Rubicon M5A1 Stuart VI work in progress - Awaiting painting

Well, after a rather long time, the Rubicon M5A1 is now ready for painting.

 I added a spare track holder on the rear right (it should project out further, I doubt you could fit in the spare track, but if I made it too prominent it might break in use).

 The track slots into the bottom of the fixing and is held in place by the clip at the top.

 Yes, I hid it on the left rear under a sack hanging from the lift ring.

If you go down to the woods today...

One of the most disturbing manifestations of the Neverborn is the entity known as Teddy.

A Guild Guard for scale.

The story of Teddy can be found here (external link).

Afrika Korp - part one

Having built a Rubicon Panzer III for the North African campaign, I thought it was time to assemble some Perry Miniatures Africa Korp plastics.

 The corporal in detail.

Undercoat is Citadel Chaos Black followed by Humbrol Desert Tan.
The faded nature of the uniforms means that they have a rather rag tag look. A lot of them have just been shaded with Citadel Agrax Earthshade. Some jackets and trousers have been painted with Citadel Karak Stone and Castlllan Green. The boots are Steel Legion Drab

Rubicon M5A1 - Still work in progress

I have built up the front glacis plate.

I still need to smooth the transition, probably with watered down lilliput.

And added some more stowage.

 I did worry about the location of the exhaust pipes, but they are underneath the engine access doors so the bucket (when added to its handle) will not be in the way.

Warlord Games Project Z - Male Zombies first figure

Here is the first of the new male zombies from the Warlord Games Project Z game.

 Hospitals would be the first flash point of the Zombie Apocalypse, and many of the first zombies would be medical personnel.

 Still wearing his scrubs and his disposable shoe covers this zombie is a major health hazard.

Warlord Games - Project Z box

At Salute 2016 I bought the new Project Z box and the Special Ops expansion set.

One of the new male zombies with William Killen for scale.

Halt! Who goes there?

I am slowly building up a few Malifaux figures (okay I have built a number, painting them is another matter).

Here is the first Guild Guard in playable form.

The figure was first undercoated with Citadel Chaos Black spray, followed by Citadel Mornfang Brown spray.
The duster coat is Vallejo German Camouflage Black Brown.
The trousers are Citadel Incubi Darkness with Vallejo Blue Grey highlight and trim.
Leather work is Vallejo Hull Red.
Shirt is Vallejo Blue Grey shaded with Vallejo Field Blue.

 The hat is Mournfang Brown (from the undercoat).

The hair is Citadel Rhinox Hide, washed with original Citadel Flesh Wash after dry brushing.

The base was first washed with Citadel Gryphon Sepia wash the Agrax Earthshade. It was the dry brushed with Citadel Golgfag Brown Dry brush paint. A final dry brush with Citadel Terminatus Stone was followed by another wash with Gryphon Sepia.

There is still some tidying up to do, stuff that to me is only visible when the figure is magnified in the photographs (and then is blindingly obvious on the model).
