Dark Age buildings done! I even repainted the roof of a previous one to suit what I’ve just finished. I really happy with these. Super quick to do and durable. They’ll soon be forming the streets of Mouse Eisley in Burrows & Badgers #nerdlings #wargaming #minipainting #terrainmaking

Plastic unpainted Dark Age Houses ready to be painted. They are made by Renedra

I’m not sure if I was putting these together correctly or not but I was left with a few gaps that I’ve filled with miliput . I’ll get them sprayed tomorrow and painted up over the weekend. They’ll be used for Burrows & Badgers soon. #nerdlings #wargaming #terrainmaking

I made myself a Saxon cornhūs for #pillage. I wanted to try out the scouring pad method for thatching buildings. I think it came out well so I’ll likely use it on a good few more. #nerdlings #wargaming #terrainmaking #miniterrain

I’m trying to make an effort to dress the table better for some upcoming games of #pillage. To that effect I made a midden! Pretty simple stuff with balsa and twigs but I think it came out well. Now what to make next?

#horusheresy #terrainmaking

Defence lines lookkng really good. Very happy with them so far

Such a brutal looking mech

#hobbystreak day 785

I have added sandbags to the defence lines, I may not have soaked them long enough. I also preped militaria as scatter for them.
The green part is from lidl.

I have started cleaning a Clan star, it will be a heavy star.

#terrainmaking #wip #battletech #scratchbuild

3 lances ready to spray

Battletech objective

#hobbystreak day 783

Did the tops of the retaining walls, spreading out the glue to avoud fume build up.

Two lances ready for basing, still not sure of the colour scheme.

I bought 100 pallets, farm toys are a good resource.

New spray bought, militia soon

#terrainmaking #battletech #terrain #wip

Three corner defences

Pair of mechs cleaned

#hobbystreak day 782

I did the sand on these and some military bits. I will do a whole pass on all of them when done to keep them unified.

Really fun, the new glue and snad slurry was frosting some things left near them whoke curing.

Next lance started.

#battletech #terrainmaking #wip terrain

Very colourful defences

#hobbystreak day 781

Continued these defences. I did little hobbying, partner was out with friends which normally means more hobbying, but the girls did not want the sleep.

These three have sand details to go before the join the sandbag queue.

#terrainmaking #scratchbuild #wip

Turns out this'll be a good backdrop for photographing minis... once I've actually painted them!

Some of the areas are traversible.

The base is canvas with the bamboo hotglued and milliputted to it and covered with 2 kinds of texture paste... that are almost completely covered in the finsl build, lol.

The furthest spread of terrain I can cover, slightly over 1x1ft

Just blitzed through a set of simple bamboo forest #terrain for playing games of Ronin, Pulp Alley and other #wargames. It's turned out OK and more importantly is simple enough that I can whip up more if I ever need to.

#miniaturepainting #terrainmaking #wargames #samurai

Heavy lance

Loads of defence line progressing nicely

#hobbystreak day 778

Heavy Lance mostly cleaned of lines. Not sure the paint plan.

I have the retaining sheets and supports on all of these. I will be trying a new superglue. I found somewhere near by selling 50g tubes.

All of the remaining defence lines gettkng ready, stuck to a card base.

#hobbystreak day 777

Defence line almost ready, only thing left is some sand bags. They will be added when all are at that stage. The sand bags will be the first part of my secret santa used.

Now the plan is figured out I should be able to blitz them.

#hobbystreak day 770

Doc Dorden with most colours blocked in, I tried to start him friday. Left my brushes at home, Tuesday I left the model at home.

20 trucks rusted and dusted. Finished

Side shot showing a touch more detail

Cockpit glass done on all, as I grabbed the wrong paint

#hobbystreak day 762

I have finshed up the 20 trucks, bringing me to 52 models for the year. Really fun and I need to put them out on the table let them shiny, in the background.

The ghost bear star continues cockpit glass done

#terrainmaking #battletech #wip #scratchbuild

Ghost bear star, most done. Happy with the dry brish affect to lighten the lower limbs, airbrush would have been smoother.

Trucks washed and almost ready for filth

#hobbystreak day 761

The adder needs details such as the canopy before weatering. The rest have first highlights in will be ready to weather today.

Trucks all wahsed now, light sponge of base colour, basic detail picked out then oil and dirt.

#battletech #wip #terrainmaking #clanmechs

#hobbystreak day 759

Finished blocking in all the tarps ,2 greens and brown.

Gonna and some details to the open bays, do the wheels then a wash.

#terrainmaking #wip

#hobbystreak day 758

All of the metal blocked in and a bunch of the tarps. Really gives them a sense of character. I will probably do a simple numeral on them. For more character

Ghost bear star got a quick start to highlights.

#wip #terrainmaking #scratchmade

#hobbystreak day 756

Model 32 for the year.
Finished up this objective base for #battletech, real fun quick piece. I need to resist doing more for now, I have rough plans for what is next.

I sponged in the colours for the trucks, the girls did not want to do it.

#wip #terrainmaking #scratchmade

#hobbystreak day 749

Blocking in mechs, these only happen in work breaks. Satisifying.

I blocked in colours with sponges on these trucks, I stopped witb three as I figured the girls will enjoy doing them with me.

#battletech #wip #terrainmaking #parenting

Battletech mech scale bunker

20 trucks sprayed black

25 infantry sprayed green

Clan star metals being blocked in

#hobbystreak day 747

Sprayed the trucks #terrainmaking, simple plan for them so they should be quick.

Got paint on #militiaimperialis infantry

20 trucks drying to join the spray queue

Hazard cloak blocked in

#Hobbystreak day 742

The trucks are all tarped up, they will need to wait for paint due to a snow warning. They have been a real fun pallette cleanse project.

The praetor proceeds slowly in wokr breaks. Hazard cloaks are fun.

#wip #terrainmaking #30k #ironwarriors

20 trucks, 19 ready for tarps, the will be scatter for various games

Pradtir cloak with hazards mocked in

#hobbystreak day 741

All of the trucks ready for tarps. I had fun decorating them in different ways, the vibes will change drastically once the tarps go on.

The praetor has had colours bkokced in and hazards on the cloak mocked in.

#30k #ironwarriors
#terrainmaking #wip #scratchbuilding #terrain

#hobbystreak day 740

The 19 follow on trucks have their panels shaped, and control units added. Next step is filling the cargo beds. I am looking forward to this, with 19 I can make a big variety.

4 coulours planned. Red weapons, yellow hazard, blue cargo, green transport

#wip #terrainmaking

#hobbystreak dat 739

Processing the trucks, half of them left to go before the fun of filling the beds. I plan a healthy variety. Including some mostly open to allow models to climb aboard.
