Settlers Defending (2)

Rusti — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 21:31:51 +0000

This is my second group of Settlers Defending from the Galloping Major. His figures continue to get better and better. I enjoyed painting these guys even more than I enjoyed painting the last lot. The addition of the vests added a lot of detail and interest into the figures. I really like the way [...]

Judges (3)

Rusti — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 04:42:22 +0000

This is my third set of Judges and they just keep getting more fun to paint. These are some of the most over-the-top figures I’ve painted yet. I mean the badge on the SJS Judge is rediculous, but for some reason with Judge Dredd around, it doesn’t seem to phase me. This group also contains [...]

Settlers Defending (1)

Rusti — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 03:24:18 +0000

These guys are the first of my Anglo American Settlers from Galloping Major Wargames. There is another pack on my painting table as I write this. This group is all in shirt sleeves with a mottly looking assortment of equipment. The vast majority of the encounters in the FIW were border skirmishes between Indians and [...]

I’m Kickstarting a Miniature Range

Rusti — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 12:56:43 +0000

I’m not sure everyone knows, but I’m kickstarting a miniature range called Crossover Miniatures. I’ve got a fantastic sculptor, Soapy Dormer, who is immensly talented with lots of great ideas. We’ve come up with some greens to show off on our kickstarter page. I just wanted to get the message out there to anyone who [...]

Reaper Supers

Rusti — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 12:47:35 +0000

I’ve been on a bit of a Super Hero kick for a while now, it’s just that I’ve been so busy on other things that I haven’t had a chance to post these pics. I haven’t even painted for about three weeks now and that hasn’t happened since my twin daughters were newly born, I [...]

English Regulars, BUF, IRA, and Eddie

Rusti — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 13:06:05 +0000

I have been wanting to paint this lot for some time. All of the models are from the Musketeer Miniatures Interwar and WW1 ranges, with one exception. The figure of Edward is a freebie given away at a British wargames show called Partizan. A very nice gentleman sent it to me, thank you again sir. [...]

Captain America and The Red Skull

Rusti — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 19:07:42 +0000

I haven’t blogging recently, but I’ve been Super Busy! (get it?) Anyway, I received these guys quite some time ago, two I paid dearly for and the other two I received for doing a little web consulting. Since painting some Foundry Judge Dredd figures a while ago, I’ve been getting into painting loud costumes and [...]

Carnage 2011

Rusti — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 15:33:54 +0000

I recently attended Carnage on the Lake in Eastern Vermont. It’s the only real convention in my home state and the only one that under three hours of driving. There seems to be some sort of family emergency or sickness (once ended up with a 2 year old in the hospital the day before) that [...]

Judges (2)

Rusti — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 14:41:00 +0000

I’ve finally worked up some more Judges. After deciding that I was going to do them in pairs so I had something to show on a regular basis, I went a different way. I prepped and primed all four because it saved some work, then I thought, well I might as well paint all [...]

Black and Tans (1)

Rusti — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 12:26:34 +0000

I painted these Black and Tans from Musketeer Miniatures a while ago, but finally snapped the photos this morning. They were a bit flashier than I’m used to but cleaned up well. They were fun to paint, but I’m a sucker for puttees. I couldn’t really figure out what color exactly to paint the RIC [...]
