Defender Mark II¶

A buddy bought a BattleTech fan product, and asked me to magnetize and paint it for him. The mode is a THK-Design Defender Mark II. So far, I cleaned all the parts of flash.

HOD Marauder II¶

In our ongoing BattleTech campaign, our unit bought two Marauder II for which I had no models. So, after ~10 years, these two are my first BattleTech models I paint.

For bases, I used War Bass' Hexagonal Bases (3mm/30mm), drilled a hole in the middle and glued a 5mm rare earth magnet in place for later storage.

All the joints were pinned with paper clips for added stability.

Town House WD131¶

The painting on the fourth house is done. For the stones I used 3 different colours (grey, grey green, light brown), but mixed them as well, for more variety.

They were then drybrushed in a light grey and all the seams blackwashed. The upper walls were painted in sand colours, the timbers a dark brown, the shingles bordeaux red; all this followed by several washes.

All the windows on the buildings so far were painted just black to keep in line with the style of the old White Dwarf buildings. This looked awful with the panneled shop window, so with that one I used blues to represent glass.

Finally, the shop sign had the word book written on it.

As with the first, second and third building, I will apply some flock to represent moss, apart from that the model is done.

Town House WD131¶

The painting on the third house is done. The timbers where painted a dark reddish brown. The walls where painted in brown. The roof was painted anthracite grey.

The walls were then overbrushed in brown yellow.

The roof was washed black, drybrushed in the basecolour. Individual shingles were then picked out in umber green and brown washes.

Finally, the roof was drybrushed in the base colour highlighted with white. The walls where drybrushed in ivory, then several washes were applied to walls and timbers.

As with the first and second buildings, I will apply some flock to represent moss, apart from that the model is done.

The painting on the second house is done. The timbers where painted a dark brown. The walls where painted in anthracite grey. The roof was painted black.

The roof was then overbrushed in dark red, single shingles picked out in lighter red and a few in light red mixed with orange.

The walls where stippled towards the center with umber green, then more centered white. The timber was drybrushed in two shades of grey. I then applied some washes; finally the roof was drybrushed from bottom to top lightly in ivory.

As with the first, I will apply some flock to represent moss, apart from that the model is done.

Town House WD131¶

The painting on the first house is done. I started by painting the timbers, liberally overspilling the paint to cover all the gaps between timbering and the house. For this I mixed burnt umber with black. The roof was painted black.

I then painted the walls in ochre, the windows in black.

The roof was drybrushed in blues in several stages. Some shingles were left darker, others were hightlighted to quite a light shade. I then used different brown, black and blue washes on different shingles. Then the whole models was drybrushed in ivory; walls, timbering and shingles.

To tone down the stark drybrush effect, I applied brown, green and black washes (all from the Vallejo model range) to the model, and applied a final drybrush of very light white to the center areas of the walls.

After all buildings have been painted, I will apply some flock to represent moss, apart from that the model is done.

Turf War Z¶

I joined this Kickstarter on 6th May, choosing the True Believer pledge for £215.00 - which is quite a lot. It gives you access though to:

Two complete Gang Starter Sets of your choice
the Printed version of the Rulebook
the PDF version of the Rulebook
the FREE Kickstarter miniature
Twenty plastic multi-part zombies
you will receive ONE copy of EVERY item unlocked during the campaign (this includes all miniatures, buildings and terrain items)!

The last point was very tempting, especially as some of the higher stretch goals really caught my interest - but I watched it very closely, if it would not have taken off as it did, I would have withdrawn my pledge - but as things are - this will be money well spent :-)

Town House WD131¶

The last house is done.

I still had to do the business sign on the first house; I decided for it to be a book shop. So I carved an open book from balsa wood and created a chain it could dangle from from copper wire.
