	Chainsaw bazooka The Chainsaw Warrior(tm) fires a missile with fancy special effects.
	Ogre The final stages of a long-lost battle of Ogre miniatures.
	Ogre Ogre game in progress.
	Ogre It likes tiger stripes. You want to make something of it?
	Ogre Wider picture of the last stages.
	Ogre Action in the sidelines.
	Ogre The ogres on the prowl.
	Ogre Yet another Ogre shot.
	Ogre More Ogre.
	Ogre Somene tries a bit of flanking. The hill in the picture is the very first one I ever made. I didn't think of painting a base color first, and it shows...
	Ogre More ogrish action.
	Sky Galleons Is that 3.99 inches or 4.01?
	Sky Galleons of Mars I organized this game for RoPeCon as a sort of last minute thing.
	Generic Legions Surf Napoleon Must Die! in progress.
	Generic Legions Can't see me, I'm behind the house!
	Generic Legions The figures are an odd collection of old Space Marine plastics, some converted, and Renegade Legion plastics, plus a few others.
	Generic Legions It was a four-way battle.Worked surprisingly well, actually.
	Generic Legions Watch them burn... he he he... Smoking wrecks are SO much more satisfying than just removing casualties.
	Generic Legions More wrecks.
	Generic Legions Alf tanks don't seem to be using catalyctic converters...
	Generic Legions If I move this...
	Generic Legions Closeup on Earthie tanks.
	Generic Legions Napoleon advances.
	Generic Legions Hmmm... if I just happen to leave this ruler on the table here...
	Generic Legions Thing blow up in GL, which I find a jolly good thing. The vapid amount of dice rolling, OTOH, is not so good.
	Generic Legions The obligatory crotch shot.
	Generic Legions Jarmo and Hulk, two people who were able to stomach my games for unbelievably long.
	Generic Legions Napoleon is moving out.
	Generic Legions Isn't this aluminum suitcase cool? It's in almost every picture.
	Generic Legions The downside of seeing everyone is that everyone sees you... Air power does not tend to live too long in Generic Legions.
	Generic Legions Out of focus...
	Generic Legions Neat formation. But for how long?
	ShockForce I kinda liked the ideas in ShockForce, but somehow it didn't seem to work on tabletop.
	ShockForce I bought the cloth to make some field pieces, but in the end I don't think it was such a good idea. Here it's employed purely as a stopgap measure.
	Hover APC This is a Grendel model I believe. Another of my misguided attempts at funky camo schemes.
	Hover APC Maybe I should have used a darker blue, or another black line to emphasize the yellow more.
	Rise of the Machines Group shot of machinators. I'm no good at photography, so this shows rather painfully how shallow the focus is with macro setting. Maybe I should invest in a digital camera so I could see this stuff immediately instead of after getting the prints...
	Rise of the Machines Machines gathered before a ruined building.
	Rise of the Machines More machines! Actually, I painted 69 of these robot thingies in just two months or so (for me, this is blindingly fast).
	Rise of the Machines The machines smell blood...
	Rise of the Machines Stalking around the corner.
	Rise of the Machines Even semi-realistic 25mm buildings get rather big...
	Rise of the Machines The wall is nicely in focus... unfortunately the android is not.
	Rise of the Machines Surrounded! The lone genestealer seems to be up the creek... that's what you get when you haven't painted any hapless humans to be slaughtered. But he'll manage a few machinators.
	Rise of the Machines Or even a few more...
	Rise of the Machines ...or a few...hey! Wait a minute! This is not even remotely fair anymore! And even if the 'stealer wins, the tinmen won't be much of a lunch.
	Rise of the Machines I must attribute the neat fog effect to my total inaptitude with cameras.
	Rise of the Machines A distance shot of the machines. The sheet is exactly that, a bedsheet I bought and promptly ruined with splotches of brownish paints.
	Rise of the Machines The dreaded Red Shoulder Battalion.
	Rise of the Machines A fuzzy closeup of the Red Shoulders. Do not take macro shots without a tripod!
	Rise of the Machines Ruined city. I still got three more building to make...
	Rise of the Machines All six buildings (barely) in view.
	Rise of the Machines Next time, prop up the sheet better...
	Rise of the Machines Another view of the ruined city.
	Run away! The lone genestealer is running from the might of the machinators.
	Rise of the Machines Basic machinators.
	Rise of the Machines More machinators...
	Rise of the Machines These are plastic androids from the MB Space Crusade set.
	Rise of the Machines Red and White command figures. While I did the vast bulk of these figures in a very quick and dirty scheme, I spent some more time on a few "officer" models. Unfortunately, the white one didn't turn out so good.
	Rise of the Machines Another view of Red&White.
	Rise of the Machines White android shows his plastic heritage in the bent bayonet. Oh, damn...
	Urbania Terrain.
	Machinator One of Ville's.
	Machinators Two machinators, things are heating up...
	Heavy Machinator Or whatever...
	Machinators Hey, they have guns. No one told they would have guns. Not fair!
	Creeping around Hiljaa hiljaa hiivit��n nyt Kaardemumman y�ss�...
	Rent-a-bots Guarding an important installation.
	By the fence Rather nice fence, actually.
	Close encounters Whoopsie, where did that come from?
	Group meeting My name is 010100111 and I'm a robot...
	Machine City South City.
	Machine City North City. Overlaps previous picture.
	Machine City Ok, I managed to get it all in one shot. Maybe I should mount a permenent camera rest in the ceiling.
	Machine City Satellite view of South City.
	Machine City Satellite view of North City.
	Big Mama Top view of nearly finished Big Mama.
	Mishima LMG I took this shot to show the detail in to ammo belt. Normally, I would have just drybrushed it, but this time each round is individually highlighted with brass case and nickel-plated bullet.
	Big Mama and her boys The nearly finished set.
	Big Mama The white basic shapes for the camo are done.
	Mishima Basic red and black done.
	Mishima LMG Identical?
	Mishima After the red has been drybrushed. Should have gone for more contrast, again.
	Mishima There are only two poses in the basic WarZone packs, but with just eight troopers it's acceptable.
	Mishima Last details missing.
	Mishima LMG After base coating it black, I applied a thin layer of white. Now where's the sense in that?
	Mishima LMG and regular trooper with basic red applied.
	Mishima More white on black. Maybe it's hastily applied whitewash over neat black uniforms?
	Mishima Basic red, black and white done.
	Big Mama Front view with start of camo done. At first I thought I'd leave the legs unpatterned, but then changed my mind.
	Mishima Light grey shading applied on the white bits. I used to have real trouble painting white until I realised this trick. Now I have an old paint pot full of diluted light grey paint for stuff like this.
	Big Mama Basic black undercoat.
	Big Mama Basic red applied.
	Big Mama Chestnut wash applied over red parts. Yet again, more contrast would have been better.
	Big Mama Camo done. It's much easier to do this way around.
	Mishima Ready for basing.
	Mishima Ready for basing.
	Big Mama Side view of finished camo.
	Mishima The squad assembled. Need more lighting to take these pictures...
	Mishima Overhead view.
	Mishima Closeup of one trooper.
	Mishima LMG Ready to rock and roll.
	Mishima Too damn dark again...
	Mishima Back-shot!
	Mishima LMG I almost forgot to paint the ribbon. It's touched up on top of varnish.
	Mishima Maybe I should have given them blue pants...
	Mishima Ok, ok, so you're defending the crates. We've seen that already.
	Mishima Dramatic, too dark shot... damn... should have previewed these first...
	Big Mama This is how it turned out. I guess I could have added more detail, but by this stage I just wanted to get it finished.
	Big Mama Another view of the finished model. The base is done with actual rock dust. The more sensible among us might just use sand, but I scavenged some rock dust produced by rock drills in a nearby construction site.
	Big Mama I didn't smooth the weapon mounts with putty to show that they are interchangeable -- or maybe I was just lazy.
	Big Mama Top-down view. Actually, I guess the camo was ok after all.
	Big Mama Could use more detail and contrast in the belly area, but then again, players usually don't look at it from this angle anyway.

	Terrain It's a bird... It's a plane... It's LEGO!
	Meat Processing Plant 5 You can make terrain items out of anything. Ok, sticking to non-perishables is a good idea.
	Meat Processing Plant 5 I was supposed to add detailing to these, but I was too bored. Also, keeping them simple keeps them somewhat scaleless. These are equally ok with 28mm skirmish as microarmor.
	Meat Processing Plant 5 And the overhead view. The good thing about these boxes was that they had virtually no molded-on text or symbols. A quick whiff or sandpaper was enough.
	WIP: Alien landscape I snapped a picture of forthcoming terrain items.
	WIP: Cratered hill The surface texture, including the crater, is done with a hot air gun. Worked surprisingly well really.
	Alien landscape All of these terrain items were made from polyfoam. I guess I could do a pictorial about it if anyone's interested.
	Chainsaw Warriors These were Limited Edition figures to go with the launch of the Chainsaw Warrior boardgame, which I also have. The game is actually great fun, but has absolutely no use for miniatures (it's really a card game). Though a Meat Machine miniature sure would be nice...
	Chainsaw Warrior I was still using enamels when I did these. This guy has a SMG and a combat chainsaw.
	Chainsaw Warrior Another warrior, this time with Reaper HMG if I remember correctly.
	Chainsaw Warrior And another one with a missile launcher. Rather powerful weapon, but only four shots...
	Space Ninja Even hard vacuum can not stop Nippon's best!
	Space Ninja This is a simple conversion done with a Dixon ninja and a spare early 40K backpack.
	Renegade Legion: Centurion Closer view of the grav tanks.
	Renegade Legion: Centurion And the other half.
	Renegade Legion: Centurion Tiger stripes, ofcourse.
	Renegade Legion: Centurion The green ones in the back row are Liberator medium tanks while the red ones in the middle are medium APCs, plus a light tank in the front.
	Renegade Legion: Centurion TOG mediums were called Romulus and Remus, but I forget which was which.
	Renegade Legion: Centurion Light tanks. These colors are really boring, but the crappy models didn't really warrant much painting effort.
	Ogre Pan-European Fencer. I actually rather like the model. Too bad it was ruined by a batch of bad varnish I had...
	Ogre Another view of the Fencer. Note how bad the decals are.
	Ogre Fencer was sort of poor man's Ogre, if I recall correctly.
	Ogre A MkIII Ogre in Combine colors. The black scheme is a bit dull (and dusty!). I was trying for an eyeball effect here, but it really doesn't come through.
	Ogre Side view of MkIII Ogre.
	Ogre MkIII Ogre view from the top.
	Ogre This an Ogre MkV. I was going through my tiger stripe phase when I painted this one.
	Ogre I think the MkV is better than the black MkIII, but it is a bit monotonous. Perhaps the eyeball thing would have worked better with the two main batteries.
	Ogre MkV from the side. The join between front and rear hull is very weak for a very very heavy metal model.
	Ogre These are the old Ral Partha models. There's an error here: The MkV has only 12 AP batteries, therefore there are 4 extra ones in the back.
	Valkyrie This is a plastic model, 1/200 I think. Or even smaller, though the proportions may be off (very common with toys).
	Valkyrie That's a VF-1S Super, TV series version.
	Armored Valkyrie These were supposed to be the same scale (1/200), but as you can see, they're really not.
	Armored Valkyrie There are essentially toys, they're not very good models.
	Armored Valkyrie I did these when we were playing Mecha! a lot with 'full scale' models. These were for the light stuff, real men used 1/100 Macross or 1/144 Gundam models.
	Armored Valkyrie I'm really not very good at all with plastic models.
	Silent Death These are from the original Silent Death. They changed the designs for the second edition - some for the better, some for the worse.
	Silent Death This is a Salamander. It reminds me more of a condor or something, though. I absolutely hate the new model, this is a much better design.
	Silent Death As you can guess, these are still from the tiger stripe phase.
	Silent Death And this one is called Pharsii II, I think. It's seriously off-scale, it's really one of the heaviest fighters in the game.
	Silent Death Another view of the Pharsii.
	Renegade Legion: Centurion These are the models from the game box. Rather crappy, really, I've seen better stuff in cereal boxes.
	Kryomek Here's the Alpha Helion up close.
	Kryomek And another view of the Alpha Helion. I really need to think up another color scheme for these.
	Space Station Alpha This is my array of Kryomek Sci-Fi buildings. They are very good, actually.
	Space Station Alpha The models were obtained in four distinct phases. For the first and last I paid full price - rest were clearance sales.
	Space Station Alpha I think I'll have to get a bit more connecting corridors and perhaps a few light flak and squad bunkers. In this picture you see, left-to-right: communication tower, squad bunker, large missile silo and part of command bunker.
	Space Station Alpha Here's the command bunker with communication tower. A missile tower is behind that one. The good thing about these is that the tower/bunker tops are interchangeable. The bad thing, if I have to name one, is that every bleeding thing is bristling with guns. Ok for a lone gun tower or two, but it gets a bit ridiculous if you try to assemple a larger base.
	Space Station Alpha I got three of these missile silos from a clearance sale for next to nothing. I buy a lot of stuff from clearance sales...
	Sci-Fi tanks Some of these are already featured in some older photos, but I chose to reshoot them with the digital camera anyway.
	Sci-Fi tanks The teeny tank is a Warzone item, the medium ones are Kryomek and the big one is scratch-built.
	Sci-Fi tanks Kryomek hovercraft APC. The neat thing about these is that the upper and lower hull are separate (a limitation of the resin casting process). This means you can get a hover, grav, tracked and wheeled versions of the same tank. If you don't glue it down, you could even swap them as I think the hulls are all the same size.
	Sci-Fi tanks On the downside, they are a bit small. This is ofcourse a double-edged sword: On the plus side they don't take ridiculous amounts of tablespace. On the downside, they do look a bit puny if you have any other vehicles on the table.
	Sci-Fi tanks This was the first one of the tanks I painted, so it's in a rather dull all-green color scheme. There's a weak attempt at doing brownish camo streaks, but they don't show up well at all.
	Sci-Fi tanks Yeah, it's very bland.
	Sci-Fi tanks This one is the first attempt I made at Narn camo. As you can see, it looks nothing like the real thing, but relatively OK nonetheless.
	Sci-Fi tanks These tanks have a nice rough surface texture that drybrushes really well. The downside is that it's very hard to paint neat lines on it, as you can see in the edges of the camo pattern.
	Sci-Fi tanks This is a Kryomek alien tank I painted (badly) a long ago. Originally, the antennae were straight, they've been damaged in storage.
	Sci-Fi tanks This certaily isn't among my best work. In fact, it's downright ugly, and not in a positive sense.
	Sci-Fi tanks Maybe I should get another one and paint it better... maybe not.
	Sci-Fi tanks This is a scratch-built model I did inspired by an early Warhammer 40,000 article in White Dwarf.
	Sci-Fi tanks The base for the tank is a shampoo bottle (the WD original used a deodorant bottle). In addition it uses some bits from the bit box, plastic spoon, slottabases and a TV antenna casing.
	Sci-Fi tanks There are bits from a few Star Wars toys here (I think it was an Empire Strikes Back bounty hunter ship), various plastic models and ofcourse some GW bits.
	Sci-Fi tanks The bottom of the shampoo bottle was ugly, so I had to cover that up with something. Enter slottabases and some cotton for the exhaust. Note how illogical the design is - what are the sidemounted engines doing?
	Sci-Fi tanks The commanders meltagun came from a GW robot model. The cat is from a Grenadier familiars set. The stupid clip is from a Tamiya flakvierling kit and the coax MG is a Dark Future gun.
	Sci-Fi tanks I honestly can't remember how I did the cupola. It's topped off with a plastic shield and I presume the rest must be filled in with putty.
	Sci-Fi tanks Perhaps not a tank per se, this is an autonomous robot vehicle from Warzone Cybertronic line.
	Sci-Fi tanks Rather uninspired work, I must say.
	Sci-Fi tanks I stuck number three there for no particular reason - I only have one of these models (bought from a clearance sale).
	Sci-Fi tanks Thought the scratch-built tank was cool? Well, practice makes perfect I guess -- this is the prototype for that model.
	Sci-Fi tanks This one is butt-ugly. I think it's also the first scratch-build I ever did. I didn't have the proper tools and I was still painting with enamels and oh boy does it all show...
	Sci-Fi tanks But this one was actually made from a deodorant bottle. Here's the reason for it: It's a screw bottle, and the screw dial in the bottom makes a perfect engine exhaust without any additional work. Too bad I screwed the rest of it up...
	Ruins Official 40K ruins. These are actually rather nice, they're not hollow like most plastic facade style houses.
	Lava pools Expiremental terrain: lava pools.
	Lava pools These were made with 'crack' effect paint. Took several tries, the crackling effect sometimes worked and sometimes didn't.
	Cargo capsules A lone marine hiding among cargo capsules. These were made from easter egg innards. They're half-filled with sand to made them more stable.
	Cargo capsules Marines advance through the maze of cargo capsules in the loading bay. I made some singles and some clusters of three glued together for more stability.
	Kryomek I was very very uninspired about these miniatures.
	Kryomek That's black undercoat, then white on top with purple and red ink washes. Basically the same thing I did with my Palansi.
	Kryomek I just wanted these off my table... They really are rather nice minis, but for some reason they did not inspire me in the least.
	Kryomek These are basically black with heavy plum red drybrush.
	Kryomek More white with purple wash for the exposed bits.
	Kryomek The only inspired thing about these is that they're based with real coffee.
	Rick Dom This is a 1/200 HCM Pro model from Bandai.
	Rick Dom There is some minor assembly work, basically cutting the weapons off a sprue and snap-fitting them, but otherwise these come ready to play.
	Rick Dom It's really a tad too big for gaming (a little over 4 inches tall), and there's too much detail and removeable parts.
	Rick Dom Paintjob is neat but basic. Done in plastic model style, it doesn't have any highlights or weathering.
	Kids' Game II Niilo with his new MSM-03 Gogg direct from Japan.
	Kids' Game II Two MS-09 Doms on the prowl. Actually, one of them is a Rick Dom, but only real experts can tell them apart.
	Kids' Game II Saara's Dom takes a trickshot.
	Kids' Game II Dom vapes an APC and an ATG position.
	Kids' Game II Saara and Niilo prepare to move out.
	Kids' Game II Gogg and V Gundam posing. The V Gundam does not actually fit with the others (and the kids did notice), but I was short on kosher models.
	Kids' Game II Gundam and Gogg again.
	Kids' Game II Saara and Niilo getting ready to blast some tanks.
	Kids' Game II Saara and Niilo. Niilo still can't have a picture taken without striking a pose.
	Kids' Game II Gogg lurks in a ruined building.
	Kids' Game II Sigh... still more ruinscape to do...
	Kids' Game II Saara measures her move.
	Kids' Game II BTR-60 vs. hyperbazooka.
	Kids' Game II Doms scour the city.
	Kids' Game II SU-100 tries to ambush.
	Kids' Game II Gundam to the rescue.
	T-55 1/35 is a tad too big for even modern 28mm models.
	Starships While not actually a game of Full Thrust, it looks very much like one...
	Starships Can you count how many starships are in this picture? Meteors don't count.
	Starships Old GW Spacefleet ships. These are officially troop transports, cargo ships and shield ships if I recall correctly. Small wonder they were the only ones left in the discount bin.
	Starships A closer look at the old Spacefleet ships. Even though these ships were next to useless in the rules, they are rather nice models, actually.
	Starships Castellan shield ship, I think.
	Starships This is a troop transport from old Spacefleet range.
	Starships Originally, this was a cargo ship.
	Starships Another view of the old Spacefleet ships.
	Starships A pair of ESU ships from GZG.
	Starships An ESU fleet carrier.
	Starships An ESU battledreadnought.
	Starships A squadron of NAC ships from GZG.
	Starships I believe the small ones are frigates from the NAC range.
	Starships This must be a NAC destroyer.
	Starships I believe this is a NAC light cruiser. I chose this color scheme because I had too much Rotten Flesh left and couldn't think of another use for it.
	Starships A NAC battledreadnought from GZG. I actually liked the old asymmetrical setup more.
	Starships Another view of the NAC battledreadnought.
	Starships A NAC fleet carrier. This was a bitch to put together...
	T-55 This is a 1/35 Trumpeter model built as a generic science fiction tank.
	Starships Top view of the NAC carrier. The colored stripe is a transfer from a long lost car kit.
	Starships This is built from a cheap Super Cobra kit and various bits box parts including conning tower parts from a Graf Spee and a Legioss missile launcher.
	Starships If this picture was sharper, you might actually how it doesn't really have any details.
	Starships This is a Gundam kit. A Gwazin from OYW era.
	Starships Another view of the Gwazin.
	Starships A Musai kit from Gundam painted in very unofficial colors (normally they're all dark green).
	Starships Side view of the Musai. The horns have broken off, as true experts can immediately tell. Unfortunately, these kits aren't really sturdy enough for gaming.
	Starships Ok, it's a Bird of Prey and a Ferengi Marauder I got from an Adversaries set. The Romulan Warbird which was the main feature in the box never got finished.
	Starships Closer view of the Bird of Prey. While ok, I wish I had painted it better and given the wings more detail.
	Starships Another view of the Bird of Prey.
	T-55 This is also the first model I've really painted with an airbrush. I got myself an Iwata HP-C and some Vallejo ModelAir, so I can only blame myself for the lousy results... ok, it's better than I expected.
	Starships I really don't know which way it should face... My knowledge of Star Trek, especially beyond TOS is extremely limited.
	Starships A couple of heavy conversions. One is based around a diecast Hind-D toy while the other one is pure bits box wonder.
	Starships But this one sports a decal from a Hind-D kit...
	Starships Closer view of the conversion wonder. This one got the smokestack from the Graf Spee.
	Starships This is converted from a Mk14 Bullock jetbike.
	Starships A Kra'Vak squadron ready to blow some humans to bits.
	Starships A small (frigate?) Kra'Vak ship from GZG.
	Starships A Kra'Vak destroyer, I think. Originally the KV were horribly overpowered RPG-style alien menace until Fleet Book 2 toned them down to reason.
	Starships Some sort of Kra'Vak cruiser from GZG.
	Starships A slightly bigger cruiser for the Kra'Vak.
	T-55 Niilo can't keep his hands off it.
	Starships The biggest Kra'Vak ship I've got, and in my opinion, about the largest playable size.
	Starships Scratch-built wonder. Made from LEGOs, a toothpaste cap and a small Titan part.
	Starships The gray color scheme is a bit dull, though.
	Starships The BattleTech fighters, again from a discount bin. They're not the same thing! The little one is a Liao Thrush and the slightly bigger one is a Kurita model, if memory serves me right.
	Starships Apart from these guys, I also have a half-built Chippewa stuck around somewhere...
	Starships Silent Death ships, old skool. These are from the time the game still had Metal Express as a subtitle.
	Starships Revenge from the Silent Death line. I really like the look of it, but it's very boring in the game - a pure torpedo delivery platform and that's it.
	Starships Two Pit Vipers in the foreground and two Teal Hawks in the back. The one thing common with both designs is that they're both very fast and they're both next to useless in a fight.
	Starships The real powerhouse of the game, Night Hawk. Undercosted and sporting very lethal weaponry. Curiously, in all the example scenarios the Night Hawk pilots have lowest possible gunnery scores...
	Starships Thunderbirds from Silent Death. Another less than optimal design.
	T-55 Rear detail. Note how the mesh is loose and partly clogged with paint.
	Starships Two Talon fighters from Silent Death. I got these later than most of the ships, that's why the shade of red is wrong.
	Starships Epping gunboat, the only gunboat design in the original game.
	Starships Another view of the red Epping.
	Starships The tiger squadron. This happened to be my tiger stripe period.
	Starships Salamanders from Silent Death, I think. I like this design, and it's relatively ok in the game too.
	Starships Pharsii II. Out of scale compared to the rest of the ships, it's supposed to be just about the heaviest fighter money can buy... Note the small color variations - you can tell the units apart, just not very quickly.
	Starships I forget what this model is called, but it's the KV-1 of Silent Death - overarmored, undergunned and butt-ugly.
	Starships Tiger squadron Epping.
	Starships Another view of the Epping.
	Starships Another nice looking Silent Death design, Sorensen III. And yet again, crappy stats.
	T-55 The tank is intentionally painted in a nondescript color scheme with bogus insignia. Oh, and note the scratched toolbox - the model isn't quite to scale it seems.
	Starships Black squadron Silent Death ships.
	Starships Another Night Hawk.
	Starships Another of these lumbering thingies... what was the name?
	Starships A Shryak shuttle from Silent Death. Somewhat capable of self defence, actually, with a quad-mount laser in a 360 turret.
	Starships A black Epping.
	Starships Some Spirit Riders from Silent Death. It's actually a very good light fighter - I just never liked the model that much.
	Starships A close look at a Spirit Rider.
	Starships I really don't like these... especially the horrible paintjobs. I think these were among the first Silent Death Minis I painted.
	Starships A couple of Pit Vipers escorting a pair of Shryak shuttles.
	Starships Pit Viper up close.
	T-55 You will note that the upper and lower hull did not come together neatly at the front. I painted the subassemblies separately to keep paint off the treads and this is what I got for it...
	Starships A Shryak shuttle.
	Starships Another Shryak shuttle. When I was into this game, I scoured the local shops and bought practically all the Silent Death minis they had.
	Starships The White Tigers. Actually, I was going for a zebra look, but it's more white tiger.
	Starships Another Salamander.
	Starships And a Thunderbird of the White Tigers.
	Starships Actually, I did not paint this bunch. When we were into Silent Death, I painted most of the stuff as usual. However, a friend of mine (who can actually paint) did a small number of them.
	Starships As these things go, the models found a new home in my collection.
	Starships Sigh... I wish I was half this good.
	Starships Well, not actually starships, but a lone beacon in an asteroid field. These are the original stands from Silent Death, and I hated them. So I bought the plastic flight stands instead and made these into asteroids.
	T-55 I think this was actually the first 1/35 scale model I've built.
	T-55 A couple of Cobalt Mercenaries stand on top of a new tank. The hatches appear to be ok sizewise, but everything else is too big.
	Jungle trees Note for purists: They're NOT sold as palm trees. I actually did not buy these, they sort of came as freebies with lots of stuff. It says you can build four trees from a set, but that's only because there's too few stumps. Base them yourself, and you can build roughly twice that number.
	Crashed shuttle Auto-correct my ass! The sheet ain't this red in real life. These are shuttle pieces from the Battle for Macragge boxed set, which is excellent value for money.
	Crashed shuttle I actually have two of these. I friendly person gave me one as a freebie. Thanks!
	Crashed shuttle This piece has a design flaw: it has no bottom inside. I solved this by glueing a bit of black cardboard under it.
	Crashed shuttle The interesting question is, could you glean enough information from these pieces to build a believable model of an intact shuttle? The front and tail are easy enough, but the mid-section would need to be extrapolated.
	Crashed shuttle And here's a peek at the fusion core.
	Crashed shuttle The other wing section. Heretically, I chose to use red trim instead of the blue and black in the box art. In addition, the hull gray has a slight yellow tint, though that might be hard to see in the photos.
	Pilot Oopsie, this is the last of the Macragge stuff. I tried writing on the thing he carries, but the varnish made it all fuzzy.
	Pilot The pilot from behind.
	Wreck I had this Hind-D semi-assembled for a looong time. I finally decided to do something with it.
	Wreck But since I built it really crappy and it's wrong scale anyway, made it into a wreck. The tail was already missing, I sawed the body in half.
	Wreck I painted the crew compartment maybe 15 years ago.
	Wreck The green color stems from the simple fact that I just happened to have that color in a spray can.
	Wreck The sand may seem a bit odd, but it's there to hide some god-awful seams.
	AT-AT This is a really sucky AMT/ERTL model I built many many years ago.
	AT-AT It had been sitting in my storage gathering dust. I decided to give it to a friend as a gift, so I had to take a few pictures before letting it go.
	AT-AT For some reason I just had to plaster it with a variety of decals...
	AT-AT Argh! Look at that seam! Horrible...
	AT-AT The plastic is very soft and the detail on small parts is pretty blurry. Not as blurry as this shot, though...
	Kryomek My Kryomek finally finished! I had these sitting on my desk for a very very long time. I really like the figures but for some reason I just couldn't find the inspiration to paint them.
	Kryomek The obligatory overhead view. I must say these are probably my most uninspired figures to date.
	Kryomek Some Alpha Hellions I think. Initially I thought about doing the same color scheme as with my tyranids, but these guys don't really have enough carapace for it.
	Kryomek More Alpha Hellions.
	Kryomek Hellions, I forget which type these are. Anyway, I like this worm type better than the puppy dog ones.
	Kryomek It's a real pity to see fine figures such as these so crappily painted. But at least they don't haunt my desk anymore.
	Kryomek More Hellions.
	Kryomek Warrior drone or somesuch. This figure is a bit hard to assemble.
	Kryomek I went for the universal color scheme as with my tyranids, but in retrospect it might have been better to paint the gun in a different color -- it's not really a part of the creature as it is with the 'nids.
	Kryomek Closeup of the warrior.
	Kryomek Carapace detail. The purple section is just an inkwash over the gray paint.
	Zombie troopers The obligatory overhead view.
	Zombie troopers These are actually dipped.
	Zombie troopers Yes, it's Warzone stuff I got for a song.
	Zombie troopers Ridiculous shoulder pad...
	Zombie troopers The guns are kinda silly.
	Zombie troopers I like this one the most.
	Troopers Void troopers. I fail to recall which faction these are from.
	Troopers Tried semi-realistics camo with these.
	Troopers The obligatory overhead view.
	Troopers I tried to emulate reddish bakelite mags that Kalashnikovs sometimes have.
	Troopers The gun's way too big for her.
	Troopers Not too happy with how the white t-shirts turned out.
	Troopers And the helmets look a bit dumb.
	Troopers The other girl, gun is still too big.
	Cops Copplestone Future Warriors cops. I quite like these chaps.
	Cops They come in two packs, pistol and shotgun.
	Cops Backside.
	Cops I painted these basically because I wanted to game Kane and Lynch.
	Cops Nightstick action from behind.
	Cops Two more. Note the weird grip the guy has on his shotgun. So maybe it's a semi after all...
	Cops More cops from behind.
	Cops Two pistoleros. And another weird shooting pose. Though I've seen real people shoot like that.
	Cops Pistoleros from behind.
	Cops This is the only female cop in the set.
	Cops The trenchcoat guy is presumably a detective or something.
	Cops Trenchie from behind.
	Space Comrades The last few comrades getting finished.
	Loot Got some stuff from Mantic sale. Frankly, I have clear idead what to do with these, but they were dirt cheap.
	Bugs, Mr. Rico, millions of them! Well, 28 anyway. In the works.
	Alabaster The Alabaster box came in finally.
	Alabaster Sneak peek at the contents.
	Bugs Another batch of bugs. Looks pretty much like the first one, doesn't it?
	Bugs I chose the same color scheme I used for my tyranids. It worked surprisingly well on these.
	Bugs The parts were a pain to clean.
	Bugs The obligatory overhead view.
	Bugs More bugs.
	Bugs The first batch of bugs is done.
	Bugs The obligatory overhead view.
	Bugs Closeup. I'm trying to show the hideous joint, but it isn't really visible from here.
	Bugs Getting closer...
	Bugs Well, it's evident down there.
	Bugs This is what I was talking about. The fit of the lower body half pieces is hideous. They really should be puttied, but that would increase the already slow assembly time for these essentially bulk troops. Sigh...
	Bugs I used the same basic method as with my tyranids lon ago...
	Chem Troopers I got two blisters, which means I have two identical sets of five troopers. Not how dumb the hold on the pump-action shotgun is.
	Chem Troopers These are Copplestone chem troopers.
	Chem Troopers They're done in a sort of hybrid style. The main body is tradiotional wash/drybrush while details are 3-color.
	Chem Troopers The flame tanks are freehand, which shows.
	Chem Troopers Gotta practice that brush control a little more.
	Chem Troopers The pointy guys tend to be the leaders.
	Chem Troopers The obligatory overhead view.
	Chem Troopers The bases are a bit bland.
	Bugs I would like to say this is the final batch, but I actually ordered another box of these.
	Bugs I could just have photographed the previous batch again... but actually this batch has a slightly lighter tone. I didn't use quite as much black in the wash.
	Bugs This is the first time I really had trouble fitting all the figures in the studio space.
	Bugs I can't even fit them all in the obligatory overhead view.
	Bugs The obligatory overhead view.
	Starship Troopers Some materials for Project S2.
	Macross loot I totally forgot I had ordered these.
	Macross loot They're collectable toys from Japan.
	Macross loot Some assembly required.
	Macross loot Oh, Rick!
	Macross These are some Japanese capsule toys I bought on a whim.
	Macross Why western prepainted stuff never seems to match the quality of these I never quite understood.
	Macross Yup, there's a Valkyrie.
	Macross Not really familiar with this one, these are from a newer Macross variation I have no knowledge of.
	Macross I think it's vaguely based on the A-6 Intruder.
	Macross A newer style of Valkyrie.
	Project S2: Battle For The Jones Farm The stalwart defendenders reach for higher ground.
	Project S2: Battle For The Jones Farm Remember to watch both ways before crossing!
	Project S2: Battle For The Jones Farm Oh no, they got sprayed!
	Project S2: Battle For The Jones Farm Mmmm... tasty donut!
	Project S2: Battle For The Jones Farm It's getting interesting...
	Project S2: Battle For The Jones Farm Starting to look dangerous.
	Project S2: Battle For The Jones Farm More bugs to the dead pile.
	Project S2: Battle For The Jones Farm Final defensive position, maybe?
	Project S2: Battle For The Jones Farm More bugs crawling out of a hole.
	Project S2: Battle For The Jones Farm The hole isn't as good as it sounds unless you can tunnel right under the troopers, because you can only exit 5 warriors in a turn.
	Project S2: Battle For The Jones Farm Bugs trampling the fields.
	Project S2: Battle For The Jones Farm Back against the wall.
	Project S2: Battle For The Jones Farm And then the tasty things jump away...
	Project S2: Battle For The Jones Farm The Jones farm and surroundings.
	Project S2: Battle For The Jones Farm The Jones farm.
	Project S2: Battle For The Jones Farm Bugs behind a small patch of woods.
	Project S2: Battle For The Jones Farm The defense line.
	Project S2: Battle For The Jones Farm They're crawling all over the place.
	Project S2: Battle For The Jones Farm Shoot, shoot shoot!

	Grande Fiesta De Bug Lunch deploys.
	Grande Fiesta De Bug Starters move forward.
	Grande Fiesta De Bug Surprise!
	Grande Fiesta De Bug Where did all my buddies go? Still, four warriors for one chickenleg is a more than a fair trade.
	Grande Fiesta De Bug Flank guard hiding in the woods.
	Grande Fiesta De Bug Bugs are getting chewed up. They not very suited for static defense.
	Grande Fiesta De Bug Lunch moves forward.
	Grande Fiesta De Bug Sarge, we got there. Now, who's got the bomb?
	Grande Fiesta De Bug The other flank.
	Grande Fiesta De Bug The countryside looks peaceful.
	Grande Fiesta De Bug I was sure you brought it. No, you were supposed to bring the charge, I was supposed to bring the detonator.
	Grande Fiesta De Bug Oops, looks like someone lives here.
	Grande Fiesta De Bug Looks like we're surrounded, sir!
	Grande Fiesta De Bug Hey, there's no one left to look out sir anymore. Maybe we should tactically redeploy?
	Grande Fiesta De Bug So near, yet so far away.
	Grande Fiesta De Bug Retreat blocked.
	Grande Fiesta De Bug Excuse me, but we were leaving...
	Grande Fiesta De Bug Brave survivors.
	Grande Fiesta De Bug Defense of the nest completed.
	Grande Fiesta De Bug Menu.
	Grande Fiesta De Bug Reserve forces.
	Blaster Bugs I guess these guys are pretty much done.
	Hopper Attack! New hopper flight ready to bounce into the air.
	Hopper Attack! I tried a slightly different wing pattern this time, but I'm still not too happy about it.
	Hopper Attack! Hoppers looking for things to eat.
	Hopper Attack! Natural habitat, obviously.
	Hopper Attack! Blending into the environment.

	Hopper Attack! Ready to pounce on unsuspecting passers by.
	Hopper Attack! Yum yum, I like plum.
	Hopper Attack! Natural camouflage.
	Consoles Finished consoles. I'm not happy with the displays, gotta try something else next time.
	Dropship The kit is nearing completion.
	Dropship It's all assembled now.
	Dropship After priming.
	Dropship It was pretty fast to put together after all.
	Dropship I just sprayed on a gray basecoat.
	Dropship The tail is a bit crooked.
	Dropship The tail is pretty fagile.
	Dropship The obligatory overhead view.
	Dropship One of the machinegun barrels was broken and I couldn't find the broken off bit in the box.
	Dropship The dropship on the ground. The landing feet don't look very good but they're largely hidden.
	Dropship There's so many panel lines it gets a bit difficult to place decals.
	Dropship This is a Grendel 28mm resin model. It's pretty reasonably priced.
	Daleks in the soup Ahh... it's so nice and refreshing.
	Drying time Shake it off, baby!
	Cybervasion! Watch out Canary Wharf!
	Cybervasion! These are Black Tree models. They're a mix of old cybermen styles.
	Cybervasion! The earmuff style.
	Cybervasion! Argh! The polarity has been reversed!
	Cybervasion! The obligatory overhead view.
	Cybervasion! These guys have a creepy face.
	Cybervasion! Well, these are not much less creepy.
	Cybervasion! More cybermen.
	Cybervasion! I really wanted to add some color, but it just wouldn't have been true to the source.
	Cybervasion! These are soft plastic toys I got off eBay. The scale is okay, but they're really pretty crappy models.
	Trooper This is a Warzone Bauhaus Ducal militia from the 2nd edition box set.
	Trooper I painted this as a sampler because I couldn't figure out what to do with these....
	Trooper These models are really irritating to put together, and at least the backpack really should be painted before assembly.
	Trooper The obligatory overhead view.
	Baughast Recruitment Baughast troopers waiting for the final touches.
	Baughast Recruitment Baughast officers lined up.
	Baughast Recruitment Varnish time.
	Baughast Recruitment Drying in the racks. Actually, they need a final whiff of varnish to protect the penwork I did for the symbols.
	Baughast Invasion! The Baughast are done!
	Baughast Invasion! They are a pretty dark lot.
	Baughast Invasion! I quite like how the blanket rolls pop out.
	Baughast Invasion! A closer look at the menace.
	Baughast Invasion! The obligatory overhead view.
	Baughast Invasion! Quite frankly, I think these turned out better than I thought they would.
	Baughast Invasion! Some details from the backpacks.
	Baughast Invasion! The Baughast patches are 1/300 Japanese hinomaru transfers for aircraft. I just penned in the black symbol afterwards.
	Baughast Invasion! The eyeglow could be better, maybe I should have tried a wash...
	Baughast Invasion! Another look at the shoulder patches.
	Baughast Invasion! Top of the world, Ma!
	Baughast Invasion! Ofcourse the camera decided to focus on the back rank.
	Baughast Invasion! I guess now is the time to dig up the rest of the figures I have tucked away somewhere...
	OGRE unboxed My OGRE box finally arrived.
	OGRE unboxed The counter sheets.
	OGRE unboxed OGRE garage, this takes roughly half the box.
	OGRE unboxed Maps are all classic ones just larger and nicely mounted.
	OGRE unboxed The back cover.
	OGRE unboxed When was the last time you saw this on a boardgame? And it's not a joke.
	Hammer's Slammers Here's my infantry.
	Hammer's Slammers These are all GZG 15mm figures, they're pretty nice.
	Hammer's Slammers The obligatory overhead view.
	Hammer's Slammers I did not feel like switching back and forth with the skimmer bases so I included one skimmer on each base to indicate they are so equipped.
	Hammer's Slammers Initially I intended to have the same amount of figures on each base but then I remembered my episode with the VC and put one less on the buzzbomb bases. This left a couple of figures over to do command bases.
	Hammer's Slammers These turned out nicer than I thought they would.
	Looking For Droids It's Mos Eisley and... an AT-AT?
	Looking For Droids Juicy speeder bikes available.
	Looking For Droids Hey, it's Luke's speeder!
	Looking For Droids Jabba makes an entrance.
	Looking For Droids There are some valuable droids in there somewhere.

	Looking For Droids Jabba gets C3PO out.
	Looking For Droids Don't you dare point that blaster at me! Do you want a prize on your head?
	Looking For Droids AT-AT towers over everything else.
	Looking For Droids Greedo makes an appearance.
	Drone Attack The drone from above. The camo doesn't really work against a green ground, now does it?
	Drone Attack This is a drone from Mongoose's old Starship Troopers line. I painted it because it has lots of flat surfaces for testing out the new stencils I got from Anarchy models.
	Drone Attack The obligatory overhead view.
	Drone Attack I should have been bolder with the stencils and let them go over the edges of the model more.
	Drone Attack The drone has an extremely slim profile head on.
	Drone Attack I left the underbelly pale gray.
	Drone Attack It's perhaps a bit uninspired, but it was really just a test piece.
	Drone Attack Rear view.
	Gundam Collection I got these a few years ago for a project that never got off the ground. They are 1/400 MS Collection figures.
	Gundam Collection I took these pictures so I would have some idea what I actually have...
	Mecha Loot Darn the toymakers and their sense of scale... or lack thereof.
	Terminators And here's my new terminator force.
	Terminators The obligatory overhead view.
	Terminators They're maybe a little bit sparsely based, but hey, they're terminators!
	Terminators A kept a couple of sniper bases separate.
	Terminators These come from a variety of manufacturers I think.
	Terminators There's also quite a bit of variance in the sizes.
	Terminators I decided to base the heavy weapons with three figures per base, but that resulted in most bases being heavy weapons. Oh well, maybe I'll get another batch of lightly armed robots at some point.
	Terminators The big guys bear a striking resemblance to a fan favorite robot... but I painted them silver anyway.
	Terminators The basing is pretty dull actually. But somehow green pastures don't really work with these guys.
	VOTOMS This one's a gashapon vinyl Berserga I weathered.
	VOTOMS It looks a lot better, but I'm still not quite satisfied with it...
	Deadzone Loot My remaining Deadzone items arrived. I stll haven't done squat with the game.
	Imperial Muster What's wrong with the men Carruthers? They are running around like headless chicken!
	Imperial Muster Visibility restored.
	Imperial Muster After priming, always just dump the figures in a box and call it good. No, not really...
	Imperial Muster The ranks arranged. There is the lone test trooper I did many years ago somewhere... I'm not repainting it.
	Imperial Muster Getting the basic color on.
	Imperial Muster It's all starting to shape up.
	Imperial Muster Ready to paint the armor plates.
	Imperial Muster In process of painting the gaiters and webbing.
	Imperial Muster These guys are pretty much ready for a wash.
	Imperial Muster After the wash, all muddy and dirty.
	Imperial Muster Repainting the guns black and stuff.
	Imperial Muster These guys are basically just missing the backpacks now.
	Imperial Muster This time I decided to paint the backpacks separately. It's a mixed blessing, I'd say.
	Imperial Assault Here's the Imperial Platoon. My camera ate the overhead view, so this is the best we have.
	Imperial Assault These are the old Warzone plastics from the 2nd edition box.
	Imperial Assault They are not stellar figures, but ok.
	Imperial Assault The backpack fit is hideous in places.
	Imperial Assault Long ago I painted one of these as a sampler and promptly forgot where I put it.
	Imperial Assault I really don't like the machineguns, they are pretty stupid with these otherwise relatively realistic figures.
	Imperial Assault I also cut off the bayonets because I thought they looked stupid.
	Imperial Assault Perhaps I should have trimmed off the pointless drum mags as well...
	Imperial Assault Here's a closer look at some of the troopers. I planned to put insignia on them but I didn't have enough decals.
	Imperial Assault There's four squads of ten in total.
	Imperial Assault Hmmm... I quite like this shot actually.
	The Backups I wasn't quite sure which figures to use for Eyes Front, so I got two alternatives. These are the ones left out.
	The Backups The obligatory overhead view.
	The Backups Maybe I'll do more dogs. They offer quite a lot of possibilities.
	The Backups The arm is a bit weird pose.
	The Backups Weirdly the stances are very similar.
	The Backups Rear view.
	The Backups I quite like how the jeans turned out.
	The Backups He's almost too big for a 25mm base.
	Eyes Front Here they are.
	Eyes Front The obligatory overhead view.
	Eyes Front It all started with the quote, really.
	Eyes Front The minis are from Hasslefree and they're splendid.
	Eyes Front It was a kitten but I modded it a bit.
	Eyes Front The shrubbery livens it up rather nicely.
	Eyes Front The scatter is tea leaves.
	Eyes Front The blocks are Hirst Arts.
	Eyes Front Ha! I found the secret!
	Corpses These are deluxe counters from Sedition Wars, first of the million dollar duds from Kickstarter.
	Mechasnake The Mechasnake!
	Mechasnake The head is from an Asterian drone.
	Mechasnake Initially I meant to put it on a slightly smaller base, but... it kinda grew.
	Mechasnake Side view.
	Mechasnake Profile picture. Hard to get the whole thing in a picture.
	Mechasnake I kept the base intentionally pretty bare.
	Mechasnake It's mostly made on bolts and wooden beads.
	Mechasnake Rattle it off!
	Project Pandore test game The activation system is actually pretty clever.
	Stargrunt II test game Well, I had this set up so I'm going to use it.

	Dreadball Players Their special ability hangs on having specific cards in hand.
	Dreadball Players I painted the bases black, easier than trying to keep the clear part clean.
	Dreadball Players Tree Sharks in their glory.
	Dreadball Players I'm not sure if there's two captain figures or what the other one is supposed to be.
	Dreadball Players I went with pretty muich the official colors for these.

	Dreadball Players Funny how the prone players are zee while none of the standing players are...
	Dreadball Players It was a bit hard to give these a unifying theme.
	Dreadball Players And we have a captain too.
	Dreadball Players I went with the cadaver like skin tone.
	Dreadball Players Refbot and game markers.
	Dreadball Players Refbot and game markers.

	Scorpion Tank I magnetized the turret.
	Scorpion Tank The detail elvel in parts isn't that hot actually.
	Scorpion Tank Profile looks nice.
	Scorpion Tank I glued the cockpit shut.
	Alien beasts These are from Archon Studios.
	Alien beasts I bought these used. For some reason I got two of everything.
	Alien beasts I tried painting these with GreenStuff World dipping inks.
	Alien beasts I tried two slightly different paint schemes.
