Dystopian Wars Empire of the Blazing Sun

Here is an order for the Dystopian Wars Empire of the Blazing Sun Naval Battle Group box set. These models are made mostly of resin with a few metal parts. The bombers are all metal. Clean-up was minimal and the casting quality was high.

The customer picked the overall colors. I went with a slightly more used, dirtier look as though the fleet has been out for a while:

Warhammer Bretonnian Army Finished

Here's a Warhammer Bretonnian Army recently completed for a customer. The characters have already been delivered and there are more units and figures to add but this is the core of the army. It includes two Bretonnian Battalion boxed sets and a unit of Grail Knights.

I did a typical Bretonnian scheme focusing more of Red, Blue, Black, White, and Yellow for the knights' heraldry. I reserved green for use more with the Damsels, and we already delivered a Green Knight model, so those will stand out from the bulk of the army. I would have liked to really go crazy with the heraldry on some of the knights but we ran into the usual restrictions of time and money. It's expensive for the customer if I have to put a lot of time into the model, such as with complex heraldry, so I try and keep costs down a bit for them by simplifying things.

The peasant foot were done in more muted colors reflecting their status. Brighter colors were used for thier badges and standards. The contrasts between the brighter knights and duller peasants really adds to the visual appeal of a Bretonnian army.

There will be images of the Pegasus Knights and a Damsel soon. Then the army will be flushed out by adding about 10 more Men-At-Arms to each unit, 5 more Grail Knights, about 10 more Knights of the Realm, and a few more Lords and Damsels.

More Flames of War 15mm WWII

Here's some more 15mm World War II Flames of War figures. These are a commission job completed for a customer. The vehicles and guns are airbrushed. The detailed bases are the ones that come in the Battlefront boxed set.

New Acheson Creations Korean War Figures Complete

I finished up these figures this week. They are new releases for Acheson Creations and mark their start into a new line of 28mm Korean War miniatures. These are pretty characterful and while I wasn't happy initially the way they were turning out I am satisfied with the completed figures. Basing really does complete the miniatures and I am never satisfied until that stage is complete. These will be the display figures at shows and for images for Acheson's new line.  

Chinese in winter uniform. These will probably also work for eastern Soviet WWII figures.

Another 15mm Napoleonic French Army

Just completed another Napoleonic French army. These are again AB Figures. Completing this job gets us much closer to catching up after Cold Wars.

Again the customer will do their own basing. I'm not crazy about showing figs without basing/ flocking as I'm never really happy about their appearance but here they are anyway.

And before anyone brings it up, yes, I know some bayonets and plumes need straightened. That will be done as they are packed for shipping. I was in a hurry to get the pics done as I needed the table space to work on some prep work for some other orders.

Extra Officers

The flag bearers all had their hands drilled out to accept pre-made flags, probably form the Flag Dude. The customer was handling this as well.
