NAC from Ground Zero Games

At Warfare in Reading a couple of weeks ago I bought a NAC starter pack from Ground Zero Games along with a couple of extra vehicles and a couple packs of power armour troopers.

The figures were nice sculpts with some mould lines and were painted with vellejo paints, Iraqi sand on the uniforms heavily washed with some of the new gameworkshop washes and then highlighted with the Iraqi sand.

These are a pack of Saw gunners.


The Vehicles are nice sculpts too and went together well.
Here's a 'Halftrike' followed by a 'Mini-Mule


I also have a Bulldog 4-wheel HMTV (High Mobility Transport Vehicle), open, with tribarrel autocannon mount painted, based and ready to photograph, Hope to have it on here tomorrow.

Christmas tree and decorations are calling !

A religious experience

Here's a base of an Essex Carroccio and some praying monks. I originally started this in the late 90's but only got as far as the waggon, I didn't like the way the wood colour appeared and the purple cloth didn't go well with it.
I've been looking at it every so often thinking what can I do and then I tried some white and repainted the wood with a new pot and it worked . The colour on the monks brown habits came out too dark after I sprayed the matt varnish on, but I like the whole effect now.

Phileas

I thought I'd add a picture or two of an Ironclad Minatures 28mm Figure -Phileas.
He was a lovely figure to paint though I wish I'd paintd his coat in a darker colour to show of the brass work on his back and arms.

Hope you enjoy

And it's Warfare this weekend in Reading. This is one of may favourite wargames events - a good size show but not too big. Plenty of traders and some nice games too.
I'll be there Sunday.

The last of the Sanwar

I finally finished the mounted Sanwar on his lizard mount. I decided to go for greens for the lizard - not in keeping with the Sanwars but green it is.





And here's a group shot of the completed team. Hope you enjoy.

Thanks for taking a look. Dan

Essex Vikings

I managed to get the camera to focus - (amazing what a spray can will do - steady's my shaking hand).
Here's a couple of pics of a beached boat.
 

 and here's one of a viking and his captives.

More Sanwar warriors

It's been a bit quiet on my bogging front over the last month though on the painting side things are progressing (albeit slowly). Here's another 8 of the Sanwar warriors. That just leaves a lizard warrior on his trusty mount. Not sure of the colours but I think something a bit brighter for both.


I've also been busy with some 15mm Essex vikings and they're nearly done and if I can get my camera to focus I'll have some pictures on soon.
