Post by: white knight on August 31, 2008, 06:00:31 PM
August was all about Weird War II Americans for me:

Blimey WK, the month ain't over for another few hours, you could get another MaK done!  lol

That is a lovely gang of machines you have there though, I really like the Cap one, an inspired idea.

And since you asked, this month, I are been mostly doing...

BPRD

(http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb155/GrunterPulpit/BPRD/Thegangsallhere.jpg)

Still a few more to go with that, but they come in at 24 figs, so not too bad. (LabTech doesn't count as I just repainted his base.)

And to stop me going funny, I did these as well:

Well, they've got to fight something!

A nice break, but now I need to get back to the Lost World. Ta-ta!

Darkson Designs AE-WWII range. They are multipart metal (you get three bodies, 4 sets of arms and 4 heads). Best models in the range if you ask me.

Some really nice stuff this month folks.

Myself, well I got kinda lucky in the fact that when I handed my notice in at work they sent me home on full pay meaning I had 2 whole weeks of sitting on my backside finding things to do to kill time.  So being aware that I will have very little time to myself from now on I knuckled down to do as much as I could.  (I have re-joined the Police Force, but this time in a different country so lots of study to do)

Anyway onto my efforts

5 x Futurewars /gangs style boys
(http://www.hutchs-wargames.co.uk/images/August14.jpg)

5 x Futurewars / gangs style girls
(http://www.hutchs-wargames.co.uk/images/August15.jpg)

20 x VSF Prussian Infantry
(http://www.hutchs-wargames.co.uk/images/August17.jpg)

3 x 2man Prussian VSF Machine Guns
(http://www.hutchs-wargames.co.uk/images/August18.jpg)

10 x VSF Prussian Air Navy
(http://www.hutchs-wargames.co.uk/images/August19.jpg)

2 x VSF Prussian Air Navy Officers
(http://www.hutchs-wargames.co.uk/images/August20.jpg)

20 x Assorted Villagers for either VSF of Gothic Horror
(http://www.hutchs-wargames.co.uk/images/August21.jpg)
(http://www.hutchs-wargames.co.uk/images/August22.jpg)
(http://www.hutchs-wargames.co.uk/images/August23.jpg)
(http://www.hutchs-wargames.co.uk/images/August24.jpg)

3 more Random figures including the Headless Horseman
(http://www.hutchs-wargames.co.uk/images/August25.jpg)

10 Elf Cavalry for Slaughterloo
(http://www.hutchs-wargames.co.uk/images/August26.jpg)

20 Elf Line Infantry for Slaughterloo
(http://www.hutchs-wargames.co.uk/images/August27.jpg)

So having done those figures I felt I needed a bit of a break so went on to terrain.
I have shown a 28mm Figure in most of the pictures as an idea of scale.

The Wind Tower Building
(http://www.hutchs-wargames.co.uk/images/August29.jpg)

3 x Buildings for Peninsular Napoleonics / Slaughterloo etc
(http://www.hutchs-wargames.co.uk/images/August30.jpg)
(http://www.hutchs-wargames.co.uk/images/August31.jpg)
(http://www.hutchs-wargames.co.uk/images/August32.jpg)
(http://www.hutchs-wargames.co.uk/images/August33.jpg)

A heap of Martian Style Buildings for our upcoming VSF game.  (I only found out I needed to do these a couple of days before the end of the month)
(http://www.hutchs-wargames.co.uk/images/MD1.jpg)
(http://www.hutchs-wargames.co.uk/images/MDgroup.jpg)


And here is the stuff i just didn't get time to finish.

A Fortress style Outpost for our VSF games, to be on Mars.
(http://www.hutchs-wargames.co.uk/images/August28.jpg)

4 x Tudor style buildings much like those on my sleepy hollow style terrain boards
(http://www.hutchs-wargames.co.uk/images/August34.jpg)

Phew.  After that I think this month will be a very quiet one.  I am goping to get a Bloodbowl team painted and some more Aeronef ships but other then that not alot.

Oh I have also just found out that I have 1 day to come up with a Mine entrance and enough martian style terrain for a game planned on this coming wednesday...geez

I have now created an automaton to take over my teaching job so that I can get more painting time in. Hoping the kids won't notice too much..

A really impressive output Rabbitz and some great pieces there. Those Prussians do scrub up well and those gang members are great. Not sure we have a table big enough to put that martian fortress on though..

August was all about Weird War II Americans for me:



(http://wk.frothersunite.com/misc/pics/US_mak_cap_bucky_wip.jpg)

Forgot to mention these. Really nice. Rabbitz and I picked up 24 of these Ma.k units off e-bay a while back and we've been toying with what to do with them. It's good to see how they scale with 28mm at current size. I was considering cutting down the legs and arms to bring them more into scale and put the hatch in the front of the suit rather than the top. But I don't mind the look of these...Good stuff.

Yeah work is a major pain eh?   Need to work out a way of earning hobby money by doing nothing really.

TJG - Sure we'll have a big enough board...once you finish those 9 other terrain boards you told me about.

I actually painted 5 more Bronze Age martians but I gave them to my customer before I got to snap pix. Here are the ones I did photograph:

One mini for myself:

And most of mytime was spent doing terrain. I did all the jungle anf the 2 GW Hills from this pic:
