Craters

What it says on the tin, craters.

Will work as 105mm and up ones in 6mm and mortar sized ones in 20mm. Round 30mm base.

6mm lives!

Mymy, a year has passed so quickly. Better get cracking then on the rest.

All Heroics and Ross 6mm. Big bases are 40x20mm, small base is 20x20mm. B&G on the Supply truck is "Benzin und Gasoline" which I nicked off a 1939 Blitz photograph and is perfect for a resupply vehicle, albeit a fuel one.

Death on a small scale

Death on a small scale.

I managed to find some strength and painted this last night, mostly with washes. It is a Heroics and Ross Panzer IVD hull mated to a later model turret, with schurzen made from plasticcard. I copied the wreck from online photographs, as I do all the time.

For my Battlegroup forces this will be a casualty marker or a objective marker, whatever is needed more and, more importantly, looks better.

1 euro cent shown for size.

I might need to add another coat of matte, I don't think this one was mixed properly.

Status update, or why I've been away for 3 months.

I'm not dead. But I am in the middle (I hope) of what is my 2nd depression in so many years.

Depression sucks. It really saps the life out of you. Not having a job atm isn't helping. There is not much you can do about it other then relaxing and talking about it.

Which I'm not going to do on this Blog. I made this solely for gaming and not for ventilating my psyche. But I felt some of you might want to know what is wrong, what is still wrong tbh, and why I haven't posted in a while.

Have I done any gaming? None this year, I've even stopped visiting fora and such. I just don't care.

Have I done nothing gaming related? Well, I did. I've had some brighter moments, I've visited a local (30 mins drive) club to see if there would be anything for me and a mate there (and yes, there is) so thats noted for the future. And I've been doing quite a bit of work for Shipwreck, a fast paced Cold War naval rulesset. I've written up about 30 freighters and tankers of various plumage and just started out doing the entire Dutch navy, halfway now.

I'm really happy with that last part, it feels a bit like work and I can maintain my computer skills by doing all of the research and noting down data in Powerpoint sheets (which are then printed out so each ship has their own stat card). I made a ton of missile counters as well, so as soon as my mood is a bit less cloudy again I'll grab the bits and start doing a few scenarios and posting the results here. But don't get your hopes up too soon about seeing painted models on the table and fancy pictures. Cause I have not felt like painting anything at all this year, and that includes the new kitchen.

But thats no biggie, the paint ain't going anywhere and printed counters are just as good of a substitute....even easier to pack and store.

Happier days are around the corner, I just need a bit of time.
