Zvezda Triarii

The paint on the shields got a bit...er??...dry as I was painting them and ended up a bit rough looking. My excuse is that  they have been using them for dry hill Punic Tobbogan Racing :-)

Teutonic Master II (Italeri)

You can never have enough Boss bods. This one is an Italeri Tuetonic knight who has had a mild operation, a head swop with the kneeing crossbowman fron the crusader set. The old head I used as his helmet (hanging from the saddle pommel) The nag is also from the crusader set with all those tiny tiny  fluers de lys removed. Cloak as usual from toiletpaper. :-)

And heres a fun thing to do on these winter nights....(no pun intended)...The Pyrrhus Project at History in 1/72nd..

Airfix Nato ground crew

West told me to tell him when I started with 20th centuary bods , so here mate...I´ve started!! :-D
By a coincidence Tim Gow of Megablitz and more posted the Airfix USAAF at the same time. Unlike me, who cheated by using a picture to create a dio, Tim  did a proper job of work and made a dio to go with them.. Tim´s Airfix USAAF Ground crew

Teutonic Grand Master ( Valdemar)

A nice dynamic pose. The Rider (big boss) comes in 3 parts as well as the shield and sword being seperate.

Undead Romans

This mob is meant to be the opposition to the sandriders and have the skellie ellie as their heavy cavalry.
A right ugly bunch...but they have ben "undead" for a few centuries so they won´t be looking thier best. :-)

Zvezda Samurai

Lovely sculpts, lovely looking bods but a complete pain to paint. 

 

I would also like to take notice of the fact that I have now got 100 followers!!!!  and to say thanks to you all. :-D  Makes it all worth while...thanks again. 

After the Sandstorm!!!

Lt Tompkins finally manages to locate Colonel Brashford....

"Don´t just sit there man!!!! Dig!!! The horse under me can´t hold it´s breath forever!!! 

Saracen Camel Rider (Italeri)

One of the better bods in the set. His lance is a bit too short but never mind. 

Airfix WWI Female tank

Built as part of a GB at The Airfix tribute Forum. I screwed the steering gear up and decided after several attempts it looked ok without it. Bods from Emhar.

 For fun, One in sepia

David and Goliath

DAVE!!! How many more times !? Slings are NOT toys!!!!!

Crusaders (conversions)

A couple of Airfix bods from the Sherrif of Nottingham set and one from the Italeri Crusader set with a Zvezda peasants head.

Teutonic Knights (Italeri)

These I painted up as part of a group build at Bennos (see here). The idea was to either paint the whole set or just the nine poses. Alterations / conversions were allowed as long as it was within the set ie; no extra bits, nags, bods etc from other sets. I changed all the spears for ones made out of Florist wire and the raised patterns on shields and nags were removed and replaced by printed emblems.
I decided to have them in a desert setting as I have another 30 plus Crusaders etc based as if in the desert and I wanted to add these too them. Anyway...I don´t stick to history when I dont feel like it :-)
