1500pt Scourge Force

1500pt Scourge Force 1

Things have been a little quiet here: mainly due to the holiday season and the extra-curricular activities that entails. However, the other big event here is Cancon, which is Australia’s largest gaming convention. While it has not yet occurred, I’m playing 2 days of Dropzone Commander and I have needed to finish painting my Scourge. As a result it’s been a fair bit of painting and organising things and not so much blog posting.

However, I figured to put something up I’d throw up a picture of my forces and the list. First the picture:

Bane of War V has been and gone, and it was a fantastic weekend of gaming for all.

I really enjoyed Bane of War, it was a great event, Red on Blue where ever possible, it was well run, and having the comp inside the Texas Military Forces Museum is a bonus.

Test Israeli Sho’t

Test Israeli Sho't 2

A little something different and larger than normal. I think I’ve previously mentioned that I was going to do some 6mm AIW. The first component of this is a number of Israeli Sho’t (Improved Centurion Tanks). I’ve finished one as a test model, and I’m quite happy with the result. The colour is a little … Read more

Dropzone Commander Resistance

Dropzone Commander Resistance was a force for Drop Zone Commander I had to get, clearly designed as an insurgency force, but it had choppers, and it was shiny so I couldn’t resist.

I didn’t buy the starter box like I should have but rather I started collecting by getting what ever blisters the local store had.  Which was not much but it was a start.  This was meant to be a slow build not something that I felt i had to have completed in a week or two.

E-7A Wedgetail – Complete

E-7A Wedgetail - Complete 3

The final step in this build was to print up some custom decals. I used Bare-Metal Foil‘s decal film. This product is a clear film that can be printed on with a laser printer. They’ve a number of variations with different colours and laser printing options all available. It was simply a matter of creating some images and then finding a high enough quality printer to print them out. At this scale even the huge markings on these planes are still only 2-3mm across so you need a good printer. I printed the following image, note the three different copies. I ended up using one and a half.DecalsX3

Year of Painting

My Year of painting has been pretty disrupted, a Trip back to Australia in March that ended up being 6 weeks, took pretty much all the wind out of my sails.  I really didn’t get painting again until I started this blog.   I was lacking some motivation, and really this blog provided me with goals that I should keep to.  I find deadlines always help me get stuff finished.

Year of Painting 4

The Blog it’s self is a really good tool for me to get my work out there, I enjoy painting, and so I can show off to a wider community, I hope that I am producing some good work for people to look at.  If there is anything people want me to explain more drop me a message, I know my writing is not the best I am also working on that, It is good to get back in to working on some weakness that I have.

So on too what I have completed, what misses, what hit’s and what I am looking forward to
