Fallout... its coming

Fallout New Vegas Video Game... Post Apocalyptics

We jump through projects fairly fast, but this is a teaser of my latest project inspiration... all thanks to Krugers kreations aka Jas and

here's the work in progress below

My 6x4 desert battleboard, I use this terrain style for many of my systems;

6mm Moderns IDF and Iraq/Syria

28mm Moderns Afghan, Middle East

28mm Ancients Palmyra, Romans (East), Greeks/Macedon

28mm Crusaders

15mm FOW Afrika, 6 Day War etc.

Gorkamorka/Ash Wastes

and now Fallout

 

Plan for Fallout is to build a smashed up overpass/highway with shantyville underneath, maybe the odd vault entrance

some cars from toyworld; 1950s, the one on the left is my new favourite car...

The Tucker Torpedo!!!! (and a Chevy)... still plenty to do!

 

Zombies on Friday... woop woop!

Flames of War Day of Days and Polish AK

First post of my large (ish) Flames of War collection. This is a small portion of my German Army and also a WIP on my Polish AK which I haven't touched for at least a year. I have lots of other stuff but too much for one post!
To be honest, when V3 came along finally, I got I bit jaded and perhaps lost some interest in playing the system... but I'm back!
With Day of Days doubles tournament looming and thousands of dollars of figures just sitting there, there was always an intention to be back playing flames again at some point.

We (Jason and I were pencilled in to play together this year) are going to field the 21st Panzer in some form, so of course neither of us have any of the funnies yet but Jas really wants a 21st Army for late War anyway so this time I'll be using someone else's troops... at least we have plenty of time to paint them.

 (And in doing so I can lend these if anyone out there would like to play but have Russians or whatever, I have other stuff that isn't pictured here)

POLISH AK (Home Army- Warsaw uprising- Battalion Zoska part of group Radoslaw)

These guys are a work in progress like I mentioned earlier. Of all the partisan fighters of ww2 I love these guys the most, all they ever wanted was their own country, language, culture and religious freedom... and they had to endure some of the most horrible things/crimes committed by the Nazis... in the end the uprising failed and the oppression continued long after the German presence by way of the Russian occupation and inclusion into communist USSR. I would like to say that I am glad that today they have their own nation to call their own. This force represents and honours those who stood for what was right and sacrificed so much, for Poland.

 

HQ with Kedyw platoons, the objective slips are hand painted, the left one is the Jewish resistance flag/badge (common jewish symbol that evolved into the Israeli flag) and the other on the right is the handsewn embroidered badge of their Battalion

The Armour- captured Panthers (Magda and Pudel). These blew apart the guard towers of the Jewish labour camp and freed the Jewish prisoners, many of them joined the unit to fight the Germans.

 

Next is all the stuff I have started but haven't finished in order of what I have done the most work on

LOTS AND LOTS of infantry and guns, in fact, I have enough to build about 3500points, much of it is not even based up yet

Objectives and Hetzer(not Zoska but another Baon)

 box of based up but not painted (you get the idea, its going to be a long project!) I'll take my time and do spurts as I get inspiration, I've been told I am NOT allowed to sell these!

Thanks for looking,

constructive feedback welcome

Ork Fort finished... Gorkamorka

So the most fun project I've been doing for ages has continued despite the lack of interest (seemingly) in this great game! Building Orky stuff is actually therapeutic I'm sure.
Here is the Ork Fort mostly finished, I was yarning to Jas (Krugers Kreations) about how to best do all the rivets, in the end I thought to myself "yawn... who could be bothered!" and carried on and painted it without any at all. Its Orky enough for now but maybe one day I'll get inspired to cut a few hundred rivets from plastic dowels and glue them on with tweezers but its not looking likely!
Mob two is still being created and looking pretty good. I have had inspiration via the web to build some boats, floating forts, jetskis, islands and barges... again free download on the rules so everyone wins! Thanks guys! Also big thanks to Kenric for gifting me with so many Ork (and otherwise) bits... hope you get some good painting/gaming time in in Japan mate.

Frontal shot, I chose not to have a gate on this one and I was going to build an extra story/watchtower section but in the end left both out, I need me some magnets to make the extras work and will probably build them separate as add-on pieces

Mek shop

Junkyard

rear wall

 

So there it is, hope you enjoy and get inspired to make more stuff from spare bits

  

GORKAMORKA!!!

Waaaagh!! Well I mentioned that I got some Orks in my last post, then I got really busy kitbashing, converting and painting. Here is the first mob all finished! Wow... even I can't believe I finished something!
Thanks to all the Orky People out there who posted stuff and gave me ideas... still got another mob to make so concepts are welcome.
This was so fun as a project and I'm totally into the concept of it all.

The Trukk with Skorcha

Splat!

 

Orkboy with Kannon

Slaver

Grot

Spanna#2

Ork Boy with slugga and Kannon

The Big bad Nob

Whole mob mounted up

 

This is a 150 point start up mob (but I can take it down to 100 if I want)

Next up is the other mob of 150 points and then a Ork outpost/mine/mekshop/fort... perfect for my desert terrain.

 

I'm loving the resurgence of 40k stuff out there, but especially that most of what I've seen isn't actually for 40K (the game)... hmmm perhaps because these can be picked up in trades at bargain prices like $20 plus a few skiffed bits from friends bitz boxes.... Come on everybody share the love... you know you are never going to use the bits anyhow!!!

Go the skirmish games... bring back the fun!

Progress- LOTR and SAGA Terrain plus Crusaders

I decided a while back that I needed some new LOTR terrain and I stumbled on Hirst Arts by googling stuff. At first I thought that making the monsterous ruined watchtower thing was the way to go but settled instead on this instead after getting sick of plaster pouring.

 

The theme is Woodlands stone ruins somewhere in Mirkwood. I had trouble adding the trees to the piece above so when I do that, it'll be finished.

I have Elves and DolGuldur themed armies so this should hopefully look great with them... especially the Elves.

 

Below are some in-progress shots of my next pieces which will look similar in style to the one above

Perhaps an Elven outdoor bbq

This is the ruined stables, the piece with the columns will be a watering pool... still contemplating on whether I should add a second story over that bit.

Two story ruins

The floor is just 3mm MDF board which I took to with one of those cool new multi-tools (like a Renovator) and washed it brown... simple yet effective.

One of my 3 molds, I think I got 70 and 75 and the basic building blocks molds, after doing about 13 runs of each I still have heaps of leftover blocks... which can only mean one thing... I HAVE to make more terrain!

My Crusader Army is started but progress has become a bit slow. This unit of Templar Knights is painted though. Its been such a fun army to build, I love the kitbashing side of it. The flags are not paper... I make mine from the blister boxes clear plastic, cut to shape, heat with a lighter and bend them up how you want, superglue, paint, done! they are really durable as they have some flex and you can get some really good kinks that are hard to get with paper ones.

Based on 8cm Frontage Impetus bases

These were fun to make, I didn't even know what Turcopoles were till I saw them in the list and googled it. I have hardout kitbashed them and I think they came out really well, need to finish painting them though. I did a unit of Syrian archers too but I didn't get a pic sorry, perhaps when I finish them!

more stuff, my Onager Jas (Kruger) gave me with the crossbow units

And I have finished at least one thing!!!! my SAGA feasting hall. The thatched roof comes off, its fairly big, I just need say 3 thatched huts to go around it.

 

I have a few 40KOrks in the post, couldn't resist- $20NZD! I've never been into 40K at all BUT when I was young I really liked looking at White Dwarf GorkaMorka pics, I thought it was the coolest thing ever! so 20 years on, I thought I'd give it a crack or a bash or Waaaaghtever.

 

So that's me... sooo much to do, so little time ;)
