 So got back to painting a few more pirates, there may be a familiar face in there, its nice to be actually painting again.

A few Pirate scum

And I also painted up a few banditos as well.

So just a quick post...

More buildings for Pirates!

 Okay,

Got this new building assembled last night, they call it a corner tavern from Sarrisa Precision, It has a very Caribbean feel to it and all the buildings I plan to add a Spanish style roof to the buildings. With these newest additions to my collection I can now do a nice little port town for pirates to raid. 

Corner Tavern

Back side of Tavern

A group collection of the newest buildings.

Next up as I said, Spanish tile roofing and then onto paint, so stay tuned.

New settlement rises

Okay,

The first building for my LotHS table was built this weekend, the Simple Block house. Nice little kit and the kit allows for the doors to open as well as the shudders if you choose. I will be adding tape to the doors to act as hinges and will be opening up the shudders as well. But it feels nice to get back to a fun project that has been in the works for years. 

Simple Block House

I also put together these two fountains that can really be used for any period really, its for the Gangs of Rome line, but a fountain is a fountain to me. You get two fountains in the kit which is nice.

So there you go, a couple of terrain pieces completed, now have about four more buildings to assemble for this LotHS table.

The Old West and Caribbean just got a little bigger!

 So,

With my renewed vigor for gaming, I took the plunge and purchased a few buildings for some Old West Gaming and some Pirate gaming, my go to Sarrissa Precision. 

I ordered last week and today the box arrived well intact, the only thing that had any damage was the little candy they threw in there, the weight of the building kits smashed it...LOL

So here is the haul, first up a nice color catalog that they threw into the box, very nicely done, nice pictures of all there stuff. 

2023 color catalog!

Next up items for the Caribbean build project, Fountains. I suppose I could use these for Old west down in old Mexico.

 

Fountains, there are two in there I think.

Next the actual buildings for the Caribbean, these are from their Mediterranean line and look like some nice Spanish buildings.

Next up are the buildings for my Old West table, I have been needing a nice bank, and when my buddy came out from Kansas last year, we went to Tombstone and this bank looks like the one down there.

Brick Bank for the Desperados to rob!

Blacksmith for all your wagon and horse shoe repairs!

Hotel. looks like one that was down in Tombstone.

Dead mans bundle, an Undertaker, Boot Hill and an Undertakers shop with Hearse.   

So there you go, Just a few buildings to keep me busy for awhile.

The man with no fear is finally complete!

 Okay,

I had these two models printed out for me from my buddy Tom back in May and I am happy to say I finally finished them up last night. Reason for the delay, well we moved to a new house and I finally got my painting area set up. Feels good to have these completed!

Man with No Fear from the Netfllix/Disney+ show

Daredevil, the Devil of Hells Kitchen!

Hopefully more models will be rolling off the paint table in the very near future and I can get back to updating the blog.

The Devil of Hells Kitchen

Okay, 

I have always been a comic book fan of the Man with no Fear - Daredevil, so when MCP released him I had to get it regardless if I play the game or not! The model is very much like the comic book suite and is a great pose. Then I happen to find a STL site (Skull forge Studios) who had their version of DD but from the Netflix/Disney series, I knew I had to have those and had a buddy print me up a set.

MCP Model on left, Skull Forge on Right

All the Skull forge models

Well a few months ago I painted up a few Star Wars models that I had my buddy upscale for me. So as I was looking at the Skull Forge models, I thought, Hey, why not upscale DD as well! So my buddy printed them out and I was going to enter them in a Model Expo at my local shop, but it got postponed. 

Upscaled DD

Another Upscale DD

Well the two Daredevils have been staring at me so I figured I would get to working on them and just paint them up. The first pose below I wanted him to look like he was standing on a corner of a building overlooking Hells Kitchen, so out came some plastic and balsa wood to do a building corner. I think it looks much better like this and I plan to paint this model in the Red suite from the Netflix/Disney show.

Man without fear watching Hells Kitchen

This pose is feels like it wants to be the Yellow & Red scheme as seen in the She Hulk series, which I am not sure if same costume, but I will make it work. Its just another great pose from Skull Forge.

 Well thats it for now, have a big change happening and will document it once we are final, stay tuned.

Warmaster Update _ Dwarves

 So, been a crazy month and a half, but I just got a few dwarves completed this weekend for Warmaster

820 points of dwarves

Two Slayer units

I was able to find a good size dwarven army made of metal from a friend, been sitting on them for some time, thought hey, lets paint up a few.

RIP Leeloo

 Yesterday we said good bye to our oldest cat, Leeloo, she was with us for over 16+ years and was a great cat. She developed a tumor in her stomach that caused her to decline quickly, so we made the tough, right decision to let her go so she would not suffer. You will be missed but not forgotten Ms. Loo

Something stirs....

Well,

If you were wondering where I was, it seems that the seasonal flu bug hit me like a ton of bricks and I have been down and out for about a month now. But before I got hit with the bug, I had found this little gem and wanted to grab it for some games of Warhammer Quest.

Ove the last few days I got to paint this model, which painted up very nicely and looks good on the table. My only issue is how he is posed, its hard to get a good picture of him due to the angle of the sword, but overall a nice new collection for some Warhammer Quest! Enjoy! 

Painted up Witch King

LotR or MESBG terrain...

Well I just completed a few terrain pieces for a buddy of mine for LotR or MESBG as its called now, here you go:

This is a trade for some 3d printing Tom has done for me, I still have the tree sections to complete.

Lord of the Rings 2023 update...

 Well okay, here are a few things for the Lord of the Rings 2023 project:

Picked these two hero's for my Rohon force i am working, since I have the plastic Theoden, figured I would also get Eomer and Eowyn. Nice models but they are a pain to assemble.

Since I am doing Riders of Rohon, here is a shot of 21 riders that I recently completed:

I also got the plastic Nazgul from the Pelenor Fields box set:

In the picture above you can also see a ring wraith on horse back. This is a converted model that was missing the arm, or so I thought. When I assembled the Nazgul, it came with a few arms for different poses for the model. So I took the extra and thought perfect I can use it for the one missing an arm.

Well when I pulled the model out not only was the arm missing but the legs for the right side of the model were I harvested the legs I needed and went to work.

..

So, the moral of the story, dont throw away those bits, even if you had them for almost 15 years as they may come in handy sometime!

There you go a little WIP of the Lotr2023 project.

Dark Lord of the Sith!

 Welcome intrepid adventurers!

Well I am back to Star Wars again, sort of! So just before Christmas I painted up a few Up scaled Skull Forge Studios figures for Christmas presents. Well I went to a Christmas party and showed one none gamer friend what I did, he was amazed and wanted to know if I could do one for him, then my phone got passed to another friend and another request, well this happened a few times until I had 5 orders for larger figures. Well I just finished this one up which is the last one.

You will see the "Standard" 28mm figure on the left, the other is roughly 200 times larger, so about 54mm.

Well there you go adventurers another awesome model completed...
