In the good old days pirates were executed and their remains left hanging in port as a warning to others.

This man is nothing less than a parasitic thief. His claims to originality are disingenuous at best.

Vallejo Model Air 71.083 'Orange' and 71.130 'Orange Rust' don't entirely suck. They brush on too if airbrush isn't an option. And if you want them to pop more then I recommend a topwash of Citadel Casandora Yellow. That said, I've not tried their Fuegan Orange wash yet.

Results as follows;

There was a #miniatures painting contest over on the #DropfleetCommander FB group. I don't normally go in for a 'ships in space' Yamato vibe but it seemed like a nice opportunity to paint something different. If you're going to have a flat-top in space why not go the whole hog? Here's the Ark Royal!
A photo of a spaceship miniature from the game Dropfleet Commander. Overall the model is about 10cm long. The ship is rotund and grey and a little dumpy looking, with a long flat-top runway down two thirds of the hull length, and the bridge and citadel rising up behind the main hangar elevator. She is painted as a traditional Cold War era naval vessel, despite being a space craft! Her lower hull is red, with a horizontal black stripe and the pennant number 14 emblazoned on the side. The upper hull and citadel is light grey. The flight deck features five small space fighters, in Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm dark blue livery. The ship is worn and grimy and covered in soot and stains from long service. This photo is taken from off the starboard bow, and you can clearly see her navigation lights as well as the 'ball' lighting array for carrier landings.

This photo is taken from high on the starboard side, giving a clear view of the overall superstructure as well as the various markings on the flight deck. Navigation and running lights are visible, as well as the hazard-striped CWIS turrets. Near the engine thrusters there are also yellow hazard markings to warn launch assets, and spacemen, when they might be getting close to danger. The ship's radar domes are a bright gold in contrast to the oily sooty grey of the hull. Green starboard lights are also clearly visible on the citadel and hull.

This photo is taken from close on the port rear, giving a clear view of the citadel, engines, and the large smokestack-esque radiator directly behind the citadel. While this looks very much like the chimney on an oil or coal-fired ship, given that this is supposed to be an advanced spacecraft this is more likely some sort of magnetic radiator using cobalt dust or droplets which can be recovered after venting. The main engine array has a large 'DANGER' hazard warning painted on it, to ward off any light craft who manoeuvre too close to danger. This angle also shows off some more of the markings on the flight deck, including the main launch catapult. A photo of a spaceship miniature from the game Dropfleet Commander.

This photo is taken from close on bow, from above, as though taken from a just-launched, or just-landing member of the air wing. The full array of the landing light system is more visible, as is the air wing assembled on the flight deck. The fighters and bombers are dark blue, with FAA rondels on the wings, and golden cockpit canopies reminiscent of the gold-coated astronaut's helmet visors. This image also shows how tall the citadel is, rising up from the main hull in an extremely vibes-based and impractical approach to spaceship design.

Inspired by Evan Amundsen's artwork for an #Ravnica Azorius Knight Arbiter from #MTG, here's my Azorius paladin's steed from our Guilds of Ravnica #DnD campaign. Made from an #AoS Freeguild Cavalier as the base #miniature. Her name is Kaczkor, and she kicks arse.

Work continues on the #Gaslands Secret Santa. Using hairspray chipping for much of the rust weathering. Needs a matt varnish then mud and smoke and soot weathering to finish. Hope whoever gets her likes it!

Post something colourful.

*ominous clown music gets closer*
Time for some #Gaslands #miniatures methinks.
A photo of a Gaslands 1/64 scale miniature. The vehicle is a halftrack with a large wire mesh cage at the front, and an elevated cab at the rear made from a cut-and-shunt Spyder. Where the front bumper should be there is a large pair of gates and a raised drawbridge painted like a striped big top tent. The vehicle is white and covered in bright clown patterns and colours. Stripes and swirls of rainbow cover the strange looking machine like a harlequin dazzle pattern camouflage. On the rear, a clown mans a minigun. Inside the large mesh cage stand almost a dozen more clowns, bashing against the metal. They look like they’re howling to be unleashed. A photo of a Gaslands 1/64 scale miniature.

All in all it was a lot of fun to build, and the whole thing covered a good couple of square footage of table.
A shot of the wrecked midsection of the aircraft, with attached ruined starboard wing. A deep gouge can be seen where the wreckage ploughed through the grass beside the runway, including collapsed landing gear, and several cargo containers that were onboard at the time of the crash. A view of the nose section of the aircraft, including the debris trail spilled out behind it. The tail section is the only piece which remains on the runway. Now overgrown and long abandoned. The bright blue livery stands in contrast to the green and mottled tarmac and concrete of the airfield. A photo of the separated port wing, which was torn off during the crash landing. The wing is overrun with vines and foliage.

When I took this on, it was the most complex piece of terrain I'd ever built and I really wanted it to tell a story. Also as another nod to #Thunderbirds one of the civilian vehicles being carried at the time of the crash was a certain pink Rolls Royce, sadly crushed by scattered military equipment!
A close up of a ruined burned-out military vehicle, now covered in moss and greenery. The dark bronze and rust colours of the tanks on-board contrast nicely with the silver of the titanium and aluminium aircraft body. A closeup on the anti-aircraft damage that took down the airliner. I wanted this damage to be clearly different from that caused by the break-up and fire, so I concentrated on blast patterns including deep scarring in the metal.

I also made the tail section for the aircraft. I decided that the plane was shot down on final approach, taking damage in the rear, which caused it to crash short of the runway, then break up on impact. This would account for the relatively intact nature of each piece of wreckage.
The ruined tail of the aircraft, showing blast damage from the attack, including a ruptured 'atomic engine' on the tail. Huge creeping vines have grown up the tailfin which stands tall and surprisingly intact. Another photo of the ruined tail of the aircraft.

Because of the size of this terrain piece, I wanted to make some areas of detail and interest, so that there were hidden delights to explore, almost like a diorama. This included replacing the engines with more sci-fi futuristic ones, and also things like a deployed emergency slide.
A closeup of the deployed emergency slide and open door. the slide is bright yellow, and stands in contrast to the badly corroded and peeling paint job and silver airframe. Another photo of the deployed emergency slide. Deflated and limp with age. A closeup of the wing and engine where it has impacted the ground after the wheels collapsed. The engine is taken from a Revell Battlestar Galactica kit, but works well in scale with this 1/144 A380 kit.

The main body of the aircraft needed to be usable by bases of 10mm scale infantry, taking cover in the wreckage, so I hand built a deck of airline seats, now burned out and destroyed in a post-crash fire. Lots of #AirCrashInvestigations watching for source imagery.
A close up photo of the side of the main body of the wreck. Soot staining from the shattered windows can clearly be seen, as can a huge hole in the aircraft roof caused by the fire. The faded remains of the Air Terrainean livery can still be seen on the side. A photo showing the wrecked interior of the aircraft, filled with flattened and burned airline seats, and detritus from the collapsed roof section. Plants are beginning to grow in the environment, adding spots of green verdant colour to the otherwise blackened interior. A photo of the rear of the midsection showing where the hull has ripped open, and the passenger deck has given way. Wrecked seating and hull structure is visible through the hole, which reveals the cavernous cargo space in this multi-use aircraft. An exterior photo of the wrecked midsection, showing the ruined outer hull and wing of the aircraft, along with a large military vehicle which broke free from its container straps during the crash.

Today I wanted to share my favourite #miniatures #terrain project. A wrecked 10mm airliner for the #scifi #wargame #DropzoneCommander. This was a lot of fun, and inspired by the long-overgrown wrecks seen on Pacific islands. Again a subtle #Thunderbirds nod with the Air Terrainean paint scheme .

Since my #Gaslands #Thunderbirds mashup went down well, here's the other part of it! Terrorbird 3.

And what's that it's docked with? Who could possibly say! But it is the biggest thing I've ever made for Gaslands. So big that as a #miniature it's more like scenery than a usable vehicle!
A photograph of the International Wreck Crew Gaslands vehicle Terrorbird Three. The vehicle is a heavily converted Beetle with an enormous rocket chained to the roof, and skids instead of wheels. The rocket is painted bright red, with black accents and a white no.3 on the hull. It is very clearly a post-apocalyptic version of Thunderbird 3.

So two of my nerd loves are #thunderbirds and #gaslands and the first ever team I built for the game is a mashup of these two settings. Team International Wreck Crew features Terrorbirds Two and Four, and the Mole! These #miniatures were built from a Matchbox transporter and #HotWheels cars.
A photograph of the International Wreck Crew Gaslands team. Consisting of three minatures. The largest, Terrorbird Two, is a heavily converted car transporter with massive jet engines down each side, a large rear spoiler, and a futuristic raked cab at the front. Terrorbird Two is painted in green, with red and yellow accents, and a large white number two on the side of the trailer. This is clearly inspired by the iconic Thunderbird Two. In front of TB2 are the Mole and TB4. The Mole is tracked 1960s style small gas-tanker with an enormous tunnelling drill head at the front of the vehicle. The cab has been moved to the rear, and sits behind a set of massive exhausts. It is clearly inspired by the Mole from Thunderbirds, and is yellow with red accents and blue mudguards over the tracks. The third vehicle is Terrorbird 4. This is a version of Thunderbird 4 built from a Hot Wheels Adam West era Batmobile. It has added thrusters at the rear, and an array of tools and lights sticking out the front. The roof has been closed off with wire mesh and extra roof panelling. Like Thunderbird 4 she is bright yellow with red accents and a large number 4 on the side. All the vehicles show significant wear, with rust, chipping, and weathering from desert sands. A photograph of Terrorbird Two, carrying Terrorbird 4 on the car transporter ramp. This photo shows the cab in detail. You can clearly see the slat-armoured windows and large exhaust stack, as well as orange hazard lights and the heavily worn and battered green bodywork. Another photograph of Terrorbird Two, carrying Terrorbird 4 on the car transporter ramp. This photo shows the left side of the cab in detail, where three water drums are held on a metal stowage rack beside the armoured door. The barrels are held in place with heavy duty cable ties and the whole thing has a somewhat ramshackle post-apocalyptic feel. You can also clearly see the large amounts of sand and dust caked into the wheels. A photograph of Terrorbird Two, carrying Terrorbird 4 on the car transporter ramp. Mirroring Thunderbird 4's iconic deployment down the ramp from Pod 4 in Thunderbirds, the rear ramp of the car transport trailer is down and Terrorbird 4 is driving off of the ramp onto the floor. This photo also shows the massive Terrorbird Two nuclear jet engines which are blackened with heavy use.

If you see this, post your orange art 🍊

I don't paint much orange, but this #gaslands car was a pretty fun little build and paintjob.
A converted Hot Wheels car for the Gaslands post-apocalyptic racing game. The car is a two-door coupe, with a large blower on the hood, a heavy-duty plough/ram on the front, and a quad missile launcher on the rear. The windows are replaces with mesh grid, and extra armour has been added to the front windshield and hood. The front of the car is vibrant orange, which blends to charcoal at the rear around the middle of the vehicle. The blend is like a hexagonal digital transition rather than a soft fade. There are spots of charcoal at the front, and the odd orange spot towards the rear. A prominent number '10' is on the car door in white with a black background shadow. The front ram is painted with bright black and yellow hazard stripes for added contrast. The car has scratches and dents in the armour and looks as though it is mid-race.

I also painted up some 1/144 Harriers as air support. These were heavily converted from the Revell miniatures to properly represent GR3s which are appropriate to the mid-80s setting. This included replacing the noses, moving the landing gear to the outer wing, and reshaping the wing chord and tail!
Four 1/144 scale Harrier GR3s painted in ‘Norwegian Arctic’ white and gray camouflage. As used by the RAF when stationed in Scandinavia. The aircraft are on clear flight stands.

Any #BattlefleetGothic players out there in the #Wargaming community? I built this ship as a centre point for an ongoing #40k RPG but she’s also serving in my Imperial Fleet as the Exorcist Grand Cruiser ‘Divine Providence’. Made by kitbashing some Battlefleet Galaxy kits she was very fun to paint!
A Warhammer 40,000 Grand Cruiser for the BFG tabletop game. Made by Battlefleet Galaxy and painted by me! She has an ivory hull with a sharp green prow and green playing around her engines. The ship is bedecked with golden domes and detailing. Scores of raked gun turrets sit atop large open plan hangar bays for attack craft. As with all 40K BFG Imperial ships, the Divine Providence looks like a Cathedral had a baby with a Dreadnought era battleship and launched it into space. This photo is taken from the front right quadrant of the ship and gives a good view of her bow and starboard gun decks and hangar bays. A Warhammer 40,000 Grand Cruiser for the BFG tabletop game.

This photo is a close up of her bridge and citadel superstructure. You can clearly see the gothic stylings of her architecture including flying buttresses and communications towers built into spires and campanile-style towers.
