Life is short, break the rules. Forgive quickly, kiss slowly. Love truly, laugh uncontrollably and never regret anything that makes you smile. - Samuel Longhorne Clemens (Mark Twain)

Diorama - Painting the Minis IV

I made reasonable progress over the last week on the minis for the "Steady Lads" diorama for ReaperCon. The soldiers are just about finished, just the gaiters and touch ups at this point. I have changed my mind several times on the Aliens so they are only about half way done, but they aren't as complicated as the soldiers so I hope to wrap them up quickly and move on to getting the base finished.

The office. Still need to work on the pants, sword and helmet.


The Private. Pants, gaiters and touch ups


The Sergeant. Pants, gaiters and touch ups


Alien Leader. Needs lining and the whole jumpsuit needs to be gone over again.


Alien Gunner. About the same as the leader. The gun needs some more work as well

Calamity Gets a New RR Station - Part 8

I was able to work in another work session on the Calamity RR station. I scrubbed the exterior walls to peel the paint and started mounting up windows and placing the interior frames. I also modified the exterior doors and the door frames. I seem to have misplaced the freight door so I may have to scratch build one to fit. The freight door is the only frame that I didn't get into place tonight. I have a lot of interior touchup to do and I was not careful enough with my paintwork and managed to stain some of my interior wallpaper, not quite sure how I'm going to deal with that right now. I'm sure I'll come up with something though.

Here are the pictures from tonight's work
The window frame finally in place. I see I'm going to have to do some exterior touch up as well.

The interior frame, definitely needs some extra work before assembly

Windows in place





A modified door in place. I'll need to go back and re-paint the door.

Finished walls stacked up. Maybe I can finally start putting stuff together. Still need to think about how to do the roof though.
