Loving the light mech! I'll have to get some of those.

Definitely factory fresh - I'd love to see it with some decals and battle damage weathering, to give it some personality.

thanks - Will definitely give it some battle damage, as you say needs a bit of personality

Some very nice miniatures - that's a very cool green you've managed there with the dead leaves on the base.

Grass from https://www.themodeltreeshop.co.uk - not too bright or cartoony and a really great service

Nice work on the mechs, the lenses/lights are particularly good.

ta - stole this idea from someone on this forum but can't remember who. And it suits the army color scheme!

Thanks James - your 'Japanese on Mars' is what I hope this tread might one day be - really inspiring stuff and probably one of the things that got me re-engaged with toy soldiers after a long break

…Right now on the painting bench I got soviet command & squad / german werewolves / indians all needing a final push as well as some terrain...

Mini update

Tidied up one of the Russian RPG teams and based them.

Took the day off & had planned to do a load of painting. Didn't happen but did get out my random half made bits of terrain for the ostfront - 2' x 2' baseboard, hill, wood, road sections, ukrainian windmill and soviet monument. Have a very clear color palette in mind for the terrain - muted autumnal colors with everything stained with tea to pull it all together. These have gone back in storage for when (if) we every get a bigger house. Sticking with getting the armies sorted for now.

onwards - SK

Looks promisingly awesome. Nice RPG team too.

Your Soviets look great & love the monument.

Any progress on this project? Post more pics!!!

Yes progress happening slowly but work / kids / halloween have taken over. A soviet squad almost there and a few misfires on my british indians but inching forward

. Updates in the next day or so…

Quick update of my Weird War British Indians. Been going around the houses with these trying a number of different colour schemes (including a bad attempt at a denison smock which didn't work).

Not a great photo as rushing out the door & just snapped on the edge of the bed...Better photo at the weekend

Lovely stuff!

The bigger scenic bases really give all the minis more character (I'm more used to old fashioned 25mm ones myself).

Ballardian · « **Reply #25 on:** November 03, 2016, 01:13:35 PM »

Very nice!

So awesome! Keep posting!

Great Paintwork.. Is the Indian figure a conversion or purchased as is ?

Keep Posting, really enjoying seeing the work.

Thanks all for the encouragement.

The figure is a conversion - west wind sotr British para body and the head is from somewhere else (ramshackle games??) that I ordered years ago. For the rest of the troopers I'm using the meridian miniatures eastern heads.
