World of Twilight: Engineer's Hut

Last month I picked up this lovely little resin hut from Fenris Games as they were having a sale to say goodbye to their old webstore. I had this piece pencilled in to get for a while and this tipped me over the edge to get it. It's designed for the World of Twilight setting but can get used in many others

Cast in one solid lump of resin it is a wonderfully detailed scenery item. There are pipes, barrels, wasp nests and all sorts of details just dotted all over it. A simple wash in soapy water and undercoat with black was all the preparation that was needed

Of course, I still have plenty of Twilight figures to paint. I really must get focused..

Remainder of June Painting

I was actually quite busy with the brushes during June, it just seemed like everything ended up being completed towards the end of the month. So here are the photos of the random finished things

First to be done was this dwarven steampunk Queen Victoria I got during the Kickstarter that Bob Olley ran. I have some dwarven thugs to go with her and am thinking they would make a fun 'In Her Majesty's Name' group..

Next is a metal Lord of the Rings dragon I picked up (relatively) cheap off of eBay. I had to strip some old paint off and fashion a replacement horn for a missing one. I wanted this model for ages and am glad I got it

Next a few remaining Batman range figures from Knight Models. The Heath Ledger Joker is an amazing figure plus the henchmen are brilliant!

Finally, a giant crocodile model from North Star Figures that will form another part of my Egyptian 'Of Gods & Mortals' force. It's a big model, that's two Flames of War large bases I fitted together to make a base large enough for him

Next month, likely more un-focused project painted things

The War Doctor & Boone

I painted something! It might not seem like much but trust me, with all the health  problems I've been having, this is a vast step

Looking at the lines of figures waiting to be painted, I dusted (literally) these two figures off to get done. The first is Doctor Payne by Heresy Miniatures. Obviously based on John Hurt as the War Doctor from the Doctor Who episode, The Day of The Doctor. The resemblance is amazing and the only thing that kept me from painting him sooner was all that dark brown clothing. He didn't come out too bad in the end though

The second figure is the last of the Star*Hide range that I had left to paint for Craig at Killer-B Games. Standing at 40mm tall, he's Boone, a sasquatch hunter complete with a pair of man traps. Nice..

Now I've got my mojo back, expect some more postings
