Victorian SF Tunnelling Machine

I painted the wooden hull, with Flat Earth (983). I am trying to get a polished teak effect.

I will now paint the metal bands around the hull, before giving the “teak” a wash.

Bolt Action Partisans

I started painting my Bolt Action Partisans using Vallejo Flat Earth (983).

Still some way to go…

Dystopian Wars Airfield Set

Having given the resin models in the Dystopian Wars Airfield Set a basecoat, the next stages were undertaken.

I mixed some of the Vallejo German Dark Camo (979) with Vallejo Ivory (918) and drybrushed the hangars.

The Airship Towers were given a wash with Citadel Shade: Nuln Oil.

After that was dry, I gave them a drybrush of the original grey.

The Radar Tower was also given a wash with Citadel Shade: Nuln Oil.

The radar itself got a base coat of Citadel Base: Warplock Bronze.

See my Dystopian Wars workbench.

Dystopian Wars: Kingdom of Britannia Flyers

Within the box Kingdom of Britannia Naval Battle Group for Dystopian Wars are flyers, resin fighter tokens and metal bombers.

They look like biplanes, but have elements of 1940 era fighters.

Not quite sure how I am going to paint them at this time.

In the box you also get two Doncaster Class Bombers.

I am not a fan of these models, or even the concept. They look like flying boats, but aren’t.

Dystopian Wars: Kingdom of Britannia Naval Battle Group

Some time ago I bought the Kingdom of Britannia Naval Battle Group for Dystopian Wars.

In the box you get:

1 x Battleship
3 x Cruisers
9 x Frigates
2 x Bombers
10 x Resin Flying Tokens
2 x Acrylic Flight Stands
4 x A5 Token Sheets
Laminated Statistic Cards

After cleaning the models, and putting them together I gave them a white undercoat.

These are the Attacker Class Frigates.

These are the Tribal Class Cruisers.

This is the Ruler Class Battleship.

The next stage for these models will be a grey basecoat.

Assault Marines

I was given a box of the Space Marine Assault Squad by my son, after thinking about painting them as Grey Knights I decided in the end to paint them as “normal” Marines.

I glued the chainsaw arms to the models.

They still need their other arms.

Prussian Empire Pflicht Class Scoutships

The first contingent of my Prussian Empire aerial forces are a pair of Pflicht Class Scoutships.
Prussian Empire engineers love the classic zeppelin shape and have made extensive use of the gas powered blimp shape throughout the military.

In the end, in order to undercoat and paint them I used a couple of spare Citadel flying bases.

After giving the models a white undercoat, I gave them a basecoat of a light grey.

Still not 100% sure how I am going to finish painting these.

Dystopian Wars Airfield Set

This set contains three medium-sized hangers, two zeppelin towers and one communications building. I gave all the models an undercoat of Citadel Skull White spray. For the hangars I gave them a base coat of Vallejo German Dark Camo (979).

The Airship towers and the radar tower were given a basecoat of light grey.

Basing Emmet Gates

Having finished painting Emmet Gates, I started on the base.

I first gave it a basecoat of Citadel Texture: Armageddon Dust.

What I did note was that it didn’t quite cover the coin as well as I thought it would. So for my other Foundry models I will use a bit of green stuff to texture the base.

Once the paint was dry, I drybrushed with Citadel Layer: Ushabti Bone and then used some Citadel Mordheim Turf.
