The best little wargaming convention on the East Coast is in JUST TWO DAYS.  Come to two days of non-stop gaming fun at Barrage.  See http://www.hawks-barrage.org for more details.

I purchased a number of Pulp Figures packs at Historicon, and I finally got around to painting them.  My unpaired lead collection is getting dangerously low.  I like these figures.  They have the stereotypical Bob Murch style and animation, which I love.  My only complaint is that there aren’t enough poses to make a nice unit for skirmish gaming.

I also purchased a pack of the masked avengers figures.  It turns out that I already had this set, but I painted it anyway, this time in different colors than the first set.

I have been slowly painting the Star Wars buildings I got from Imperial Terrain.  My daughter painted the first one (see previous post).  I knocked this one out this weekend.

These are staged with Matchbox scout troopers on speeder bikes.  These can be found on Ebay for a couple of dollars, while the Collectable Miniatures figures are $10 or more — if you can even find them.

Finally, I knocked out these Crooked Dice female cultists that I picked up some time ago.

Recently I posed a picture of a building from Imperial Terrain that my daughter painted.  Here is one that I painted this weekend.  This is the desert farm building.  The cylindrical structure is many to be a communications array of some sort.

In the previous post I showed how we masked a bunch of the building, sprayed it with fleckstone paint, removed the tape, and primed it brown.  The doors on this building come out so that they can be opened or closed.  They slide in and out very easily.

In previous posts I showed pictures of the clockwork, unicycle cavalry from this line of figures by Joe Corsaro.  I also showed the rocket battery.  This weekend I completed the 20 infantry and the command group for this female legion.

Joe recently made available the “official” flags, so you can see the standard bearer holding one.

These figures took quite a while.  Lots of colors and lots of details.

I painted them in sort of British Napoleonic uniforms, with red blouses and gray skirts.  I’m not sure why I painted the helmets black, but the seem to fit with the overall color scheme.
