I was wary of picking up this kit. Historically, resin and metal model kits are, as a rule, a huge pain. There can be warping, miscast components, required drilling, pinning and removal of release agent. All hassles that you don’t have to deal with when building a plastic kit. Luckily, the Warlord Games Autoblinda AB41 had… Read More Warlord Games Autoblinda AB41
I have always been frustrated with how my miniatures look in one environment to the next.

Warlord Games heads into new territory with their latest Bolt Action supplement, Campaign: Sea Lion.

Andrew and I got in on the most recent Kickstarter by Trenchworx, “Tanks on the Western Front“. Andrew ordered a Jagdtiger, Jagdpanther and a Marder III, which he’ll review when he gets them assembled. I had the pleasure of putting together the pair of M18 Hellcats I had ordered and I’ve got to say, these… Read More Trenchworx M18 Hellcat
I have finished up a batch of Customeeple buildings for an Infinity terrain commission. These buildings are all MDF and acrylic kits that capture the sci-fi style of Infinity well. There are a lot of flat surfaces and hard edges that lend themselves to extreme edge highlighting. I would not normally go this hard on the edge… Read More Customeeple Infinity terrain
