that doesn't work, does it? Anyway ...

I had a game of Necromunda over the summer with a couple of the lads at Sheffield Wargames Society. Since we could only muster two gangs between us, I knocked out these chaps in just under a week. With a bit longer, I think I would have done a bit more with the weapons, but I am still plesed with the way they turned out!

I've been a bit quiet this summer, as it ihas all been rather busy IRL - but that doesn't mean I haven't been painting. Just not photographing!

Hasslefree call him Cobra - I choose to call him Snake ;)

Following a conversation with my sister over a dead night light, there was a bit of general disbelief in my family that that surely I couldn't think of something gaming to make out of any old rubbish, and being the mildly competitive type I have just finished my VSF British Scout Aeronef.

Not nearly as good as a lot of the other excellent Aeronefs you can find on other parts of the internet, I'm pretty pleased with her, nevertheless.
