Samurai
The three samurai -- we're on a budget here.
|
|
Samurai
See how the water gleams... oh, there are some figures in the picture too.
|
|
Samurai
Hybrid style: Flesh is 3-color while the cloth is still traditional wash and drybrush.
|
|
Samurai
Here the cloth is 3-color but it's not the official Foundry palette. Contrast is too stark.
|
|
Samurai
Again, the cloth is inkwashed while flesh is 3-color.

Samurai
All facing the pond.

WWI Hochseeflotte
All German foreign stations ships, 1914. Plus a couple who weren't really there...
|
|
WWI Hochseeflotte
The sisters lead the way.
|
|
WWI Hochseeflotte
Weird funnels on these ones.
|
|
WWI Hochseeflotte
These three light cruisers were in Graf Spee's squadron at Falklands.
|
|
WWI Hochseeflotte
The ill-fated light cruisers from above.
|
|
WWI Hochseeflotte
These two are just along for the ride. They weren't really at foreign stations at the start of the war.
|
|
WWI Hochseeflotte
Dresden up close. Unfortunately the model was pretty badly cast with serious mold misalignment.
|
|
WWI Hochseeflotte
Leipzig and her thick funnels.
|
|
WWI Hochseeflotte
Why, isn't in Nürnberg...
|
|
WWI Hochseeflotte
Lone raider of the West Indies, unfortunately her career was cut short by an ammo explosion.
|
|
WWI Hochseeflotte
The Devil of the Rujifi delta. What a wonderful way to spend a war...
|
|
WWI Hochseeflotte
Emden, the gallant little thorn in the Empire's backside. Truth is stranger than fiction.
|
|
WWI Hochseeflotte
Rostock was safely in Germany.
|
|
WWI Hochseeflotte
Bremen was also not there...
|

Terrain boards
Test setup using the new terrain boards.
|
|
Terrain boards
My hills are too big...
|
|
Improving the layout
Saara and Niilo are not satisfied with the layout. Daddy forgot all the treasure chests, beds to sleep in and so on...
|
|
Improving the layout
Distributing the treasures. In the game, Niilo felt bad because he could not reach the center of the table...
|
|
Samurai
Painted fully in Foundry 3-color style, with official Foundry colors. I think I am getting better at this (the yellowish tint is just the camera).
|
|
Samurai
And his backside.
|
|
Samurai
Why is he looking up? Searching for some rooftop ninjas perhaps?
|
|
Galleys
A selection of ancient galleys spanning from the Persian wars to Byzantine. I had these half-finished on my desk for a very long time... a couple of years. Now I just have to decide how to base them...
|
|
Galleys
I decided to leave the masts off. I actually had the masts painted a long time ago, I just didn't glue them in. The blob of paint badly covers the hole.
|
|
Galleys
Byzantine dromons. These are all NavWar 1/1200 models, but the casting quality is really spotty.
|
|
Bearers
These are Dixon bearers. I was too cheap to buy the Foundry ones...
|
|
Galleys
Another downside of having these on my desk for some years is that I no longer have any idea which models these are supposed to be.
|
|
Bearer
An attempt at 3-color painting. Not a very good one, I might add.
|
|
Bearers
The packages were also done in 3-color style, and in my opinion came out somewhat better.
|
|
Bearers
In fact, I drybrushed the skin on the rest of the fellows.
|
|
Pond
It's a giant hole in the ground!
|
|
Foundry paints
This is the contents of the starter set I bought with Kevin's book.

|
Samurai
Hmmm... flash ruined the pic.
