I really dont like GW's Black Numenorians so I converted some instead.

Picked up a set of these today, something I can mess around with and have a bit of a practice on etc. Will post up anything decent over the weekend.

Went with Dark Angels because I've got the odd guy or two already and because they have robes. Robes are cool.

Technically - technically - it's illegal to take sand from a beach in the UK.

 

 

 

You bad boy, you.

Well, I didn't go to the beach in the end because I need quite a bit and I didn't really think it was fair me doing that, so just got some from the builders merchants.

Just started painting a model of death from Discworld for my dad for Christmas.

For the D-day diorama, I'm split between making my own base out of polystyrene etc or buying this for the base and using the coastal defence fort for the top.

[AirsoftTed]

Reviving this thread-

 

Does anyone play any of the WW2 war games?

 

Which brands do you prefer for WW2 models?

 

Scales?

 

If i were to give a proper go of this, could someone with some experience point me in the direction of necessary starter kit? ( I have brushes and some crap paints, sprue cutters and stanley knives, something like a "Paint pack" which has a lot of generic colours i.e German infantry colours or something like that?)

[JamesAirsofterAgent]

I used to just go with airfix but Tamiya are a great make!

I didn't know there were "ww2 games"??????

Scale has always been either 1:72 or 1:78. However i want to try a 1:13 world war 1 trench section at some point or a 1:13 Japanese spider hole.

The kit stuff, I have no idea about. Some make up stuff from boots is great for the more "intricate" stuff aswell as different sizes of craft knifes.

Anyway, for my ww1 diorama I have the sand. To make the sand into the terrain:

(Before hand:

1. Make sure layers of newspaper are on the polystyrene to strengthen it.)

1.Put sand and glue and paint in a bbiiigggg bucket.

2. Mix everything while adding small amounts of water.

3. Use a tingy that you use when your cooking. The one that you use to scrape bowls out when you've finished making a cake lol.

4.Using ^ that! layer on the mixture where needed.

5. Bobs yer uncle

 

Any criticism is welcomed!

[Lozart]

Hasegawa and trumpeter for accurate ww1 and ww2 kits. Tamiya are better than airfix but so are Heller/humbrol. None are as good as hasegawa or trumpeter though.

[AirsoftTed]

Bolt Action & Flames of war to name the two I'm familiar with I just don't like their models, so I'm going to buy a bolt action rule book and use minatures of my own choice!

 

 

Thanks Lozart, might have to treat myself to a Tiger!
