The Great titivation continues

Albeit slowly :-)

But at least the Miyoshi clan is completed. I've got another clan being tarted up at the moment but I'm not sure who to field them as. The mon is done but I can't remember who it was supposed to be as several clans use the same one.

I'll get a whole clan shot done in the next few days.

The Prisoner of Limehouse

Welcome, dear reader, to Limehouse.

A nerfarious den of delinquents and ne'er do wells and the perfect place for Evil in the night...

The local police station had been given instructions to transport a prisoner from Limehouse through to Hackney. No clue as to who the prisoner was or what they were imprisoned for.

Various groups had gotten wind of the transfer and were closing in...

The quiet of the Limehouse dock early in the morning.

The police Mariah begins it's journey.

 Bibbly's Bashers, recently back from a much needed furlough have gotten wind of the situation and are moving in for the chance to get some easy money.

Unfortuantely, what appears to be a vampire with his minions has picked up the scent also.

The Bashers start to split up to make sure that they are alone.

But come across some of the vampires minions and a desparate struggle ensues.

The Master himself confronts Rifles McFee and attempts to mesmerise him into submission.

Whimsical Frederick gets jumped on by a minion and does not come off well.

A mystery group, armed to the teeth appears in a side street and start to take their toll on the minions.

 The Mariah is oblivious to the interest shown until the Master sends one of his minions to overcome the driver.

The mystery group see off the remaining Bashers but fail to get to the Mariah in time.

Coppers pile out of the back of the Mariah in an attmept to see off the attackers

After a desparate struggle the coppers finally succome to the Master and are killed in the line of duty. The well armed ladies are kept at bay by the minions of the Master.

The Master opens the rear of the Mariah and out steps a well dressed lady of apparent consequence.

 Who is this mystery lady that has gone with the Master, seemingly of her own free will...

Teeny Tiny Star Wars

Real teeny tiny lol

I love Star Wars fleet battles and have wanted a decent set of quick rules to be able to do it. Full Thrust, although a cracking set that I do like, was too involved for the sort of size of battles that I've been after. Fortunately, Wiley Games is going to be bringing out a starfighter (and fleet) version of their Fistful of Lead rules soon (with a little help from yours truly).

Perfect opportunity to sort some fleets out!

The Nebulon-B is a full scratch build but it's a bit sloppy in places as I just wanted to get it finished. It represents an old Imperial one that has been stuck in the outer rim on patrol service. In the original West End Games stats it could hold two squadrons of fighters; 24 ships. I think that's a bit of a push given the size and design but I've modeled it with some tie fighters in the hanger and I think it could hold a single squadron at a push. The hanger lights up but if the battery dies I don't think I can change it...

The two bulk freighters are just simple scratch builds.

The Rebels have only got two CR90's so far and these are the Bandai ones. Lovely little kits and the detail is amazing, puts my Neb-B to shame lol

I've got a couple more of the kits and I'm thinking of changing one to either give it more guns (in place of the radar dish) or to have it as a fighter carrier. The second will be completely cannibalised to try and produce a Corelian gunship. That will be interesting.

All the fighters and shuttle shown here are from Shapeways. I got them over six years ago and I don't think theyre available anymore. Not a massive problem as I've started drawing my own and will start to print them closer to coming out of lockdown for when we start gaming again.

The X-wings are 12/13mm long, just to give you an idea of their scale. I've got a fair few other rebel fighters that need painting up, fortunately they're quite easy :-)

The second Quatre Bras

No, not a re-fight but the second version I've done of, the now demolished, farm at the Quatre Bras crossroads.

A bit different from the first as it has the crossroads included and the client requested for them to be perpendicular as opposed to angled.

The Frogs and the Lobsters

Some of you might have seen this on the LAF but here it is again :-)

I've wanted to do a little project based on the Hornblower tv episode 'The Frogs and the Lobsters' for quite a while and have now got stuck into it.

It's a cinematic project and probably won't even follow the Hornblower film that closely, as with most of my projects it's for fun rather than a historical study although I'll try and get the terrain/buildings as accurate as possible without spending too much time over it.

Only six French figures for the moment but I've got another six built and ready to paint but as the news ones will be royalists I'm not sure whether to prime dark and layer up or prime light and use washes :-/

The first bit of terrain is done as well in the form of a village barn. I'll be keeping the bases relatively small so they don't take up too much room.
