Shelfville, the project continues

Next terrain piece for Shelfville, also from the Baccus/Timecast ACW set. Purchase of the actual book case where Shelfville will reside has been moved forward and the entire project is faaaar behind schedule, but it is not standing completely still.

Even more Soviets

More Winter War Soviets from Sgts Mess. As with all the figures in this set, they are no very impressive at all up close, but they do paint up well and look good on the table.

Crap pics of cool minis

I set up a scene with all my Dust minis in front of the house from Cerberus to take some pics. Did not work out at all, light was completely off and I don't know how to compensate for that with the settings on my camera so I'll do it again when I have more painted stuff. In the mean time, this will have to do.

The whole gang

The Death Dealers

The Grenadiers

And a bit of a late edit: the light of my life took a few pics with her camera. More skill, better camera, better picture!

My first walker for Dust Tactics. There will be more for sure. This was a wonderful piece to paint for several reasons:

1, it comes assembled and primed right out of the box

2, it's an incredibly cool-looking model

3, even though it's pre-assembled, it can be taken apart ( the body comes off the legs and the weapons are interchangeable) for easy access during painting and basing.

Next up is the other walker that came in the Dust Tactics Revised set, the Blackhawk.
Oh, and I should perhaps add that the text on the side is the battle cry of the Panzergrenadiere:

„Dran! Drauf! Drüber!“ bedeutet sinngemäß „Ran an den Feind, drauf auf den Feind, hinweg über den Feind“.

i e towards the enemy, into the enemy position and through the enemy. (better translations gratefully accepted, my school German is 25 years old and a lot rustier than Hans).

Or Hans to his friends.
Hans is not finished (he has no weapons, for one thing), this is just a teaser pic to get Laffe to take the plunge into Dust.

Revell LRDG Jeep

First British (Commonwealth actually, lots of folks from distant shores in the LRDG) vehicle for our LRDG project.

The vehicle is from the old Matchbox kit re-released by Revell and it reminded me that I don't really enjoy building plastic kits, at least not in Braille Scale. I am simply too old and ham-fisted for that kind of work. In future, I'll get some nice resin versions with very few parts.

Shelfville-the humble beginning

My plan for the year is to create a American Civil War terrain board in 6mm that will fit on a shelf in a book case and then play solo games of Terrible Sharp Sword from TooFatLardies on it. So far, I have four Union and one Confederate plus a barn for them to fight over. All bought from Baccus6mm although I believe the barn is actually produced by Time Cast for Baccus.
