Kingdom of Britannia Ruler Class Battleship

As with the frigates and the cruisers I gave the Ruler Class Battleship from the Dystopian Wars Kingdom of Britannia, a wash of Citadel Shade: Agrax Earthshade. I did this to add shadow and shade and emphasise the decking.

I did consider painting parts of the model bronze or copper, to add a victorian science fiction feel, but in the end kept the model mostly grey to be more naval looking. Another thing I have seen on other peoples’ models is making elements of the model a glowing “cobalt” blue colour. I might do that if I go down the route of painting a Covenant of Antarctica naval force.

I think these models have an interesting design concept, but they’re not my favourite.

Next stage will be drybrushing.

Victorian Science Fiction Steam Tank and Cowboys

Here is my Victorian Science Fiction Steam Tank from Ironclad  Miniatures helping support two Dixon Miniatures cowboys.

Washing the Frigates

I gave the models a wash of Citadel Shade: Agrax Earthshade. I decided against painting the decks of the Attacker Class Frigates as these are very small models and the decking was quite fiddly to paint.

As you can see I have stuck three onto each wooden stick for ease of painting.

This is a very quick method of adding shadow and shade to the models.

Doctor Who: The Spear of Destiny

As part of the 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who, there are going to be eleven short novels from famous authors covering (as you might have guessed) all eleven Doctors.

Doctor Who: The Spear of Destiny

The third book is The Spear of Destiny and features the third Doctor and Jo Grant, oh and Vikings.

The Third Doctor and Jo Grant are trying to track down the magical spear of Odin when they find themselves caught up in a vicious battle between two Viking tribes. But one of the Vikings is even more dangerous than he appears to be. Can the Doctor stop the spear getting into the wrong hands before it’s too late?

Prussian Empire – Dystopian Wars

Here are the first models I have painted (and completed) for Dystopian Wars. Here is the Prussian Empire Blucher Class Dreadnought, probably passing too close to a bunker complex.

Here are some Arminius Class Frigates passing the same bunker!

The bunker model is a 1/300th scale model from Snapdragon Studio.

Here is a close up of one of my Arminius Class Frigates.

More frigates.

Here are the Arminius Class Frigates alongside the Blucher Class Dreadnought.

More photographs of the Blucher Class Dreadnought.

See my Dystopian Wars Workbench, to see how I painted these models and what else I am painting.

Prussian Empire Blucher Class Dreadnought

Here are some shots of my finished Prussian Empire Blucher Class Dreadnought in “water”.

I used some full colour print outs of water textures, printed on glossy photo paper using a standard home inkjet printer.

The scenery is from Snapdragon Studios and is an 1/300th SF Bunker, but seems to fit in quite well.
