Just be thankful that you are a talented modeller. Some of can't roll dice OR build convincing vehicles/scenery

It's not the dice, it's because you have the tactical nuance of a pikeman ;-)

Hello chaps,

Time for a long overdue update 

Tonight for your viewing pleasure we have some more Japanese troops, and boat of some sort and the wily enemy 


First off a shot of all the troops I have at the moment...


And then a couple of close ups of the support weapons



A slight close up of the command section


Next I've been working on a Martian tramp steamer (or tug, whatever you want to call it  ). It's not based on anything in particular, just a generic shiply form.

Still needs some paint on it which should be this weekend (all being well  )



And finally for tonight a tester model for the wily Chinese enemy 

I've played around with it in Photobucket as the piccy came out rather dark but it doesn't look quite right. Better in the flesh 


Work has progressed on the canals and the armoured gunship and I will hopefully put them up at the weekend.

Thanks for looking, c+c welcome as always (apart from Millymally mully  )

cheers

James

Really nice, Jimbly!   

Looking forward to see how the ship turns out and... I still need to get some of your bases.  Very nice indeed.  One day... I promise.

Shouldn't you be painting some Jap models as the Chinese? Just to balance it out

I think I have said it before but somehow they seem to paint up better as Nips than Chinks

Decent tug job too

Who's Millymally Millymally?

I like 'Em anyway, and the boat is rather spiffing

He said Millymally mully who is a bald estate agent of minor stature from down south, now go back to your pdf/photshop publishing unless you have any decent insults to hurl

You're on form tonight Svennn dear boy 

Well, I've got the Foundry Imperial Chinese army set to paint up for the Chinese because I don't think the uniforms for the 'proper' Chinese fit somehow. Doesn't quite seem VSF 

It's not the dice, it's because you have the tactical nuance of a pikeman ;-)

We'll have none of that thank you 

Thanks for the encouragement chaps. As always, there will be more to follow 

cheers

We all know the only reason that tug is being done as a generic civilian ship is because that way it might make it through a game

My bad, I thought it was for the aquanauts game. I just presumed it had already been sunk
