My ongoing wargames projects!
This is another catch-up post while I m busy working through Season of Scenery bits and pieces. No World Cup to watch now while I m typing so it doesn t take as long to do! It s just over two years (yikes!) since I did an update on my Second Afghan War project and even that was just [ ]
Since it s now August, the first month of the 2026 Season of Scenery community painting challenge is now over. Despite a lack of posts here though, I ve been fairly busy during July and got a few buildings finished. I ve been tending to work on bits and pieces in parallel and so July s models were all [ ]
Still trying to catch up with some stuff that s been painted for a while! I m taking advantage of the fact that it s World Cup final night so I m typing this while watching Spain beat Argentina beat Spain! Having painted up some Martian flyers I thought it was about time my Earth forces got some conventional [ ]
In the run up to the Season of Scenery painting challenge I ve been finishing off a few bits and pieces, but have got a bit behind with blog posts. So I m trying to catch up a bit tonight while I m watching Norway beat England beat Norway in the World Cup quarter final! Back in February [ ]
That s probably not a blog post title that you see often! Since this post covers all of the steampunk bits I ve created for this army it s quite lengthy (but plenty of pics)! When I started my 20mm scale steampunk/Victorian Science Fiction armies, based around my existing historical armies, a Vietnamese VSF army was not one [ ]
In recent years I ve been gradually adding generals and HQs to my Boxer Rebellion and colonial forces. I ve done most of them and decided it was about time I got a Vietnamese general to lead his forces against French colonialism in the 1870s and 1880s. Although I couldn t get a 20mm figure of a Vietnamese [ ]
Having made reasonable progress with my 20mm steampunk/Victorian Science Fiction forces recently I thought it was maybe time to start working on some heavy support units. So far I ve worked on a mix of generic and nation-specific units, but for the heavier units I want equipment that will be specific to individual armies. When I [ ]
Over the last couple of years March for me has been Maritime March where I catch up on painting model ships. But, sadly, not this year! This year March has seen me continuing with steampunk/Victorian Science Fiction models. My plan is to add steampunk/VSF elements to some (if not many, or even most) of my [ ]
Still on with steampunk/Victorian Science Fiction stuff, although this time it s fire support for my troops rather than automatons. Shown above is a Prussian Army 15cm multiple rocket launcher, attached to a limber and towed by a horse team. The only new model in the picture is the rocket launcher, the limber and crew being [ ]
Continuing on the theme from my last two posts, it s time for more steampunk/Victorian Science Fiction automaton units, but this time from Europe. Shown above is a Prussian Army automaton unit, consisting of three automatons and their controller. The automatons are Ironclad Miniatures 28mm VSF figures that I ve had lying around for ages, but with [ ]
