Boxing match

Here's another of the Red Box Games figures.

This current batch are metal, by the way.

More to come, so stay tuned!

Busted!

Hey folks!  This is something truly different for me... a first time event!

This spectacular bust from Infamy Miniatures will be the first bust that I have ever painted.  It's going to be so much fun, because Infamy puts some serious craftsmanship into their figures.

There's a link to their facebook page at the end of this post.  When you check out the pictures of the renders on that page, you can be sure that all the details you see in those images directly translates to the actual casts.  Wow!

Not only are the details super crisp and well rendered, the consistency of the resin is very nice.  It is silky, resilient, and not brittle in the least.

I have been prepping a number of them over the last week, and they have been among the easier to prep resin figures... very impressive!

I'm sure that there will be a lot of unique challenges to approaching a bust, so I truly look forward to this.  Obviously there will be a lot of glowing effects!

You can check out their page here, and see what kind of spectacular figures that Infamy has created.  There will be more posts coming that show 54mm and 32mm scale versions.

Incredible!!

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!!!
