Flexible ‘Big Men’ for TFL Games

I’ve been a big fan of Too Fat Lardies for quite some time.  I really like how their games center around ‘Big Men’ and their effect on the battle field.  That being said, I’ve never found a way to mark the Big Men models, for game plays sake, that I’ve been happy with.  Some folks [...]

More 1812 Figures to the Front

I’ve been beavering away for the past few weeks, but with no camera to show progress.  Well, I’ve got the camera back now and here are the fruits of my labors. A few shots of the beginning of my 21st US Infantry Regiment.  They are coming along nicely, I have 11 painted (5 command still [...]

Scott’s Brigade

I’ve got a few of my Knuckleduster War of 1812 figures painted now.  So it’s time to show them off a bit, even though I still have a bit of static grass to add to the bases.  As these are my first ranked up 28mm figures, I’ve been doing a little playing around. I have [...]

Anglo-American Provincials

Ahhh, a chance to paint The Galloping Major’s miniatures again.  These are the guys that I’ve missed the most on my break from historical minis.  I’ve been watching people paint them and biding my time, well, I finally ordered them.  First impression of the figures is that they are cracking!  Great character and lots of [...]

1812 Here I come

I’ve had my eye on the War of 1812 for some time.  I even thought I had a chance to play Lasalle and have a game of War of 1812 at the same time once.  It was not to be, but I’ve been left with a desire to get into the conflict in a big [...]

More Lads – IRA (4)

Just finished a few more lads for the good fight.  I’ve painted all these poses before, just trying to keep the paint schemes separate enough to keep them all unique looking.

Cangames, New Buildings, and a Bad Guy

So I’ve been slow in posting things recently due to life in general.  I’ve still been plugging away at my painting, it’s just that I’m not posting it as soon as it’s finished.  It’s mostly due to putting too many things on the painting table.  Unless I have I current project and ONLY one other [...]

LAM (5) – Royal Hunters

Just finished another couple of the fantastic Lead Adventure Miniatures figures, this time the Royal Hunters.  Lots of fun to paint as usual.

Black and White Zombies (2)

I’ve been aquiring Mantic Zombies for a  while now and somehow they never seem to get to the front of the paint queue.  There always seems something I’d rather be doing.  Mostly, they seem  time consuming for something that will appear in hordes and is really never in center stage.  They are impressive due to [...]

LAM (4) – Her Majesty’s Task Force

I just finished these lads up.  I’m a huge fan of the British figures in the Lead Adventure Miniatures 1881 line.  They are a bit intimidating due to the amount of detail and general awesomeness of the figures.  I’m really happy with the lad with the fury coat, but I’d have like to have chosen [...]
