The French Corner Shop is by a company out of Perth, in Western Australia. Called JTC Laser-cutting and Design. It is a quite an attractive building, and being an Aussie startup I should support them.
It is a good looking building. and will look great with some furniture inside of it as well.
I got hold of a Warlord Games, Soviet SU-76, this is pretty handy for the Soviet force for Bolt Action I am building for an upcoming tournament, as a filler army.
I recently got hold of the 4 Ground Damaged Detached building 1, I really like the pre-painted pieces of terrain, I am not sure why, as I hate pre-painted miniatures, but the terrain works for me. That doesn’t mean I wont repaint it at all.
Firstly a big thanks to Tyler for the series on Muskets and Tomahawks, it was a big help as I went through surgery and gives all of us a chance to read well constructed articles that don’t ramble on like mine tend too, about one of the most colourful and fun periods to game in. I do wounder if Tyler would like to do a series on Bolt Action at some point, as Tyler dips his toe in to 28mm WW2. I am back now and we are off to a running start, while recovering I had a chance to catch up on some new and old projects. So here is the first.
Rubicon Models released their Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer, well I had to have one, not only because it is a cool model, but because I really wanted to do a force for Bolt Action with Hetzers in it.
As soon as I got my hands on one I had to review the kit, and here are, my Rubicon Models Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer Review.
My Bolt Action Army played well in the VBAL last weekend, it however could of been better, I did sink a lot of points in to two anti-tank guns that could have been better used. The season 3 dot net changes also meant that some weapons are not as effective as they once were.
The Victorian Bolt Action League held by the Bolt Action Alliance crew, kicks off today with 1250 point comp at Games Lab in Melbourne, and I am there, with my DAK.
I picked up the Rubicon Models M4A3 Sherman kit some time ago, I have finally had a chance to sit down and build this kit.
I am always impressed with the amount of options that Rubicon Models packs into each kit. It is something I look forward to each time I build one of these kits.
I had the chance to get models from both company’s, so I am racing them in my first ever 1 v 1 test.
Having started the Russians I couldn’t say no to T-34/85’s so here we go as we test both kits to see which one win’s out on the first ever Floppy’s Model Kit Challenge.
Wargames Factory WW2 Russians, were part of the Kickstarter package for WW2 Assault I looked at last week. It has been a long time since I looked at the Wargames factory products as the last time they were very very bad.
I am happy to say that I am very impressed with this product. It is a really nice surprise to see what has changed over the years.
Adepticon 2015 part 2, I played in two comps Epic Armageddon, and Bolt Action Tank Wars. Both were a lot of fun, I have known the Epic Community here in the US for a long time, but until now I had never made the time to play with them.
As for Bolt Action well this was my first event, my first game and it was a load of fun.
Adepticon 2015 part 1, I finally have time to sit down and write about my experiences. I finally got to be a con attendee and just spend time walking around talking to people who allow us to experience events like this.
I did a lot over the four days of the con so this is going to be broken up in to two or three articles, there was way too much to do for me to fit it all in one article.
Adepticon is just a week out, I have almost finished all my painting. Or at least I would have if everything had arrived.
I missed last year so this year I am really looking forward to Adepticon again.
I had the Pak40 on the table at the same time as the 88, really I should have finished these along time ago, but the lack of motivation was a killer.
The 8.8cm Flak 36, this models is by Blitzkrieg, the crew are Perry Brothers. There is great pleasure in working on great models.
I started work some time ago on a Bolt Action platoon of Warlord Games Kradschutzen. Motorcycle troops were all around the early and mid periods of the North Africa theater. These troops were the fast moving Infantry and recon for the desert DAK forces.
I have been working on a Warlord Games Panzer IIc for Bolt Action.
The Warlord Games Panzer IIc I have is a resin model with left and right Track, Hull, and Turret. with metal Barrels for the MG and 2cm main-gun.
Overall the quality is fantastic. I wish I had of started this blog back when I was first cleaning and assembling it, for photos. Like with all resin models I get I clean with warm soapy water to remove any mold release and other residue from casting, then dry fit everything before I start with paint.
