Tiger, Tiger; and Mother Nature is a mean bitch

Ive been working on these for what seems like weeks now...finally got around to finishing them.  Tigers!

Also, a few weeks back, we got the worst ice storm I've ever been in.  Finally getting around to throwing up some pics

First, some 'before' pics of the trees that fell from our lot into the road

My wife and I spent the majority of a weekend cleaning up as much as we could on our own, before we had to call in some help to remove the mess.  Took 7 guys 3 days to get it all cut up and totally removed.

Tiny T90s

Finished these up over the weekend for the 'Armor' Group Build over at 'The Guild' link

The lighting from my camera setup has sort of washed out the greens and you can barely even see the black (part of the camo!), but its ok.  They look pretty cool in person.

T90s from GHQ

T90 from Khurasan

Some 'Vladamir' tanks.  Tank crew from QRF

More M1A2 Abrams pics

I finished up the other two Abrams tanks last night.

The tanks are from Khurasan, and they are great models at any scale, but especially nice at 15mm!  The tank commanders/gunners are from QRF, and are frankly disappointing.  In my opinion, they take away from the awesome work that is the armor.

Next up on the painting table are 15mm T90s and Those Certain Fellows!!

Khurasan M1A2 Abrams

I cant seem to get enough time to complete several projects im working on.  This weekend was no exception, but I DID manage to complete on 15mm Abrams tank from Khurasan.  This is a great little kit, and extremely detailed in 15mm.

Ive got a couple more that Im nearly finished with, and should have those posted up tomorrow.

Armor keeps rolling in

I put some more stuff together this weekend.  First up this week are the beautiful M1 Abrams and T90 Vladimir tanks from KHURASAN.  For all of the bitching I did last week about QRF minis, these are the exact opposite.  The resin is crisp and clean, everything goes together easily, and are a pleasure to build.

Tomorrow will be a sci fi armor day!

No more 'models' for a while.  I havent painted in over a week due to putting armor and choppers together.  Its not really my thing, so I need a little break!

More QRF armor

Needless to say, I got in on QRF's 20% off sale a few weeks back....

BTR 80

BMP 3

The metal stuff from QRF seems to be pretty good.  But, I also got some more choppers, and I have to say I am not looking forward to them at all.  The resin bits are all pockmarked, and there are even places where someone from QRF has attempted to fill holes with putty (cheap crappy putty at that!)  They are going to require a helluva lot of work, when really all I want to do is paint em!

Iraqi Armor

Finished up my 20mm Iraqi force with several pieces of armor.  I think they turned out pretty good...Im just not a huge fan of painting armor!  Just not much 'character' I guess?  Whatever though - thanks for looking!

A pair of BMP-2.  I love this vehicle - really, I like all Soviet/Russian armor!

Next up, a Shilka.

And finally, 3 T72 tanks

Also, a great cover from the New York Post

Sasquatch and some BMPs

Finished up some things and started some more over the weekend.  It seems (and Im happy about this!) that Ive always got two or three things going on at one time these days.

First up, Sasquatch from Reaper Miniatures.  This could be a 'squatch' like that 'Squatchin guy', or, my intent, was the big comic book character from Alpha Flight.

Also, I completed 5 Iraqi BMP-1s (1/285th) from GHQ

 And a size comparison for my less 'in the know' buddies

Dexter cant believe it

Currently on my painting desk are some scouts and scavengers from Copplestone Castings, a referee from Dreadball, and 3 T72 20mm tanks from Hobby Den.
