28mm Painted Victorian Sci-Fi Tanks and Armoured Cars, adding to the Great Painters collection and.......

.....pimping Edwin!

Some nice pieces of resin and metal from Ironclad Miniatures for the Victorian (Steampunk and Pulp also) warfare shenanigans, two different forces............

28mm Copplestone figure for scale purposes........

Curt "Norse God" Campbell over at Analogue Hobbies has painted me a little piece of wargaming joy for my collection for something I did for him a while back and I've got to say it's cracking!

.........and Edwin over at Thoughts of a Depressive Diplomatist is having a competition and giving away books (which he also sells) but no picking the book on the Khyber Rifles as that's going to be mine!

28mm Victorian Sci-Fi German Marine Light Steam Tanks, Twinkies and Assholes!

We have a pair 28mm (light) Steam Tanks for the German Marines from the previous post, these mainly resin little fellas are from Ironclad Miniatures, they are lovely pieces but quite small and would merit only a two man crew (possibly lying down).

I have included a 28mm Copplestone figure to show scale and they were quite cheap for a resin tank.....

Melanie is having a blog whoring competition giveaway over at her blog "No,Really, You Can Eat It!" where you could win Twinkies and other edible delights from the USA, I've never had a Twinkie or even a Ding Dong or a Bear Claw!!!!!.......I feel my life is not complete !

Also a picture that made me giggle and reminded me of Ray!

28mm Painted Victorian Sci-Fi German Marines from........

.........Copplestone Castings.

A small contingent of Germany's finest to stake their claim in the region of Angria but mainly to annoy the British forces in the region!

May add some auxiliaries.......

My 28mm Victorian Sci-Fi British Naval Crew from.......

............Copplestone Castings!

My small British detachment for some Victorian Sci-Fi gaming (if that ever happens), 10 ratings, 4 officers, 2 pilots and an Ambassador when I find the figure I like, these were painted pre-unemployment, lovely stuff from Copplestone as usual.

Maybe some loyal native troops.......

With this they can be in any part of the country in hours....well maybe days!

28mm Victorian Sci-Fi Female Trench Raiders from Hinterland Miniatures ......

......and Magenta is the new red!

A unit of trench raiders for the forces of Angria, the elite of the elite, the hardest hitting and fighting unit in the region, the magenta piping is the unique colour and calling card of the female only forces.

Delicate but nice miniatures that deserved a better paint job but they'll do!

28mm VSF Painted Female Sailor Unit from Hinterland Miniatures.....

.......or the 1st Angrian Royal Marines.

These ladies hail from Hinterland Miniatures and the VSF homeland of Angria, delicate miniatures that deserved more but I wargame (well try to) and paint for that purpose, these ladies go with the armoured land train previously shown and they will have more armour, their elite trench raiders, a pom pom artillery piece (once I retouch it after dropping it along with a platoon of modern Russian infantry that were on the same tray). There will be a Queen and some other royalty to finish it off and we're done.........

I just wanted them painted in a more drab uniform than the white of the navy I had seen on other hinterland sailors.............with a little hint of magenta. Did I say Angria is a Matriachy!

I received an email from Jason of Hinterland Miniatures to say there were some new releases added to the range and can be seen here.

28mm figure from the DAK and Copplestone Castings to show some size and scale.......

.....these miniatures were painted quite a while ago!

28mm Painted Victorian Sci-Fi Warlord's Army from......

.....Copplestone and Ironclad Miniatures.

The Warlords force expands for the upcoming invasion with his infantry and officer cadre, all the figures but one (eye-patch officer in front row is from Ironclad and head of the secret police) are from Copplestone, there will be some heavy equipment and armour to follow, the flag was found on the internet.

On the personal front, still unemployed, still not painting but I am farting about with bits and pieces........have a good day out there people if you can?
