German builds again
Got three more to do for this batch but I'll show these ones for now. When the rest are done I'll pop them on some decent terrain as the white background can be a bit stark when there are multiple buildings there.

The slowest hunk of junk in the galaxy
I had this started a year or two ago and it stayed in the same state up until a short while ago where I dug it out and got it finished. It was basically two boxes joined together by an unfinished one.
The joining 'box' was finished off and then the panelling began. Styrene cut to size for the most part with some choice bits from the bits box for the rest. Some bits aren't quite square but you can't really tell now it's painted.
The cargo is magnetised and I'll be doing other load outs to go with it.
It was sprayed an off white and given a liberal coat of GW brown ink which was wiped off with a clean cloth. A sponge was used for the weathering of the flaked paint and some rust washes were added as well. A few pastel streaks here and there along with a painted cockpit and it was good to go.
Originally intended for 28mm (of course) but it's also good for smaller scale actions as well; the last pictures showing the Bandai Vehicle box fighters (in an unpainted state but once I get some egress tubes done I'll take some more photos)

Salute 2020
Well, it's nearly that time again and I have to make a start (or a continuation) of the Salute board that's planned. 15mm big battles in the shadow of a castle.
It'll be around 7x5 (or 6x4) to allow space for cards around the edge and other paraphernalia.
Here's what I've got so far. I'll need a few more units of course and a few more building bases but the big thing will be a castle in the corner including a tenshu (currently being mastered). The Sanada clan (red) were painted by RJ and the Honda (black and white) by ADC painting. The little base of ronin and commander were painted by me. I can't afford for more to be painted by others though :?
Not much time left lol

A Happy New Year
Firstly, apologies for not updating the blog for a fair bit but I was away for Rugby World Cup in Japan for around eight weeks and secondly I was spending a lot of time catching up when I got back, then Christmas arrived (well, sort of jumped out from behind the cupboards :-)
There is plenty of content to be written up and loaded here and I've made a start drafting some of it up. I'll hopefully be posting several times a week again biut we'll see how it goes.
I did make some images for the other social media sites I frequent and here they are for posterity :-)
A quick word about the rugby for those that might be interested.
Excellent experience and well worth the trip (I even was able to take some work out with me, both digital and physical). Here are some random photos of the tourney.
Japan excelled with the whole thing making it (in my opinion) the best RWC ever. The biggest downer was the fact that Heineken were the beers sponsors (a bidding decision made before the Japanese beat the Springboks in 2015) and also that there wasn't enough water at the stadiums to begin with. It was liveable though lol
Excellent atmosphere at all the stadiums and the volunteers were great; waiting until after the match to high five the fans when they were leaving :-)
A quick note about the typhoon. we weren't effected where we were but hats off several of the teams that helped with the clean up afterwards and the moments silence in the stadia afterwards was fantastic. The only sound was from a couple of babies here and there which of course isn't a problem :-)
I support Japan and the fact they got into the quarters by beating all four of their opponents was probably the best bit of the whole tourney. Let's hope they do better for the next RWC!
A massive thank you all those involved both in front and behind the scenes. Onwards to 2023 in France!

Plancenoit part two (picture heavy)
This is the second base for the Plancenoit for the same client and it joins onto the first base (see photos).
Just a quick note, I've seen a couple of comments on a certain fora that the church isn't correct. This is true but the brief wasn't for an exact copy as the client will be using the bases for other games so something generic but suitable was required.
It's based on 6mm mdf and the buildings were completed first then 'planted' into the ground work. The signpost is correct (as far as I can tell, I'm sure if it isn't then someone will point it out).
