Stock Painting January 16th, 2012

I've been working on a number of Frozen Planet pieces lately, more of which

I'll be posting later in the week. No idea why the pics are so outsized.

Alien Statue

Cauldron

Both of these can be found here.

Plus I've added a couple more painted terrain pieces to the webstore.

Well I guess a giant worm isn't really terrain, but it's big enough to count.

And finally a pair of identical wooden bridges which, along with the

worm, come from Acheson Creations.

These can be found here.

Stock Painting December 9th, 2011

Been too long since I last did one of these, but I hope to get these out more regularly now that convention season is over for the year. So here we have a pair of sabertooth cats from Trent's DeeZee line.

Trent DZ013 $6.00 USD

Trent DZ014 $6.00 USD

These two are available here.

I've also put up a new item in our painted terrain section: A set of 28mm Roman tents from Acheson Creations. The camp set includes one large Roman officer's tent and four smaller troop tents for $75.00 USD. These would make for a nice centerpiece set-up for an ancients skirmish game, or maybe as a base camp for an archaeological expedition for you pulp guys.

I've put up the dimensions for the tents and their bases along with larger pics on the painted terrain page in the webstore here.

Shown with a Copplestone Castings Future Wars figure for scale.

I've got some 15mm buildings from Timecast coming up next week, as well as more bits and pieces from Acheson. Lots more to put up for painted terrain if you're interested in that kinda thing. :)

Thanks for visiting.

Here we have the first actual display model for Trent; DZ10 Cave Bear Rearing.

One of three cave bear poses in the range.

It's about 65mm tall and if standing normally would be about

25mm to the top of the shoulder.

Slishians $10.95 USD (3 Pack) Singles $4.00 USD ea

Stock Painting July 19th, 2011

Another one from Ramshackle, this time the Badger. It is probably the closest

Ramshackle comes to a general purpose military vehicle.

Shown here giving shelter to some of my Vor Union figures.

The Badger can be found in our webstore here.

Stock Painting July 12th, 2011

Been a little longer than I wanted since the last one of these, so here's a big one.

The Stinger, painted to help promote Nuclear Renaissance's

boxed set. We're out of stock for this now unfortunately.

Ramstoat, also for the Nuclear Renaissance boxed set.

Lastly the Iron Grumber. Fresh painted this weekend.

Here with an old GW Ork for comparison.

My first thought was to go Blood Axe for the color scheme,

but nothing leapt to mind so Goff it was. :)

It's bigger than a GW Rhino for sure.

My only problems with the kit are that it just has one

access hatch and the smokestacks are really fragile.

Remnants of our stock can be found here.
(The Brass Coffin is out of stock as of this writing.)

28mm Sci-fi Skiff Display Workup

I was going to put up a store update today, but late last night we found we had a couple of packages still sitting on the front porch. One of which was the 28mm version of the skiff! This post includes the build of the display model, some comparisons, and a word on cast quality.

Here are the components; each kit includes two railings, a

control stick, chair, body, and engine cowling.

Body dimensions are 185mm spar to end of railings and 50mm wide.

Passenger compartment is 80mm by 35mm.

I'll come back to this again, but you'll notice some filled in areas. My

policy is to take the worst cast items to fix up and paint for display.

Casts we send to customers will be of better quality.

On to the assembly. Glue the joystick to the cowling console,

and then glue the cowling to the body. Easy enough.

The fiddliest bit is glueing the railings on. The holes on either

side of the console were where you plugged the old resin

railings into the cowling so just ignore them.

Also make sure the railings are straight before you glue them on.

They are robust enough once glued in, but being thin can be bent

easily unsupported.

You can glue the chair in at this point. However, I'd suggest leaving

it off for painting if you want to use it. (It's intended primarily as a

rest for standing pilots.)

Here is a comparison shot with some popular Martian lines.

From left to right: Parroom Station, Bronze Age, and RAFM Space 1889.

The skiff is designed to reasonably carry light cargo or up to six passengers.

It will only hold two or three figures on 25-30mm bases however.

Finally a note about casting quality. The picture below represents

the worst quality we'll be sending out.

Imperfections in this batch of castings are minor and almost

entirely on the underside of the body. Most will be easily taken

care of with a drop of glue or a good coat of paint. We just

wanted to be upfront with this as I know it will be an issue for

some people.

Thanks for looking. The skiff will be available this Tuesday for a price of $20 USD. We will also be offering and assembled and primed versions for $25 USD in either black or white.
