Lowlands Terrain Small Storage Warehouse Finished

Happy with the way it looks so calling it a day. Can go straight into my Stalker collection as well as my Post Apoc when it doubles as storage for the Red Star Brewery. Nice kit to work on, I can reccomend it for super generic storage, and this will look fine when painted up as new too, or modern with graffiti on the sides etc. 

Only addition made is the card covering the MDF roof and the red star, otherwise stock.

Getting there. Still a lot to do. 

 

 

AK-47 Militia Build - The Miltia 120mm mortar painted, now just needs crew

 God knows where they dug up this old fossil....

Battlefronts 15mm scaled 120mm that they sell for the Germans, Russians, Egyptians, Iraqi's, Bietnamese, etc....so this might be a bit hefty for the Militia but it just says Mortar, so something with a little more Oomph is nice. That and I have loads of these in my spares bin.

Picked this and 2 other kits up from a local creator (10 min drive to pick these up) and this is the smallest of the 3. 

 

Nice TT Combat like feel to the MDF, nice lift off roof and comes with 1 crate, 4 solar panels and 2 AC units as well. The light lasering on the floor and door is nice to keep intact while painting. Made for 28mm but if I am honest as always, make a fake door in the side and you have a nice large warehouse for 15mm as well. Or a hanger for a stubby aircraft? Need to paint it now.

 

They tossed in a free 0-10 counter thingy as well in MDF, for which I don't have a need but it was fun to paint up 

AK-47 Militia Build - Dir, the 1st T-34 Rebel Tank PIP

 No kids for Christmas, and meds making sure I'm not hungry I just spent the day sorting stuff, cleaning and grabbing the occasional small snack, no Xmas dinner this year, or tomorrow. Well, there was but that is now in the freezer.

And then I took an hour or so for myself this evening to grab some washes to paint Dir, the 1st T-34 tank for the Militia (Rebel) Build. I did not get as far as on Rumh, but that is ok as I need to do some more prep work and putty pushin on the third anyway and what work remains (white markings and barrel, crew,tracks etc) can be done when I paint that. At my current rate that will be somewhere next year I think.

Dir (درع) means Shield in Arabic. The crew are....for lack of a better word, "conscripted volunteers"

The 2nd T-34 (and third tank for this unit) will be īmān (إيمان) which means Faith.

So Spear, Shield and Faith. Tank is a Battlefront T-34 that I got in a joblot. I hope that explains why this and the other T-34 have their commanders cuppola glued on the loaders side. For a fantasy like this it is perfectly fine....

...Crap, now I feel I should equip some of the spear guys with a shield......dammit. Oh well, still more than 20 days left I suppose....

Blotz B28-WW2-102 and -104 Built. Well, mostly.

 The 28mm Hospital Hut and 4x Barracks Hut I received last week are now 90% built. Roofs have been strengthend and fitted with pressed roof plates. I added a internal wall and a rail for the Hospital Hut to better fit in with my plans. I'm still looking for suitable supports to lift them 5mm or something thereabouts, and I need to glue in all of the window sills. Now that all the top work is done I can get started with those, but the fit for them is extremely tight so it is quite a chore. After that primer, but for now they are going back into the box as these will get painted in one go. Well, the 4 barracks anyway, the hospital can be painted seperately as it needs more work and doesn't perse need the same exterior color as the rest. 

 I picked up some new MDF from a local seller that has priority now as I want to get those done asap to make promopics for them as I found them very pleasant to contact. And it helps they live a 10 min drive from here. Their models have a certain TT Combat flair about them that I like, but without the card bits. And all of that will be used for Stalker/Post Apoc as well. 

 

 Oh, and the Hospital Hut needs a new door. 

AK-47 Militia Build - Rumh, the Su-100 Rebel Tank PIP

 I don't have a lot of time today so focussed purely on getting the tank as far as my enevrgy could take it. It needs markings (which need to be weathered) and I need to write the name on the barrel. Then do the trackwork and some parts of the base. Final detailing after the basing.

 

Rumh (رمح) is Arabic for Pike (the weapon, not the fish). Backstory is that the Militia "found" this and other T-34 based tanks in a outdoor long term storage base in some backwater on the coastline. She's not pretty, but she runs (for now) and the gun works.
