Broom Riders

The question is do I cast them up or just paint them for myself?

TWDC Lord S' Hunting chaps for Salute

With a bit of luck these should be ready for Salute.

Back when TWDC started Lord S demanded that I get to work on a set of chaps for his personal collection. A year later and the first set are finally ready...

Combat Stress charity miniature.

Wocha,

Now that the official announcement has been made I feel comfortable releasing a few pictures of this miniature.

I was pleased to be asked to produce a miniature to support Holybush House, The ex-serives mental welfare society. Seeing as it fitted in with what I'm doing at the moment I was asked to produce a miniature for the world war one era. Of course back then there was no such term as combat stress, the common term being shell shock. Diagnosis was by no means frequent and the condition was somewhat brushed under the table, many sufferers being sent back to the front with little or no support. It is well known these days that many sufferers were unable to cope with the relentless pressures of the conflict and the reaction of their peers and superiors would be seen today as ruthless and unconcionable. Today the recognition and support available for those suffering is far greater than that available to the fighting man of 90 years ago but there is always more we can do.

The miniature.
As well as a fundraising piece to aid the assistance of current sufferers I chose to make the WW1 model a memorial to those who's condition was unregognised and whose actions called into question. I hope I've managed to pull it off.



Stay lucky,
Soaps.

New WW1 bits

Wocha,

Officers, NCOs and bombers for the Brits and Ottomans in full uniform have been sent off for casting. I managed to misplace the flashdrive with most of the pictures on it so you'll have to make do with these few until the Beasty boys can come up with something.

(Photos show some random heads I had lying around, they look a bit silly without them...)

Sorry, didn't I mention there were Lewis gunner teams? Well there are, two of them.


These are the last WW1 bits before Salute as I have some other bits and bobs to get done in time for that show, there after I want to get a good chunk of the French done as I want to use them in the GB campaign day that I am running at the end of June. What? NO, surely I've mentioned this already? NO? Ah...

Lets just say for now, back end of June, late war western front, one day multi-player campaign day at Beast HQ. I'll gloss over the rest for now but lets pretend you all know the details already and that it will come as no suprise when the details are posted here or on the Beast website.

Anyway I'm off for now.

Stay lucky,
Soaps.

Local travel...

Snowboard, cunning.
