Here we are again

 The move to Italy is (mostly) done and, even if I was not planning to paint any more figures for others, I failed and the first model I painted at all was for someone else.

My old time friend Gian (AKA Lord Gian), needed a model for a demo game at a convention, his regular painter is momentarily unavailable, so it was on me to paint it.

Considering most of my modelling supplies are still en route from Canada, I had to do with what I had available, so the result is not that great, but it worked well for the game (last weekend), so I consider it a success.





This is one of the original C.A.V. range from Reaper (I think) that Lord Gian used for Battletech as a super heavy 200 tons monster.
The torso is a solid chunk of resin and the limbs and weapons are metal.
I opted for a very basic military green scheme with a couple of decals to make it a little less boring.

The last miniatures for Dave

These are the last models I had to paint for Dave, a little bit of a mix of stuff, but I'll make a single post with everything together.

First we have a selection of Silver Bayonet figures. I told Dave long ago that I would never paint Napoleonics, but I guess these don't really count, so I agreed to paint a couple of bands and few monsters for him.

He wanted these to be nice, so I went with full highlights on them.

French expedition to Egypt. 28mm, North Star, full highlights



Serpopard. 28mm, North Star, full highlights



Werejackals. 28mm, North Star, full highlights


Next up we have the Warlord Games special figure for their Hail Caesar Samurai new(ish) book.

And lastly, I painted a few Warhammer Man'o'War Dark Elf ships for him as a goodbye present.

The last models for Dennis' US WWII project

 These are the last models I finished for Dennis before moving. 

The pictures are not the best, but that's all I could manage in the beautiful Canadian summer.

More US WWII armour units

 This week we have more US armour from WWII, these are mostly Battlefront models (resin and plastic), with a few (priests and one half track) which are kind of low quality resin models from some unknown manufacturer.


This is the third batch of US armour I painted for Dennis, there will be at least another couple in the near future.
