About Me

A mythical beast - a female wargamer! I got back into wargaming in the summer of 2011 after a very, very long break and haven't looked back since. I must admit that I seem to be more of a painter/collector than a gamer, but do hope to correct that at some point in the near future. My gaming interests span the ages, from the "Biblical" era all the way through to the far future. I enjoy games of all sizes, from a handful of figures up to major battles (see my megalomaniacally sized Choson Korean and Russian Seven Years War armies).

Paint Table Saturday #30 (Late); Finished Residence

Before cracking on with this post, just a quick plug for something rather important - the Bloggers For Charity auction is open. This is your opportunity to acquire some beautifully painted figures for French Indian War games whilst helping to raise money for some very good causes.




OK, Paint Table Sunday. I'd already done the shinies post yesterday and didn't want to do a second post so put it off until today. It also gave me the chance to get a bit of work done to show you.

Well, the gangsters are coming along nicely. I should only need a couple of evenings to finish them. Then the second (for gaming) batch of "Named Gangsters" will hit the paint table.





I'm trying to decide what colour to paint the violin case


Sarissa City Block Residence - Finished

It's taken a lot longer to finish this one than I'd have liked, partly because I kept dipping in and out of doing bits, but mainly due to the fiddliness.








I've definitely learnt a few lessons painting these first three Sarissa buildings. The most important lesson is to get the pieces painted (mostly with spray paints) before assembly.

  7. Great looking buildings there Tamsin and I do like the different coloured interiors. Yes I know what you mean about painting the parts first, especially for the interiors but I still have the habit of building and then panting. Lovely work on the Gangsters too

  9. Dear Tamsin,
    Violin cases were usually black or dark brown. Your work is superior - love the city elements you've put together.
