LAM (4) – Her Majesty’s Task Force

Rusti — Wed, 09 May 2012 12:43:18 +0000

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 [...]

BUF (3) – Command

Rusti — Wed, 09 May 2012 12:23:03 +0000

I’ve been wanting to add this command group for a while, so I’m really glad to have finished them. The models are great and lots of fun to paint. I added a spare British Regular command figure and just painted him in BUF colors. I think it’s fair to assume that he might have had [...]

Mohawks (5) – Warpaint Time

Rusti — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 12:02:10 +0000

So, I’ve had these lads sitting around for some time. I currently have 120ish models from the Galloping Major and that includes NO doubles of the same figure. Pretty impressive. When I began to order from the Major, I made a small purchase and decided I love them then made a larger purchase, which happened [...]

Dark Judges Group Photo

I just realized I didn’t put up a group photo when I finished my Dark Judges last week. Here it is.

Judge Fire and Judge Fear – Dark Judges (2)

Rusti — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 13:17:28 +0000

This is the second round of Dark Juges. I really like the Judge Fire figure but the Judge Fear figure leaves me a little cold. I wasn’t really inspired while working on it and it shows I think. I tried to strip the paint from Clix figure but that didn’t work, so I just primed [...]

Rolls Royce 1920 MK 1

Rusti — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 20:23:00 +0000

I found a nice vehicle to accompany my British troops in the IWI or VBCW. It’s a very nice Rolls Royce 1920 MK1. It’s from Company B, but at the time that I ordered it they were out of stock and I had to order from Brigade Games. This was a tricky model to put together, luckily [...]

Fresh B’Hoys – IRA (3)

Rusti — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 15:20:56 +0000

Just finished popping the paint on some new B’hoys. This is the second group of the Musketeer IRA Advancing models that I painted. I swear I ordered the IRA Shotguns pack, but I’ll roll with it. I’m going to need multiple packs of each before the end. I’ve tried to paint each group with [...]

Judge Death and Judge Mortis – Dark Judges (1)

Rusti — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 14:46:45 +0000

I have been eying these models for a long time, but never really got around to ordering them. That is until I saw the awesome work going on over at Sho3box, he’s done a fantastic job showing off his work on various Judge Dredd models. It gave me the inspiration and push I needed to [...]

British Regular Painting Guide

Rusti — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 20:06:48 +0000

This is mostly for my own reference, but hopefully it will serve to help others who start out clueless. The following paint scheme should work for the Irish War of Independence, the British Expeditionary Force in WW2, and a Very British Civil War. All colors are Vallejo Model Color. I’m also using the following for [...]

British Regulars (2)

Rusti — Sat, 03 Mar 2012 19:31:14 +0000

I’m becoming quite addicted to these Musketeer Miniatures. It seems they are incredibly fun to paint, I just wish there was less cleanup involved in the process. It seems that the mold lines take quite a bit of work to get rid of, and there are some blemishes on many faces that I dare not [...]
