Jim and Chris' WWI adventure

[OSHIROmodels]

Teeny tiny side project me and my mate Chris are doing. I'll be doing Germans and he'll be doing Brits (I think, I'm sure he'll be along to show what he's doing  ).

Rules will be Through the mud and the blood by Too Fat Lardies. We'll be playing late war but not mud strewn as it would mean a whole load of new terrain which I have no room for 

Main inspiration has come from Sidney Roundwoods blog which is a wealth of modelling and painting loveliness for the period 

I still might do some trench boards but we'll see.

First off are three late war Germans from Great War miniatures, not the best cast figures but when cleaned up they paint up quite nicely. The uniform colours are possibly not quite right but I am slightly colour blind  Colours used are Foundry Granite for the jacket and Foundry Quagmire for the helmet and trousers (normal sorts of colours for the rest).




Some test scenery in the form of a run of barbed wire. Simple basing and balsa supports. The wire itself is from a mesh type sanding paper that was cut into strips and crushed to give a slightly random appearance.



And a scale shot with the figures...



And finally the start of an artillery explosion inspired by Dave Andrews and the ones he did for his very well done WW1 battlefield. Doesn't look like much at the moment but it will do soon enough (hopefully  )

Very nice work James and I shall enjoy following it alongside everything else you are currently doing

Nice start! How's the back?

[OSHIROmodels]

Thanks chaps, on a slow burner this one (along with sooo many others  ).

How's the back?

Thanks David, still painful but very slowly getting better, should start back at work this coming week.

cheers

Side project, just how many side projects do you have.

Side project, just how many side projects do you have.    

Erm, about eight that are having things done to them. The unstarted list is huge

Does it fit in a box? 

[Captain Blood]

Side project, just how many side projects do you have.    

It's incredible - that's about 10 different genres he's doing all at the same time!

Wait a minute, let's make a list...

Mars
Boxer rebellion
Robin Hood
WWI
Samurai (well obviously)
Gladiators
Wars of the Roses
Game of Thrones
French Wars of Religion, did I see somewhere earlier?

What else? Come on, there must be more!

 

(Nice paintwork though James  )

[Dr. The Viking]

He just asked me for some Lord of The RIngs figures. 

[OSHIROmodels]

I've got a slow burning 1:1000 Star Wars project, 15mm samurai, a very slow burning GW Empire force and terrain that I should get around to posting one day and 40K Rogue Trader that I've been collecting for recently...

Oh yeah, there's the 40mm peninsula nappies that we'll be doing soon...

 

cheers

[Captain Blood]

Don't you have a few Tex-Mex as well...? 

[OSHIROmodels]

Funnily enough no. I did start to make some terrain for it though 

cheers

[Captain Blood]

Close enough 

Can we count 'Japanese on Mars' and 'Martians proper' as two? 

[Silent Invader]

And don't forget Oshiro Terrain!
