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).

Saturday Update 30 June

I've been quite busy today. The airbrush has seen a lot of action and I've done a few other things.



The Eureka figures got primed (well, eleven of them did); the figure that had lost the tip of it's Owen gun had a new barrel tip created using 0.5mm piano wore and green stuff (the picture above shows it before shaping of the cured putty); the Patrol markers and basic jump off points were airbrushed green and had Aussie flags added (and were later sprayed with matt varnish). I also airbrushed a Chain of Command dashboard (from Warbases) with the same green.



I also airbrushed some casualty counters (for recording "shock"), some "pinned down" tokens and some "broken" tokens (all from Warbases).

Work on the Owen gun:

Wire inserted, green stuff added

Green stuff shaped

I've stuck him on a base and will prime the figure tomorrow.


I've also done a bit of work on the non-basic jump off points:


I need to add a few more bits before priming and painting them.

    Brave girl, modifying a broken gun! I am never happy getting that perfect alignment!

    good job on the gun, makes me more inclined to have a go at repairing some of my 'wounded' troops.

    @ Herkybird - by brave, I take it you mean stark raving bonkers? ;)

    @ Norm - cheers! You just have to be very careful with drilling the hole for the piano wire to go into :)

    @ Michael A - thanks! :)

    @ Ross - cheers! :)

    @ Lead-Lined - yup, CoC seems much better than Bolt Action, plus people at the club play it :)
