Great Redoubt

I paint more than I play. Historical Miniatures, Battletech, GW games and other stuff. account still active but mostly on the blue place these days.

Want to do some painting when you fly somewhere?

@Joe_Wargamer @geofftbond This seems to be a trend with Vallejo. I ran into this as well earlier this year:

@DuncanWGaming1 Is it the camera or does that Landser Grey look very green? The brown and khaki look very useful!

Assembled a box of the Perry Miniatures plastic French Chassuers a Cheval this weekend. Two boxes gives you a little over 4 squadrons at 1:20. Great miniatures.

Should have enough of an army to start gaming this spring!

@MammaMattsson @Gripping_Beast Excellent paintwork!

The procurement phase of my Napoleonics continues. Ordered the light cavalry brigade deal from Perry Miniatures along with a few other random bits.

Hope to be able to put on a game next month!

Spent some of last weekend cleaning up some 28mm metal Napoleonic minis.

I’ve used a cheap ultrasonic jewelry cleaner on metal rigs before priming for years. Grey dots in the cleaner are clumps of mould release powder and other gunk. This is from just 16 models.

[Great Redoubt @GreatRedoubt]

Cleaned up 72 metal napoleonic mins in about the same time it would’ve taken me to clean and assemble 16-20 multi-part plastic 28mm models.

A trade off exists between saving money and saving time.

Cleaning up some Front RankFrench Napoleonic reinforcement packs. Overjoyed to find one 24-pack having three drummers in greatcoat with the drum slung over their shoulder. :-)

@GenoftheEmpire A stripped-down version of “Setting the East Ablaze”

[Great Redoubt @GreatRedoubt]

No pulp game is complete without a U-Boat!

Some 28mm RCW/ Back of Beyond /Pulp models completed. Mostly brigade games minis.

[Great Redoubt @GreatRedoubt]

Hoping bsky starts working through their waiting list faster. Sorry to see some gamers I enjoy following leaving here for blue-er skies.

Setting the East Ablaze! October 1918. Anglo-Russian force vs Turkish Allies and German advisors.

[Great Redoubt @GreatRedoubt]

@PaintsDb Those will look great on the tabletop! Love the smooth finish on those white uniforms.

Working on some terrain for #battletech this morning. Quick & dirty painting - airbrushing basecoats, picking out a few details, washes and a lot of dry brushing.
