Finished Tanks!

My Russian tanks are finished and turned out great! They are now up for sale. Each tank comes with a T34/76 hull AND T34/85 hull giving you those two options, all for $100. I will be picking up some more of these in the near future.

Russian WW2 T34/76 (and 85) Tanks

I took a short break from painting High Elves today to post a few pictures of a new painting project. I am painting up a boxed set of 5 WW2 Russian T34/76 (or 85) tanks for 15mm miniature wargaming. They're from Plastic Soldier miniatures and are of great quality. These two are works in progress, as I have to weather them. I painted the slogans on myself, as well as the stars. I am painting them to sell, so if you would like to purchase them when they are finished, or are interested in purchasing them and would like specific sayings on the remaining 3 unpainted figures, please email me. Thanks!

This one tank reads, "For Staain"... so I'll fix it, hahaha.

Back to the Bay

Hello Everyone! I am back in North Bay (and then Europe) until late August. So if you have any painting requests, I am in North Bay for the summer.

WW2 Canadians: Algonquin Regiment

As a birthday present to myself, I picked up a boxed set of Late War British Infantry from Warlord Games (Bolt Action, I believe). These figures are great and are a lot of fun to paint. You get enough pieces to assemble 25 models, and you can give them Lee Enfields with or without bayonets, a Bren gun, 2 inch mortar, some revolver hands for officers, Sten guns (for the British) and Thompsons for Canadians (boom shaka!). Being from North Bay, I've decided to paint these with the Algonquin Regiment insignia on their arms (a bit of blue paint, yeah!). Here is a "teaser" of the unit, as I have not finished everyone yet. I have a Sergeant and a Corporal. 

I built the Sergeant, John "Gateway to the North" Bourke, in a pretty bad ass pose. He is hammering away with his Thompson, screaming, and I put a helmet with a bullet mark in it on the base to explain why the Sergeant is helmet-less. The other is Corporal Trout McIntyre dutifully wearing his assault-style helmet. To get a more green colour, typical of Canadian uniforms, I mixed a dark green and Vallejo's British Khaki. 

 The names that I have given these lads actually have some significance to my hometown, where the Algonquin regiment is situated. John Bourke was the first mayor of North Bay, as well as my great-great-great-great grandfather, and the city is known as the "Gateway to the North". Trout Lake is one of the two large lakes in the area, and McIntyre is one of the longest streets. I may have spent too much time thinking up these names... I think they're cool!

Seven Were Given to the Dwarf Lords...

I painted this model quite a while ago, and gave him a bit of a touch up this past weekend. This GW Lord of the Rings Dwarf Lord is great fun to paint. I went with a red-brown cloak to keep him earthy looking. The picture is a bit dark, but once I get a new camera, the pictures will improve!

Tank! It's about time...

It's about time that I post again! I've been busy with working, painting, and moving. I painted this tank last year. I had almost forgotten how much fun 40K can be!
