DAK is on the move in Egypt!!! mkl


These are tanks for the 21st Panzer Division 5th Panzer Regiment. There are 5 Panzer III with one M, 2 J lates, and 2 G models. There are also 2 Sd Kfz 222 and 1 Sd Kfz 231 (8-rad) armoured cars. I followed the GW paint guide in the Afrika book and then did an Ogryn wash with bit more Kommando Khaki dry brush. The numbers and symbols are all brushed so I take full credit for the ones which look good and of course the ones which look bad. The numbering is not all form the same unit is on purrpose. I am trying to do a force from the time period of the First Battle of El Alamein. By this time the armour in the DAK was depleted. I wanted to show that this unit was made from several depleted units. My infantry force has a bit of armour support. The armoured cars I love and will create a Panzerspah company in the future. For now they are the eyes of the schutzen company from the 104th Schutzen Regiment 2nd Schutzen Battalion.

GF Airplane Hangar



Here's my first "O" scale Plasticville building. I'm not sure what we'll use this for yet (40K, pulp, zombies, etc), but I simply love the model's diversity. The door opens and the roof comes off for easy access to the interior. I still haven't decided what to do about the flooring in there.

GF Mordor Troll WIP



A fun guy to paint, and a nice change of pace compared to the ACW masses. Still have the drums and helmet to do, along with much of the detail work.

GF ACW Progress?



132 of my 216 troops. Here they are assembled with a quick coat of Prussian Blue over everything. We'll worry about all of the details later, right?

DS - Agent Nick Lockhart in Sprechenhaltestelle


The contact is late, and Agent Lockhart grows concerned.

The year is 1981. The cold war is in full bloom. In the past eight months, three agents of the Special Intelligence Group have gone missing and two have been found dead in the neutral central European town of Sprechenhaltestelle. Growing concerned over the heating up of the cold war, S.I.G. Director J.J. Hubbard has dispatched Agent Lockhart to investigate the comings and goings on in this mysterious town of intrigue...

Another Copplestone Castings spy this time from the "Top Agents KKBB101 pack."

DS - KGB Spies....

More figures from Copplestone Castings! The item number is "KKBB111 - More KGB Men" from his Kiss Kiss Bang Bang line. The idea behind the figures is spies and agents from the 1960s. I think they really catch the feel of old James Bond films.

DS - Pulp Investigator

This is a character I painted up for a Call of the Cthulhu or pulp game. The model is from Copplestone Castings Gansters line, GN8 "Honest Citizens?" It was Grant's call on colours, (which I think worked out really well) and the idea to do the base as an interior wooden floor.

se twisted defiler on display base

After some success using the fencing material for scenery, I decided to use it to make a base with it. I found a couple of extra marines, got an acrylic rod and some gel media later we have a grusome scene.
