You can’t stop the parti

In the three weeks since my last WIP Wednesday there has been serious hobby progress on the Partiboys.

WIP Wednesday – Partiboys and US Airborne

Warlord Games plastic M18 Hellcat

During the Thanksgiving weekend I assembled a pair of the new plastic M18 Hellcat kits produced by Italeri for Warlord Games.  I had already completed and reviewed a pair of the fantastic resin Trenchworx Hellcat kits, and I wanted to write up a comparison of the plastic versus the resin kits for anyone deciding on… Read More Warlord Games plastic M18 Hellcat

WIP Wednesday – Death Korps and Assassins

Unfortunately I have been pretty busy so I knew that I needed to really manage my time to get much done this month. I kept focused on two projects – continuing to get my DKK up in to shape, and painting a single Culexus Assassin.

After many years of halfheartedly displaying my miniatures on dusty bookshelves, I decided to go all in and acquire a proper display case.
