I put the weird and unusual into miniature wargaming. I sculpt, paint, build, write and above all, still get to play!
It’s been over 30 years since I painted a battletech mini. Need to get myself some hex bases to finish these heavies.

Tried the tarp effect again. This time on some fuel dumps. The barrels are from plastic beads. Seen here with 6mm forces but would work at other scales.

Sorry I couldn’t resist, got some pumpkin potpourri to make mini pumpkin patches for terrain, but the larger pieces suddenly became…

Thought I would have a go at creating tarp covered stuff like crates. Had some old counting blocks and used a dried out glasses wipe as the cloth. Quite like the result.

It’s been 16 years since I made some alien plants out of pasta, so I thought I’d make a new set. Went with purple for these and added purple tufts. They will work for any scale.

Couple more scratchbuilt industrial buildings. Just made out of various bits destined for the bin.

Decided to paint an old toy as a sci-fi building for my 3mm and 6mm games. I know some of you recognise this, care to admit your age 😉

Started work on a sci-fi hydroponics farm, should work for my 3mm and 6mm games. Just waiting for some plastic easter eggs to arrive that I'm hoping to use as the greenhouse domes.

Right managed to slap a bit of paint on these. I really should have gone for something less detailed to get my painting mojo back. The detail and poses of 3D prints can be a challenge.

why should air, earth, fire and water get all the fun? our concremental shows what the modern urban environment's capable of when summoned into humanoid form and armed with street furniture.

Gave my cheap aquarium plants a light spray of green and red, worked well to tone down the original colour and took the plastic shine off.

The other thing I’m finding with the 3D miniatures is not quite understanding the various materials they are printed with. As I cleaned up the mini’s the material would fracture and I’m left with damage like this on the gun barrel.

I’ve started to paint the 3D printed minis and my initial thoughts are. They are great sculpts but because they are not having to go in a mould, what would normally be filled in areas or undercuts are now full of inaccessible detail.

I've been trying to re-ignite my mojo. Still gaming but haven't picked up a brush in months. I've decided to change the miniatures for my Stargrave crew and have bought my first 3D printed miniatures. They are interesting and I've got quite a few thoughts about them that I'll share as I paint them.

Finally managed to pick up a paint brush. Not exactly going to plan 🤣

I found an old figure in a bag at the back of my mums shed. No idea of the adventure this guys been on, but going to strip and update the 30+ years old paint job! It's an Ral Partha Ettin I must have bought in teh early 1990's.

Been struggling with my hobby mojo lately so what better way of refreshing my enthusiasm than attending a wargame show. I'll be at the Broadside show this Saturday. I've been going to this show since it started, it's grown and got better every year. www.miltonhundred.com/broadside

Here's a picture of my scratchbuilt grav tanks. Did these for my 15mm forces. They are made from clips used for bag straps and a number of other bits and pieces, rawl plugs, zip covers and stuff from the bits box.

Where has the time gone! @brigademodels.co.uk have released more of my 3mm Sci-fi mini's. Been enjoying painting these up all over again. Using different techniques this time, speed/contrast paints weren't a thing first time round.

Friend put a game of Battletech Alpha Strike on at the weekend. Played as the Inner Sphere and taught the Clans a harsh lesson 😎

I’d forgotten I still had these GW catalogue pages. Oh how I wish I had more of these figures. My younger self thought these would be available forever.

Well on another crap news day here’s a happy picture of the 1980’s Berzerk Arcade dice tower I made along with the robots and evil Otto miniatures for the game.

Not much of a hoard from Salute but then I was working and didn't have time to do any shopping. But I did get some scenic supplies from @badsquiddogames.bsky.social that I'm going to use for some alien landscaping and a whole stack of bases from @warbases.bsky.social
