Nuka Cola Mini Fridge

I'm still around, but I took about a year off from the hobby. I have some projects on the way, including a 4x4 board for Shadow Wars: Armageddon. in the meantime check out the Fallout inspired mini fridge I put together. It cost me less than $100 USD.

The rust effect was done using the Salt and Hairspray technique that is frequently used to weather miniatures. Overall I'm pretty happy with this. It was a good learning experience and a nice break from tiny terrain.

Some people call me the space cowboy

I painted this guy up as part of my post apoc game. He is a reaper sculpt that I picked up on a whim. I had high hopes for  him but he turned out pretty average. That is my fault not the mini's lol. I also finished the base on my little robot from Hasslefree.

I based them with Citadels Agrellan Earth. It's a neat little product and I like the simple effect it gives.

Modern/ Post Apoc 7

I wanted to put up my Preserver test model for This is Not a Test. I kept the paint scheme grounded in reality as I may use these guys in modern games in the future. So far only one is done (minus the base!) and I'm very impressed with the quality. I served as an Infantryman in the U.S. Army for nearly ten years and I can tell you these minis are as accurate as you are going to find at this scale.

Here is my test mini.

I have the other 12 on my desk now. I'm probably going to batch paint them as they are similar enough not to warrant individual attention. Hopefully I can maintain the same level of quality as the test mini. I have enough minis that I think I can add some science fiction flare to some of the more exotic guns (maybe a blue energy weapon glow?) without making them unsuitable for modern games.

Post Apoc Minis 6

Alright, I finally finished off my Raiders and painted up a robot for my post apoc game. I'm pretty proud of the robot.

First up the completed Raiders.

Next my Hasslefree robot. Please excuse my photogenic fingers. I also haven't done the base yet.

Finally, I stopped by my FLGS and accidentally bought some old school style robots and a power armor wearing cowboy for my Preserver warband (all from Reaper).

I'm excited to paint up the power armored guy but he will have to wait until I really get into my Preservers.

Post Apoc Minis 5

I've finished a number of minis this week. First up are a couple of raiders.

This is the Raider band so far. I have 4 more to go.

Next I finally finished my remaining peacekeepers.

And finally here is a couple of shots of the finished band.

Let me know what you think!

Post Apoc Minis 4 and New Hasslefree Minis!

Yesterday my order from Hasslefree arrived. it included 12 modern troops, a robot, and two fantasy minis that will be added to my Frostgrave band eventually. I also completed a few more of my Ratnik minis. Check it out below!

Post Apoc Minis 3

I finished more of my post apoc guys from Lead Adventure. 8 down, 13 to go!

Post Apoc Minis 2

Post apocalyptic minis!

My Ratnik miniatures from Lead Adventure arrived yesterday. I recieved them from Germany in less than 7 days and I got a bonus mini!

Anyway here is the batch unprimed

Primed and showing the bases made from various vehicle kit bits.

And here are my two test models painted in a tan scheme and a green woodland scheme. 

I really like these minis. These two are nearly identical but the remainder are very varied. What are your thoughts?
