I'm a figure painter, Model maker, and Wargamer. I am an occasional video maker, but I hope to increase my output.
International Brigades NCO and some poor bugger who has been issued with a Chauchat, possibly one of the worst machine rifles ever made.

Some 3D printed goodness in the shape of a 1/48th Pz1A.
STL from Counlane Models the print was done by Dark Moon Printing on Etsy...It's a beautifully detailed little model and the best print I have bough to date.

It's resurrection time!! I've revived this build from its cardboard box tomb and I'm furiously working to get it over to @fenrisgames.com to get it put into moulds for casting. If you're a comic book fan you may recognise this particular vehicle #TankGirlTank😜

What's that you say, I've painted the wrong field grey colour on that WW2 German figure's jacket?
Let me check my reference photos..... no, I think you'll find I'm right😂

We are smoking a fag.. It’s all gaspers and lung torpedoes on the painting desk today. Republican UNL35 commander and a DP28 gunner joining the ranks of finished SCW figures.

I'm getting the hang of this face painting marlarkey😂 two more Republicans are taking shape to add to my growing Spanish Civil War forces. The figure on the left is the commander of a UNL-35 armoured car I'm working on. The other fellow is a DP-28 LMG gunner from the XIII International Brigade.

I think this might be the best face I've ever painted on a figure🫣

I'm back on the 1/72nd/20mm scale Soviet army for the BattleGroup rules. It's a KV-1 plastic Trumpeter models kit with Part photoetch and OKB resin tracks. The commander figure is from Black Dog Resins. I messed up the earth colour for the mud on the lower hull. I'm fixing it with a few dark washes.
