A Life in Miniature: January 2016

A Life in Miniature. Friday, 8 January 2016. Painting World War 2 German Armour. For our Christmas game we returned to 20mm and this inspired me to dig out some old projects. Inspired my the forthcoming game I took the opportunity to finish them. Here's a couple of finished shots as a late war German kampfgrupp. Really pleased with the results. The crew really lift the models in my opinion. Panel highlights applied by hand and then a thin oil paint filter applied. Matt varnish then weathering. Download E...

A Life in Miniature: December 2015
http://a-life-in-miniature.blogspot.com/2015_12_01_archive.html
A Life in Miniature. Saturday, 12 December 2015. We had an opportunity to try the new Osprey rule set "Black Ops" last Thursday at the Club. A high ranking diplomat had been kidnapped by local rebels some where in Central Asia. The rebels were a mix of poor quality militia, mercenaries and an FSB team on site to interrogate the prisoner. A special forces team supported by regular troops were despatched to rescue him. It looked like they might have got the hostage to a landrover but this was quickly destr...

A Life in Miniature: February 2016

A Life in Miniature. Monday, 8 February 2016. Vapnartak 2016 and Dragon Rampant. Well it's been sometime since my last post. I really must try and blog a bit more regularly. Here's a couple of quick snaps. Knights are on 60mm by 80mm bases. I really like the extra depth which allows a less regular positioning of the figures. For the sharp eyed there are a couple of bases of late medievals in the background but they are for another post. Is it just me who agonises about base sizes? So how was the show?

A Life in Miniature: May 2016

A Life in Miniature. Sunday, 8 May 2016. Its Been a Long Time. It's been a long time since I updated the blog with a post. I really need to try and get into the habit of posting at least once a week! So what have I been up to? In order to neatly fit the walls onto a terrain tile they needed to be cut up and joined. The light foam the walls are made of made this really easy and as the walls were to be plastered it was easy to use filler to hide the join. Next the moat had to be carved into the tile and th...

Tabletop Mog: Napoleonic Goodness
http://tabletopmog.blogspot.com/2015/07/napoleonic-goodness.html
Saturday, 11 July 2015. This morning I popped down to the Polly to join Quint and Ade. My Prussians were too late arriving today to appear on the table, but hopefully will get an airing soon. The battle did not get too far as there was quite a bit of debate (all positive and constructive), and explanation of concepts. however, an enjoyable way to spend a few hours on a Saturday! 14 July 2015 at 08:54. 6 September 2015 at 08:39. What are these rules all about then? 6 September 2015 at 08:40. The Men Who W...
