Finish it! - 2nd Stargrave Pirate finished

 Started: September 2023 for the painting, unknown when I built it.

Another one down thx to the impetus from Scrapjacks.

Stargrave Soldier body, grenades and flashlight on the helmet are from Space Marines or Guard. Drilled out the face and put in a Necron lower chin. Oxygen backpack is a Adeptus Mechanicus piece, shoulder guard is a old Chaos Warrior something part? The rest is stock Stargrave. Decals: Star is from 1-94, Screaming Eagle from Warlord and the marking on the front of the redcap is a fuel filler marking from a German aircraft kit. 

Background is that these are Pirates from The Numberd, they all carry a yellow shoulderpad with a number on it and they only refer to themselves as a number. Unknown is how many there are, and if it is just a ruse to appear more powerful. And the why, who knows....dead men don't talk. 








And together with his buddy, finished in 2021.

LAF BSC 2026 "Wheel" - Let's get it on!

 First thing to build is the wheel. I've looked at scratchbuilding the wheen, 3D printing it and what not. , then took a step back and looked at how others did it. 



The humble beginnings. A roll of pretty useless sticky tape with the right width, a wooden rod for the center and a thicker bit of balsa for the support. I'll use coffee stirrers for the outside and inside planks, glue those in place, sand the sides and then work on the sides of the wheel. 

Well, that is the plan anyway.

Finish it! - TT Combat OTS026 Wild West Warehouse finished!

 Started: October 2024

 And it is done.  Yes, I could do a ton more, but I won't. She is done and can go with the rest of my scenery and live on a shelf. Again, a shame this is OOP, but there are more MDF fish in the sea. 

Enjoy!

Finish it! - WIP TT Combat Warehouse

 Date started: October 2024

Original topic: Warehouse for STALKER

 

 Right, I need the space for a Groupbuild so this one has to be finished by the end of the weekend tops. Need to finish the glazing today so it all can dry overnight, then final detailing on Saturday, Sunday at the latest.

Finish it! - Big Fat Silo x2 by recycling a Faller H0 kit

 Date started: somewhere early 2025 I think.

Built, based and that was it. Primed these last week and did most of the paint job at our hobby nights. 

Kept it basic and generic so it works for multiple periods and scales.


With 15mm (though the drone is technically also used for 15 and 28mm), stairs to the front.

With 28mm with the marking. Though to be honest, the slim stairs side will also work for it, God knows I've had to scale some for work that only had space for one steel toeed boot at a time. 

In case you are wondering about getting these for yourself......don't!

This is a H0 kit from Faller, 130474 of which I bought a box of 8 or 10 at a tenner each years ago. Well, inflation hit hard cause these up in price by 500%. 

Then again the kit has a ton of parts for scratchbuilding, so....

Finish it! -15/28mm Sci-Fi Cargo made from toy car wheels

 Date started: Around September 2024 I think.

Built, based and partialled painted and then dumped in a box after a cleaning run. These are 4 wheels I ripped off of small car toy cause they are a nice hard plastic and look container-y.

Now finished. May many more follow. Incidentally this also another 50 Cent Challenge finished!


Compared with 15mm

Compared to 28mm


Finish it! - start of a series?

 


I keep finding semi finished stuff, so decided to put in a box whenever I find it. And I just sat down to actually start finishing them, most of them have languished long enough.
