Lots of things going on at the moment but getting in the occasional session and have been doing a fair few things recently.
- A dropship for the 28mm stuff the Little One and I are doing, and also a really exciting Space Bus on its way.
- Some clutter for Urban Sci-Fi gaming
- A few more things for the Mutant 1984 project
Dropship
Following from our two games so far with the Stargrave rules (we showed some pictures from one of the games here), the Little One and I felt the need to get some shuttles of dropship without breaking the bank and we found a nice model from Mantic Games (model here) that seemed to fit the bill – it sells for about £25 but we managed to get one for £20 including postage from Ebay, as usually there are some re-sellers that may sell it to you cheaper than buying directly from Mantic.

I spray painted the model with Silver paint and used a series of washes to get a dark green metal with grime look. The funnies part of it was the last step which was done applying some Flory Models Grime Wash (I bought a few of these washes some time ago and I am really happy with the effect after in essence just dabbing it on with a brush (you can get them from here).
Really happy how it came out – quick but effective.
In addition we have order another flyer, a Space Bus from the 2001 movie, in 1/55 scale which hopefully will work (I will report back and let you know). It really works for me.

Clutter for Urban Sci-Fi Gaming
I had some 3D printed terrain I bought from Sabotag3d a year ago for my Judge Dredd project.
Put some paint on it this weekend trying to get a little bit of an overall cartoon feel to it all. All metallics are gold or silver base paint with contrast paint on top – I like the effect it gives.
And of course with a little bit of miniatures and other terrain.
Mutant 1984
Finally I have had some fun painting some miniatures from Fenris Games for my Mutant 1984 project, as per usual the the nobleman Guss af Edelhus in the forbidden zone in Muskö year 105 has an apperance, he is from Warlord Games.
Jageret Svin – bandit and explorer
Wolfram Varg and his fellow Hunters, some of the most sought after troubleshooters in the Pyri-Commonwealth
A Pit Guillotine (well actually a Gug from the Cthulhu Mythons)
/ Hope that was of some interest, have a good weekend (eventually)
Great work on all of that- I am particularly keen on the dropship though.
Cheers,
Pete.

Love the street benches and ornamental conifers. Adding some cigarette butts and soft drinks cans stuffed into the bushes would be the final touch of perfection! 🙂

Great stuff. The Dropship looks amazing, and the “Boar man with the axe” kinda reminds me of the character from TMNT. (the cartoon, not the movies). And werewolf hunters just adds a level of lethality they probably didn’t need, but does make them extra fun on the tabletop.

Like the drop ship. We’re putting together a little bit of a sci fi distraction and this looked just the job.
