Some more vehicles for Bolt Action

Up next we got some vehicles that I painted last year for Operation Sting.  Again, I never got around to posting anything involving them, so I'm rectifying that.  I believe both models are resin.  The Kubelwagen has some metal parts to it, but is primarily resin.

So up first we have my Panzer III model.

I really like the look of this tank.  This is one of my favorite models I've done for Bolt Action and was a lot of fun to paint.  I think it came out really good and I'm very happy with it.

Up next we got my Kubelwagen, lets take a look....

This model kit was a pain in the ass to build.  Lots of little fiddly bits and if you know anything about Warlord games, they're not the best with directions on they're resin models.  I think I glued my hands to this model like 5 times.  Painting wise, it came together pretty well.  I'm happy with how it turned out.  Trying to paint the driver was a bit tricky.  I also would've liked it if they would've given me a glass or something in the kit to put in for the windshield instead of having a blank space.  Sure, I could put together something, but I'm not going to.

That's it for today, thanks for checking it out.

Weird Science!!!

In keeping up with my backlog of photos of miniatures I've painted that I said I was going to post, I present you today with some photos of monsters I did for my German Konflikt 47' army.

Up first, we have 4 of my "Nachjager".  I'm not sure what a "Nachjager" is, but they kind of remind me of the main monster in the movie Pan.  You know, the dude with the eyes in his hands.  Anyway, here they are....

They were pretty interesting to paint.  A lot of dry brushing and glazing to get the transitions to look good.  I went a little heavier than I wanted to go with the blood, but I think they look pretty cool.  They're also a terror to behold on the battlefield.  My only issue with these models is there are only two poses.  I think at least one more pose would've been nice.  I do dig the head with part of the spine in the one pose.

Next we have my German Werewolves which are called Schreckwulfen.  I thought the models looked pretty cool, so I painted up two blister packs.  Here's what I got...

I kind of did my own thing with these guys.  I didn't want them to all look the same, so I broke them up into 3 groups of 2 and tackled the unit that way.  It was fun to paint different types of colors for skin tones that you normally don't paint as skin.  I'm also pretty sure the same guy sculpted both the Schreckwulfen and the Nachjagers based on the feet.  Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed the photos.

Send in the reinforcements

These models I actually have painted rather recently.  When I put together my list for Operation Sting 2017, I noticed there was a small gap of models I was missing in order to bring my list to full strength.  So I got to painting and finished about 2 weeks ahead of the tournie.

First up is a model I've had floating around my room for some time.  I was debating on bringing it last year for Operation Sting.  That didn't happen, so I'm going to bring it this year.  Here is my Sd.Kfz.250/9 Neu 2cm Recce Half-Track.  Yup, that was a mouthful.

It was a fun little model to paint.  Not much more I can say about it.  I'm hoping it'll be effective on the battlefield and not get shot up the first turn.

Next we got some dudes.  A machine gun team, a rifle team, and a random scrub with a rifle.

I have to admit, I'm getting a little bored painting these germans.  I have a pretty sizable army and I still have a lot of guys that need to be painted.  Not sure what I'm trying to say.  I guess I'm just tired of painting germans.

That'll be it for today.  Thanks for checking it out.

Some H.E. for Konflikt 47' and Bolt Action

I'm a bad person.  I was recently looking in my picture archive on my desktop and I realized I've taken a ton of photos of models I've painted, but never actually posted anything.  Then I let you guys sit all summer thinking I'm dead or quit the hobby and yeah.

Today, I'm going to start to rectify it.  I painted these two models almost a year ago.  Up first is my Spinemech for Konflikt 47'.

The Spinemech model was actually my prize from Operation Sting last year.  I think I ended up putting it together and painting it the night I won it.  It's pretty easy to paint and a lot of fun to throw on the battlefield.

Next, it's going to be cross between Konflikt 47' and Bolt Action.  It's the Panzer IV with an augmented weapon to make it a Panzer X.  Take a look...

And what is pretty cool with this model, you pop off the gravity gun on the top and put on the original gun and it becomes a Panzer IV.

I'll admit it, I had a ton of trouble painting the Panzer X/IV model.  I was experimenting with some colors as I wanted the green to be a bit more vibrant than I usually do on BA vehicles and I just couldn't get the color palette I was looking for.  I ended up probably putting 10 different types of base colors on this model.  I'm surprised any of the detail actually showed up honestly.  I think all-in-all it turned out pretty good.

Like I said previously, I'm going to start posting more photos of my back-log..... try to beef this blog up a little for this year.
