Review- Konflikt ’47 British Infantry nearly done!
I got the block painting finished on my British. Before they go off to the dip I thought I’d show them pre-transformation and make a few comments about the figures themselves. What you see here is the 20 plastic British Infantry from the British Konflikt ’47 boxed set. These are the same figures that are ... Read more
CSW Hobby Night
Mike, Mattias, and I got together for one of our semi-regular hobby nights. It was a productive evening all around! Look how happy they are! Mike made a lot of progress on some ships. In his own words: Last night I painted decks and detail work on US warships that date from 1890 to around ... Read more
Painted- Temple of Ro-Kan Reinforcements for Bushido
I recently finished some more Bushido Miniatures for my Temple of Ro-Kan faction. This is Kuma. Yes, he is clearly inspired by a movie character. Who cares? He was so much fun to paint! I am quite pleased with his expression, and the color of his bamboo staff. This is Master Akari. He’s a tanuki, which ... Read more
Runewars: Daqan Army Finished!
Continuing on from my previous post, which showed the miniatures before dipping, last week I put the finishing touches on my Daqan army. Spearmen Usually I use a brush to apply the “dip”, however for the first time ever I did the classic immersion dip. I dunked the entire figure into a tin of Minwax ... Read more
Painted minis- Bushido Temple of Ro-Kan
My first batch of Temple of Ro-Kan minis are done! This Bushido faction caught my eye at Adepticon, and I just had to paint it. These guys were what inspired me to move forward with all my other recent Bushido projects… I mean… look at them! There is a monk sleeping on the back of ... Read more
Painted minis- Bushido Ito Clan
NOTE- I did not paint these. I acquired them in a trade, but they deserve to be showcased. The Ito clan is an interesting faction in the game of Bushido- They have basically sold their souls to some sort of snake god, and have all sorts of poison abilities. Itsunagi Ito is a samurai. He ... Read more
Fully Painted: Pig Iron Sci-Fi Infantry, and More
A couple years ago, I got my hands on a big ol’ box of gorgeous sci-fi infantry figures from Pig Iron Productions. Now, if you know me, you’ll know that I’m a sucker for anything by Pig Iron. The gritty, near-future aesthetic of the figures aligns perfectly with my sci-fi wargaming interests. I’ve already got ... Read more
A Harryhausen-Themed Stop-Motion Monster Warband
I have always been an avid fan of stop-motion effects in film. Once the bread and butter special effects in the age before digital animation and CGI, they are now seldom seen. I grew up on films such as “The Seven Voyages of Sinbad” and “Clash of the Titans” wherein actors hacked and stamped in ... Read more

Fully Painted: DeepWars Dark Mariners
I picked these fantastic DeepWars Dark Mariner miniatures up at Adepticon in 2014. I started painting them right away, but never finished them as other projects came up. However, Pat has been pestering me for a while to finish them, so I decided to make it happen. These guys were an excuse to use all ... Read more
