Blotz B28-EE-002 Russian House #2 (with Warbases Lean-to Greenhouse) WIP

 I picked this kit up somewhere last year (I think?) and built it today. Nice little thing, quick to build, the losse shutters and windows are a nice addition. I've set the windows back a bit for a better 3D effect. That way they stick out on the inside but that will only help with painting. I've added, but not fixed, a Warbases Lean-to Greenhouse to it, but Il will not be glueing it in place. Easier to store or add quest items this way (and paint!). The storage on the other side I did glue down as it is a bit fragile otherwise. 

Just not sure yet about the roof. Metal, pressed fibre or wooden panels?

Lowlands Terrain - Office Building WIP

 And I have started the 2nd building. Again, nicely cut, good fit, the only issue is that 1 part seems to be missing. It's not on any of the sheets so I've sent off a PM and they are getting right on it for me. As soon as that part arrives I can finish the build.

As the kit does not come with doors I've used scrap MDF to make 2 new ones (and I just realised I forgot to make doorknobs so that is for tomorrow), I've added railings so Yuri doesn't break his neck. Also a ladder to the roof right to the hatch I have added.  Remember kids, always have some of that spare MDF stuff in your spares bin. I need to add some card to the backs of the stair steps to make sure it is fully closed off. Once I glue this in and something falls between the cracks I doubt it will ever come out again. 

I have some sort of artsy bit from a trophy that I might fit to the front wall....if I can find it. 

Otherwise this will get the standard decay, maybe some photo's on the wall. Most of the glass intact this time, but weatherd, mossy. We will see what we can do with this. Most likely not in the next few weeks as I have a deadline for the Militia Build to catch.

 

 

 

Lowlands Terrain Small Storage Warehouse Finished

Happy with the way it looks so calling it a day. Can go straight into my Stalker collection as well as my Post Apoc when it doubles as storage for the Red Star Brewery. Nice kit to work on, I can reccomend it for super generic storage, and this will look fine when painted up as new too, or modern with graffiti on the sides etc. 

Only addition made is the card covering the MDF roof and the red star, otherwise stock.

Getting there. Still a lot to do. 

 

 

AK-47 Militia Build - The Miltia 120mm mortar painted, now just needs crew

 God knows where they dug up this old fossil....

Battlefronts 15mm scaled 120mm that they sell for the Germans, Russians, Egyptians, Iraqi's, Bietnamese, etc....so this might be a bit hefty for the Militia but it just says Mortar, so something with a little more Oomph is nice. That and I have loads of these in my spares bin.

Lowlands Terrain Small Storage Warehouse

 

Picked this and 2 other kits up from a local creator (10 min drive to pick these up) and this is the smallest of the 3. 

 

Nice TT Combat like feel to the MDF, nice lift off roof and comes with 1 crate, 4 solar panels and 2 AC units as well. The light lasering on the floor and door is nice to keep intact while painting. Made for 28mm but if I am honest as always, make a fake door in the side and you have a nice large warehouse for 15mm as well. Or a hanger for a stubby aircraft? Need to paint it now.

 

They tossed in a free 0-10 counter thingy as well in MDF, for which I don't have a need but it was fun to paint up 

AK-47 Militia Build - Dir, the 1st T-34 Rebel Tank PIP

 No kids for Christmas, and meds making sure I'm not hungry I just spent the day sorting stuff, cleaning and grabbing the occasional small snack, no Xmas dinner this year, or tomorrow. Well, there was but that is now in the freezer.

And then I took an hour or so for myself this evening to grab some washes to paint Dir, the 1st T-34 tank for the Militia (Rebel) Build. I did not get as far as on Rumh, but that is ok as I need to do some more prep work and putty pushin on the third anyway and what work remains (white markings and barrel, crew,tracks etc) can be done when I paint that. At my current rate that will be somewhere next year I think.

Dir (درع) means Shield in Arabic. The crew are....for lack of a better word, "conscripted volunteers"

The 2nd T-34 (and third tank for this unit) will be īmān (إيمان) which means Faith.

So Spear, Shield and Faith. Tank is a Battlefront T-34 that I got in a joblot. I hope that explains why this and the other T-34 have their commanders cuppola glued on the loaders side. For a fantasy like this it is perfectly fine....

...Crap, now I feel I should equip some of the spear guys with a shield......dammit. Oh well, still more than 20 days left I suppose....
