The Supreme Soviet

Another mini from Crossover - I believe this is 'The Defender'.  I have painted him as THE SUPREME SOVIET!

Mercedes LG3000 completed

Just finished up this truck.  This is totally outside of my comfort zone, but I think it turned out aiiiight.  From what Im hearing and reading, sounds like this truck probably wouldnt have been painted like this, but oh well...

20mm LG3000 from Milicast

Mercedes LG3000 WIP

A little off the beaten path for me...a truck to enter in the Guild speed build here.  Just base coat and pass of some camo.  A long ways to go yet, but Ill be finished with this by the end of the weekend at worst.

As a side note, this was the truck that carried the Ark Of The Covenant in Raiders of the Lost Ark!

Black Cat

Another figure from Crossover Miniatures.  This is actually the body of one figure with the head of one of the others.  I present BLACK CAT!

Everest

Due to my involvement with Crossover Miniatures here the past few months, I got to help design a figure.  I had asked Rusti (the owner) and Soapy (the sculptor) to make him a bigger, brawler type.  I also wanted sort of a 'mountain' theme.  I got exactly what I wanted....this is Everest!  (sadly not my best paint job, but I was so excited I had to post him up!  Ive got a couple more I may give a go on here one of these days)

Cool figure.  Anyway, the guys over at Crossover have been amazing to work with.  The figures are totally clean - no flash, no cleanup necessary what so ever.  Great muscle definition to really get some good shadows too.

Carthaginian Elephants

Just finished up some 10mm stuff from Pendraken.  I have absolutely fallen in love with 10mm - they are big enough to get some good detail, but small enough that you can really show some volume.

These figures were awesome (although, I have read that Carthaginians would not have had the tower on the elephant's backs because North African elephants wouldnt have been strong enough, but who knows?????) to paint and Im stunned by the detail that can be put into a 10mm figure.

This one had a slight modification....the archer...

African Militia

20mm Christian African militia.  These guys come from Mutineer Miniatures, and were really fun to paint.  Great sculpts.

June 2012 - A weak month for painting

After a great month of production in May, June ground to a halt.  I got bogged down with Ogre Bloodbowlers (which are really cool figures - they are just draining me!).  Also, 'lost' a couple weekends to vacation and what not - weekends are typically my most busy painting time.  Oh well - what can you do?

I bought a few things this month - one of the guys in the UK on The Guild website was selling off a bunch of plastic models on the cheap, so I got in on a bunch of modern tanks and few choppers.  I also purchased and received a preorder of 10mm Blaze Away ACW figures (that are really cool btw).

Completed, for June, 2012:

28mm infantry completed: 5
2 Bikers (Copplestone Casting)
2 Ogres (Heresy Miniatures) 
1 Ogre (Games Workshop)

10mm Infantry completed: 6
6 ACW (Pendraken)

In progress, June/July 2012:
28mm infantry in progress: 16
4 Ogres (Heresy)
4 Miscellaneous Goblins/Orcs/Snotlings (Misc)
8 Snotlings (Impact Miniatures)

20mm infantry in progress: 12
12 African Militia (Mutineer Miniatures)

I have nearly completed 12 militia men from Africa.  I should have them done by the 4th at latest.

Im still plugging away on my Bloodbowl team - still 4 more ogres to go, and then I switch gears to the rest of the team - snotlings, goblins, etc.  Considering how long the 3 ogres I finished this month took, im thinking it will still be another month before I get these guys done.

Finally, Im DYING to start working on some 10mm Carthaginians I have from Pendraken.  I have several elephants and some soldiers - they will definitely get started this month.

2012 Completed Totals:

25-28mm infantry completed: 39
15mm infantry completed: 33
15mm cavalry completed: 10

Purchases in June, 2012:

As mentioned above, I bought some plastic armor models, as well as a few 10mm figures.  About $100 worth of models, and 30 on the 10mil guys.
