Ukrainian BMP-2 2022

 







This model was started a very long time ago but I didn’t get very far with it. This is the old Dragon/DML kit. I bought just after it came out, I that tells you anything.

Here is one of the "and Friends" from the Bones 4 Core, Sophie and Friends subset. She is now known as Bryn, Half Elf Rogue, sculpted by Gene Van Horne and is now available as SKU: 77753. I drew inspiration from Yennifer's Witcher 3 costume. The stairs is just made of cut layers of cork.

 

 
This is Mavaro, Iconic Occultist sculpted by Bobby Jackson from the Bone 4 Core Pathfinder Iconics II subset. This is now available on the Reaper store as SKU: 89051. He reminds me of a bard who went for oration as his talent.

The Devil's in the Details

 




I was in a real painting slump. It had been several months with no motivation. A few weeks back a friend asked me to paint up a couple of player characters for our DnD campaign. It took me a while to complete them. In the end it was a change in mindset. I took the approach that they didn't need to be perfect. I was painting for gaming not for show and that enabled me to complete both in a day after dragging my feet for a week. Like wise I grabbed this set out of the Reaper Bones 4 Core set with the goal of just painting and having fun. It was a good exercise on both occasions.

Oh Oh Oh It's Magic...





I started working on the wizards from the Bone 4 core set. I was originally running through the usual themes - brown, grey, red etc. but this colour scheme on a different figure really caught my eye and I thought it would work on this figure. I didn't realize he was supposed to be an evil wizard until I looked it up on line (sku 03847 by Bobby Jackson btw). But hey evil wizards can like bright colours too, right?



Here is one of the wizards from the Greybeards subset of the Bones 4 core set. I like this figure because even though the design is relatively simple, you get a real sense of character.


Here is another wizard from the Greybeards subset of the Bones 4 Core set. I love the character in these wizard figures. This one is strongly reminiscent of Gandalf. Though I resisted the temptation to go grey I did sneak Gandalf's rune onto the medallion on the back of his hat
