Charge me up!

Is your Iron Horse running a bit slow... running down on its RJ-1027 fuel source?

Well, just head on over to your nearest charging station, and it will have you back up to speed in a jiffy!

This is a fun little kit that Lathan made after seeing the charging stations I made using the leftover punch outs and pieces from other Burn in Designs kits.

It was scaled to work with all the light supports... Blackjacks, Dust Cutters, Interceptors, you name it!

The view from above shows the station with the boardwalk sections.  I can't wait to work on the new ones!

Deputy Beringer of the Lawmen seems to be taking charge of the situation as well.

It was fun to get some toasty RJ glow in this version of the charging station.

The store and wagons are also Burn in Designs kits.

Still much more to come for Wappelville!!! Stay tuned.

Bobbies!

As you have already seen several times, I want to use these Artizan Miniatures western figures as NPC deputies for our Wild West Exodus games.

When we do scenarios such as the huge brawl in the massive gaming hall, these additional figures will increase the mayhem even more!!

The Age of Iron

Here's some paint on the latest steampunk style bases.

These were made by pressing sculpey into Happy Seppuku moulds, and by adding some sprues and plastic gears.

Normally I make the conduits the same color as the metal plates, but I wanted to try something a little bit different this time.

This was a fun set, and there are many more to come.  Those will be incorporating the leftover pieces from Burn In Designs kits.

The plastic gears are a fun element, and they look really interesting with a miniature on the base.  It gives you eye something to compare the figure with in terms of scale.

These bases were designed for miniatures with larger footprints.  That seems to be the case with a lot of the Z-Brush engineered miniatures.

I might still go back into these with some weathering powders, but that will wait until the weather would allow me to dullcoate those!

Stay tuned for many more of the Age of Iron bases!!!

From the Red Box...

Now that I have had a chance to shoot some photos of the Red Box Games marauders, I have been able to get some images ready for blog posts!

There are a few different poses in the group, including these archers.

Many more on the way!

Grant the Butcher?

Hideously scarred from the tragic fire which killed his family (the nefarious work of the Dark Council, most likely), General Grant takes the field once again.

Nothing will stop him in his quest for vengeance against the evil Dr. Carpathian.

One thing remains the same about Unconditional Surrender Grant, however... and that is the diusty private's coat which he still wears.

Charging into action in a Wild West town near you!!!

Marble and bark

We have a few larger bases for you today.  These are between 50 and 60 mm.

Each one features a little something that I have developed over the last year.

There's some bark and branch, some marble, and the broken column made of sculpey.

These two bases are for those Demigods figures that I have profiled recently.

The view from above lets you see a bit of the marble patterns.

I think those are my two favorite patterns!  Enjoy!!

Concept to mini to painting!

Here's a painted example of a Miniature 13 figure.  They have created some very nice sci-fi miniatures as part of their recent kickstarter.

I had a lot of fun making a base to match the conduits that were part of the actual miniature.

There were plenty of fun details!

Here's a little comparison of the concept art to the painted figure.
