  • The Shadow War: Downed Pilots

    I still haven’t got round to painting up the Brits (still waiting on the MTP paints) but I did get my downed pilots all good to go. Looking at research pictures, there is 101 different sets of colour schemes and combinations worn by UK Apache pilots. Base layers can be different coloured coveralls or fatigues…

  • The Shadow War: TaskForce Wolverine

    So I’ve now finished the whole of Taskforce Wolverine as it stands. This is comprised of the 5 Green Berets I showed previously and their backup force of US Army Rangers tooled up to the nines. I’ve also tweaked up my painting style and added a brown wash at the end that really helps to…

  • The Shadow War: TaskForce Wolverine Pt 1. (US Army Operations)

    Currently based out ofย Djibouti, TaskForce Wolverine is a US Armyย taskforce formed from element of the 75th Rangers and a small number of US Green Berets acting as aย “fire brigade” that can easily be deployed to any number of theatres of war, for any number of operations from short raids up to longer term deployments. Current…

  • The Shadow War: Skirmish Sangin (and something more)

    So Shadow War is all well and good being just a painting project but what is it if there isn’t also some tabletop games. The only issue is that the rules from Spectre are not out just yet and I’d like to get some games in pretty soon. This led to me looking around for…

  • Spectre Miniatures Update: The Shadow War

    I’ve noticed a lot of hobby modellers seem to base their collections around one conflict in particular, such as the excellent Hotel Zugandoย I have really enjoyed reading recently. This makes a lot of sense, its gives your collection a good consistency and lets you tell a trail of stories that focus on your setting.ย However, instead…

  • Spectre Miniatures Update: Reinforcements

    I mentioned last time that I was missing a set of models from the Spectre Miniatures Kickstarter. Well, I’m happy to say that they turned up and are just what I was wanting. Sadly I’m lacking a good camera at the moment (my phone packed in and my temp one is a bit lacking) to…

  • Kickstarter Review – Spectre Miniatures

    Welp, the long-awaited Spectreย Miniatures Kickstarter models just turned up today. Before I begin, its important to point out that the guys in Nottinghamย managed to almost nail the delivery date – the models turned up just under a month later than planned which works out among the better delivery differencesย than many of the other Kickstarters I’ve…

  • Hasslefree Miniatures – Modern Troopers

    (Apologies for the photos) Back when I was a kid, I used to makes tons of models. Airfix commandos and tanks gave way to Lord of the Rings which for a while traded places with full-blown Warhammer 40k. Tiny soldiers I get to make myself? Sold. More recently, I’ve been flitting around – Flames of…

  • I’m Free!

    Well that’s all the teaching in this module done. I ended up having a race to the finish but got all the final work handed and I can now be ready for the summer. Sit back, relax and…. … go back in for one more group project before I leave Dundee. Outside of university, I have…
