My new blogging system¶

Welcome to my new Blog!

I now moved from Blogger to my own server, blogging by writing locally in Common Mark and publishing with a mix of php, python and bash scripts.

Now I have total control over my blogging activity :-)


[Weird War II]¶
German Mad Doctor and his Zombie creations¶

The rest of the models is done except the Dr. and the grass on the bases:

The green hoses didn't look so good after all, so I repainted them in grey.

[Warfork 40.000 - Rogue Rules]¶
Squat Stunty Scout¶

A chance find recently on ebay, this lovely little one just had to be bought :-) A blast from the past.

He will support my Brotherhood sappers I finished recently.


[Modern]¶
Shotgun Joe¶

While looking for miniatures I could use to convert to 40,000 militia/gangers, I thought I could give the WWII american infantry from Warlord Games a try, as they could be easily converted. I ordered one model through Mega Bitzshop to check on its size. Luckily I did so, because the model is way too small compared to GW, probably 25mm vs 32mm scale.

So I decided to use the model as an addition to my modern characters. I cut away all the webbing and the obviously WWII style boots.

I then used putty to resculpt the areas into plain cloth.

The shotgun arm I left off for ease of painting.


[Modern]¶
Characters¶

The first three characters are done, Harby and the twins. I am especially proud of the SWAT twin, as I did not think I could paint a black model in so many different shades.


[Weird War II]¶
German Mad Doctor and his Zombie creations¶

I highlighted the skin with dead flesh and the bandages with white. The eyes and teeth were painted white, as were the skulls on some of the models where the skin already rottet away.

The bone and teeth will get a brownish wash. I am unsure if I will leave the eyes as is or add a wash to give them a more defined outline.


[Modern]¶
Mercenaries¶

The mercenaries are done. The shotgun was glued to the side of the model, the string over the shoulder is made from a painted towel, strengthened with watered down PVA glue.


[Blogger]¶
Google ate my pics¶

It happened again - several pictures have dissappeared from my blog - and I do not know why...

Probably it is something I did in a Google app, but I have no clue. A system which cannot protect pictures used in published blog posts repeatedly, I will trust no longer, though. Or at least I will not trust my apparent inability to use it properly.

I will look for a new blog engine.

I highlighted the uniform with German Fieldgrey WWII.
