<br />
Since my last post over 2 years ago, I've finally got around to getting my Blogger account back under my control and to pick up the brushes.<br />
<br />
It's been a crazy few years, by far the most eventful in my life. From joining the army to losing my mother, to moving to the other side of this giant country, my life style is very different than the one I lived when posting here.<br />
<br />
I'll be honest, I haven't touched the brushes much or painted in the last few years, but I have kept my collection, and just recently bought some more models. I had to very hastily move my collection across the country and unfortunately break a lot of my models in the process.<br />
<br />
I'm still settling in on this side of the country, and have recently changed to using acrylic paints since I had to throw my enormous enamel paint collection when leaving the east.<br />
<br />
Not making any promises, but I will try to start updating this blog again, from models to firearms, along with old war memorabilia I've accumulated over these years.<br />
<br />
Thank you for your patience, whoever is still reading this!<br />

<br />
Here are the creme of Alexander's army, the elite infantry. I had fun trying out different colours on these guys, but I do not want to go as far as the osprey books did, and have them <a href="http://pxhst.co/avaxhome/f0/c3/000ec3f0_medium.jpeg" target="_blank">look like rainbows</a>.<br />

I really like how this guy's helmet turned out, it is exactly how I wanted it. Unfortunately I could not replicate it on the other ones since the wash was too dark. <br />

Very nice poses and good detail, thinking about picking up another box along with the <a href="http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/Review.aspx?id=1891" target="_blank">Orion one</a>. Shame there are no armored figures to use as chieftains, seems like I will have to make some myself! <br />

April has been the month for Punic Wars for me, and these were a must have. I painted their skin a little too dark, but the next ones will be done with an even lighter tone (seems like the historians are still debating their skin colour).<br />
<br />
On this first batch I decided to play it safe, and not get too creative with them, and have made much more interesting ones since (coming later!). I like the speed at which they can be painted, and the figures are up to Zvezda's incredible standard. Just spend some time trimming away at the extra plastic found under their arms and such.<br />

<br />
It's Easter, and what an appropriate time to post Romans.<br />
<br />
These are some of the guys from the new Strelets boxes, the <a href="http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/Review.aspx?id=1998" target="_blank">Imperial </a>and<a href="http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/Review.aspx?id=1999" target="_blank"> Repulican</a> <a href="http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/Review.aspx?id=1498" target="_blank">Marching</a> and<a href="http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/Review.aspx?id=2336" target="_blank"> Ranks</a> sets.<br />
<br />
I decided to test out my converting skills, since I want to start sculpting full figures of my own, and made some into Centurions and Signifers, since the set lacked them.<br />
<br />
They are very well done figures, just needing a lot of care to remove the flash and extra plastic, but they are well worth it, especially at the price they charge.<br />
<br />
Starting off with the two Republicans. I simply used bodies from the Republican Ranks set, shaved the helmets down a bit, and made the crests of Greenstuff. I shaved the pilum into a stick.<br />

Good Sunday evening!<br />
<br />
I finally got back to taking pictures, now that my phone situation has been surpassed. I am now trying out things with fixing the photos I take by using the edit feature in Google Photos (just fixing the colours, not photo shopping the imperfections!).<br />
<br />
Here is one of the <a href="http://wargamingbeginer.blogspot.ca/2016/01/new-year-new-sets-new-ventures.html" target="_blank">sets I got from my brother</a> a few months back. I actually had problems with one of the sprues where a horse was incomplete and a rider had a less detailed face, but after contacting Hat they sent me an entire sprue to replace that figure. Thanks Hat!<br />
<br />
Since last posting, I have decided to no longer pursue my wide mild-fantasy direction with my figures, and instead using them as, "<i>light history</i>" as one may call it. Instead of having one big <i><b>Game of Thrones </b></i>type world with Romans, Greeks, Samurai, Mongols, Conquistadors and late Medieval Knights all struggle in the same timeline, I will break them up into their appropriate times (ex. Samurai vs. Samurai; Mongols vs. Arabs, Chinese, Europeans; Greeks vs. Persian; Romans vs. Celts, Carthaginians, Germans, anyone who isn't Roman).<br />
<br />
Anyways, <a href="http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/Review.aspx?id=2091" target="_blank">here are figures</a>. They could work as Huns, but I am using them as Mongols. They are quite large for steppe nomads, only being comparable to the<a href="http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/Review.aspx?id=1851" target="_blank"> Zvezda set</a> in scale (and even then they are bigger), but that can be passed off as them wearing extra layers of clothes ;).<br />

Now as can be seen, this guy has been modified a little. That is because I recently acquired some Greenstuff, which is excellent for adding little things to models, and is actually <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MQ7EHHC?keywords=greenstuff&qid=1458517073&ref_=sr_1_2&sr=8-2" target="_blank">quite cheap for the amount you get!</a> Highly recommended. <br />

<br />
Since my last non-post, I have found a way of transferring photos from my recently resetted phone through alternate means, thanks to internet transfer.<br />
<br />
So here is something I teased a while back. I actually got this ship as a birthday gift back in April, but only recently photographed it! It is not entirely finished (hence the WIP), but is very far progressed.<br />

And the figures were a surprise from my kind brother this Christmas. I have already knocked down quite a few, and am planning on buying the other imperial one I don't have, to really bolster my armies!<br />
<br />
One last note, I am experimenting with my new style of painting figures, only putting a dark wash on dark parts, and instead using shading on the other parts. The flesh is fulfilled through a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Vallejo-VJ73204-Flesh-Wash-17ml/dp/B004PY6NVW" target="_blank">Flesh Wash</a>, one of the best investments I've ever made!<br />

I am working on finding a better way to photograph figures, as I find my current overpowering white backdrop isn't letting their details and colors truly show. If anyone has any tips please share them.<br />
<br />
Thank you very much for reading, and have a good day!<br />

<br />
Good evening everyone!<br />
<br />
A while ago, my generous friends from Bavaria, Lilith and Michael, had offered me something completely unexpected and incredible. They offered me over 6 complete brand new sets (all ones I was desperately looking for) along with over a 100 or so little extra figures! It is not the first time either, since two years ago they sent me German gun crews for my heavy howitzer, along with other bonus figures and an Osprey book on the 8th Army! And never once did they ask anything in return.<br />
<br />
Now I've been going through quite stressful and trying times (but this is not a blog about this), and the surprise that these figures brought to me when I saw them in the mailbox brought me great joy. I can now officially say I have more figures than I can handle at the moment! Now, to stop buying them at every corner and repainting my obsolete ones!<br />
<br />
Overall, what I am trying to say is thank you, Lilith and Michael. This gift you have sent me is one of the nicest things anyone has done for me in my entire life.<br />
<br />
I thought the best way to show their worth to me is to show how much I have done with them since getting them!<br />

Once again great thank yous to both Michael and Lilith. My offers still stand!<br />
<br />

<br />
Have a great night,<br />

It can get a little tricky coming up with designs and patterns that work, which is why some of their colours are sub-par, but I always like a challenge!<br />
<br />
I have many more both painted and unpainted, somexpect to see more of these guys in the future.<br />
<br />
Have a good one!<br />

Here are my "Indian" elephants, though I will be using them as elephants enlisted within my Persian/Arab army. I gave them a mixture of Persian and Indian designs on their carpets.<br />
<br />
Hat (Coates & Shine?) really did a good job on these guys,with just a quick layer of grey, followed by a wash of dark brown and some dusting while dry and their ready to go. The blankets on them were perfect for putting some effort and trying some new things.<br />
<br />
Hat seem to have a little lottery going on at their factory, and every buy is a gamble. Sometimes you get less than advertised (such as the Russian tank riders I picked up a while ago), and sometimes you win, like how I got three elephants instead of two in this set. Thanks Hat!<br />

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed them, and as can be seen, they are definitely not done, seeing as only 3 of the 9 riders are ready to go. I am planning on getting another box of them, and adding a little tower to one of those new ones, giving me four ordinary elephants and a command one (unless Hat decides to give me another extra one!)<br />
<br />
I hope your week has been good, and that your weekend is fantastic!<br />
Have a good evening,<br />

<br />
Today I will be featuring one of the planes I built and painted about a year ago, yet just realized was not uploaded.<br />
<br />
It is not 100% accurate, and only my third plane, completely botching the first two. It will serve for wargaming though, as a bomber for my DAK and Italians.<br />
<br />
Excellent medium sized plane, and goes for very cheap (16$ in my country). Very nicely detailed and an excellent strong mold. Even comes with two little pilots, although they is definitely nothing noteworthy about their quality.<br />

This was more of an experiment which taught me a lot, and my first plane I didn't completely wreck.<br />
<br />
Thanks for viewing, and for those who like elephants, I might post my Hat Indian war elephants painted up to be Persian styled.<br />
<br />
Have a good evening, <br />

<br />
Once again these weren't painted for historical accuracy, just for
what I thought looked good. They will be in my Imperial Army, but will
be the only elephants in that faction, being captured or elephants whose
trainers defected etc. and will not be used en masse like my
Persian/Arab ones will be.<br />

Thanks for viewing, I might post some photos of my Roman Trireme next time I'm able to post, or maybe some colourful persians.<br />
<br />
Have a nice weekend!<br />

I wasn't going to buy it on my own, since my original plans were to use the Caesar era Romans as Marines/Medium Infantry and I already had the (coincidentally)<a href="http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/Review.aspx?id=1331" target="_blank"> Caesar Miniatures set</a>, but then I got this set from my generous brother for Christmas, and was very pleased I did. To be honest the poses with 15 duplicates are very easily modified, with a couple swaps of arms, swords, etc. the fact that there are 30 figures in only 2 poses is hardly even noticeable.<br />
<br />
My idea was for the classic Imperial Era legionnaires to be the Heavy, very disciplined nearly Elite infantry of the Empire (like the Legionnaires were in their glory days), and for the medium infantry to be a lighter armored troop, working in conjunction with the heavies. They are mainly used to crew the Imperial Navy's trireme's, dominating the seas surrounding their threatened Empire.<br />
<br />
Keep in mind I might also get some light infantry, such as the <a href="http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/Review.aspx?id=148" target="_blank">Hat set</a> or <a href="http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/Review.aspx?id=705" target="_blank">Zvezda set</a>, but am not sure for now, as the Imperials are probably my largest faction at the moment, and they are going to be more of a quality based army, rather than relying on large numbers to overwhelm the enemy, which is what I had in mind for my "Arab" faction.<br />
<br />
The big man himself, Caesar. But I will just be using him as a high ranking general of the Imperial army as a whole.<br />

Centurion/Row master. Chosen for his size and aggression, this Centurion will only be used to crew my Zvezda Trireme. He keeps the crew and soldiers in check, along with the other centurions, and makes sure the admiral or captain's orders are followed. His stick is for making examples of unruly sailors.<br />

Once again, I'm not really sure if all of these would have fought at Austerlitz, but I'll still throw them into my diorama, showing a desperate struggle to hold a village against the advancing French. Featured are figures from both <a href="http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/Review.aspx?id=1208" target="_blank">Italeri </a><a href="http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/Review.aspx?id=552" target="_blank">sets</a>.<br />

Up next will be the Hungarians, which I'm pretty sure were not at Austerlitz, so I'll have to find something to do with them.<br />
<br />
This weekend I will pick up the Zvezda Roman Trireme, which will go nice up aginst my Viking long ship, and I am even scrathbuilding a medieval Kogg out of cardboard.<br />
<br />
Anyways, have a nice easter weekend!<br />

I have about half of the infantry of <a href="http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/Review.aspx?id=1208" target="_blank">this set </a>finished, but as I mentioned before, I got the other <a href="http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/Review.aspx?id=552" target="_blank">Italeri set</a>, so even more Austrians (and Hungarians) to come, along with some <a href="http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/Review.aspx?id=1335" target="_blank">French from Hat</a>! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
They will be used for my Austerlitz village diorama. Also, since I know nearly nothing about Austerlitz and my readers have proven so knowledgeable before, did any Hungarians fight in the village when the french counter attacked and encircled them?<br />

And that's it for today, but I have more shots of other types of Austrian soldiers, along with French.<br />
<br />
I might also post pictures of the nice display cabinets and lighting system I made for them. <br />

Have a good one!<br />

And once I was halfway through finishing them all, I saw the colorful painting on <a href="http://2paintminiatures.com/blog/?cat=12&paged=3" target="_blank">2paintMiniatures</a> webpage, and couldn't help but fall in love with them, and did what I usually do when I`m halfway through painting an army, restart and make them look better. <br />
<br />
I decided to paint all of my Persian figures in these colorful, exotic outfits. They are from an ancient empire that is in the the easternmost edges of the United Arab lands, and have been fighting the empire and it's expansions for centuries. They used to rule most of the desert, but now form a great minority of the United Arab army, their empire a shadow of what it once was. But their soldiers are of very good quality, and the exotic mounts they bring into battle strike fear into their enemies. It is the richest city in the Arab lands, but is very exclusive, and has an incredible amount of slaves. To their east is the great sunset sea, and past that a very thick, and lush jungles, and grasslands that spread for miles, with grass that grows nearly 2m tall. Although much of it may be myth, since asides from explorers and merchants from the Great City (capital of these guys former empire, haven't chosen a name yet), no western explorers have really explored it, not seeing any worth in legends, and not wanting to deal with the "Persian" forts there, or the Wildmen that live there, which have been fighting a guerrilla style war against the "Persian" expeditions and merchants ever since they set foot on their land.. They coulour their armour and horses with the brightest of dyes and clothes.<br />
<br />
Think of them as ancient Indians mixed with ancient Persians, and they are siding with the Arabs, forming their best quality troops, bringing with them Elephant and Zebra Cavalry (which they captured across the eastern sea), along with chariots, which their nobles use to shred through weakened Imperial formations.<br />

I was going to paint the horses as Zebras, but after taking an hour to do the stripes on An armoured Zebra (for a later post ;), I realised it was too time consuming, and time is not something I have an abundance of at the moment, with College classes, Work and Gym, my usual day starts at 5 am, and ends at 6:30pm or so, giving me about an hour and a half to eat, clean and paint. (Which is why I have trouble posting consistently).<br />

I noticed that many of my newest subscribers seem to be fans of napoleonics, so expect to see more Austrians (and even some Hungarians).<br />
<br />
Anyways, have a nice weekend everyone!<br />

Just think of them as an elite corps of highly trained knights. They will be the Elite of the royalist cavalry.<br />
<br />
Once again, do not look for historical accuracy, since these are just based off the real ones, but for a fantasy game.<br />

The figures are all finished, and I just have a few more of the horses to finish (can't promise when I'll get to them, since I have at least 100 horses of all kind waiting to be painted.) Very excellent set of figures, they were a joy to paint. 9/10 quality as is the norm with most Zvezda sets.<br />
<br />
Anyways I hope you liked them,<br />Have a good weekend,<br />

Here are a few test figures painted up. I am posting these to see if they are accurate to what an Austrian infantryman would look like at the Battle of Austerlitz. If anyone notices any innacuracies, please point them out, I won't be offended, actually I would feel quite the opposite, since I am posting these to learn, since I am new to Napoleonics.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This is my latest version, and my favorite looking. I painted them like I do with my WW2 figures, with a wash and repainting details above it.<br />

Anyways, please leave a comment on which is the more accurate. And if you have a tip on how to fix the first ones, please leave it, since I want a nice accurate diorama.<br />

<br />
Here are some figures which have very few photos on the internet for some reason, which is strange since it is an incredible set. I can't vouch for their accuracy, since I don't know much about Chinese history myself, and <a href="http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/Review.aspx?id=2242" target="_blank">PSR</a> seemed a little confused as well.<br />

But that doesn't matter here, since what I'm doing with my medieval's is making a completely inaccurate and non historical world. I might use real world influences, but it's all what I like to see. It makes the project infinitely more fun to do, since you don't have to follow anything, you just paint what you think looks good.<br />
<br />
These will be the Naval/Land (mostly naval) Infantryof my Mongol-esque barbarian army, which will be completely cavalry, unless they are besieging or at sea, where they bring in these guys.<br />
<br />
I'm thinking that they could be from a more western land in the east that wants to separate itself from the Samurai Empire, siding with the powerful yet free Barbarians. Who knows, they may even want to use the mongols to destroy the Samurai for them, so they can control the lands. Their province is located on the shores mainly, and for that they have a powerful navy, which is vital to the horse-riding barbarians, who need something to counter the Emperor's mighty warships.<br />

I have since gotten a flat blue, and gotten rid of that hideous gloss blue. This spearman needs a repaint. <br />

I have painted more than three, yet I just wanted to give a look at what they look like. I got two boxes of them off eBay when ordering my brothers presents, since Caesar thought 30 figures is an appropriate size for a box of infantry. Now thinking back though, I should have gotten one of these and one of the Ming box, since that one is much more rare.<br />
<br />
Up next will probably be some test shots of Austrian Infantry (the box mentioned in my last post).<br />

Tonight I will not be posting pictures of painted figures, but instead I am posting a question and hoping to see if someone has an answer.<br />

<br />
Today I picked up the <a href="http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/Review.aspx?id=1208" target="_blank">Italeri box of Austrian Infantry</a>, for I fell in love with them ever since first seeing them. I really am a sucker for the fancy new Italeri sculpts.<br />
<br />
Anyways, I bought them, thinking I will base them all together for a little vignette, maybe Austerlitz, with all in formation, and plumes of smoke leaving the muskets as they unleash a volley on the enemy.<br />
<br />
But then I realised that there are three different types of uniforms in the set. The first is the average infantry (fusilier? I am really new to Napoleonic nomenclature), the grenadiers (big roman-esque helmets, my favorite looking ones), and finally another, fluffier hat version. I looked through the osprey books my brother has, and they are all terribly confusing. I think the fluffy hats are Hungarians?<br />
<br />
So I looked up the set online, and couldn't find a single painted version of them anywhere. Which is strange for such a beautiful set.<br />
<br />
So my question is, what do I paint these guys? Do I follow the back of the box, or is Italeri wrong (like they are quite often)? Does anyone have good photos on what they should look like?<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading,<br />
I'll post my Qing troopers tomorrow or wednesday<br />

They are from the Hat Elmoravid box, which comes with a whopping 100 or so figures. Simple detail and easy to paint a lot of them. These are from when I first got them, when I was painting them a lot more drab and sandy looking, whereas my more recnt figures look more colorful.<br />

Once again these are not historicaly accurate, simply pure imagination. I really love this set and would love to get the Andalusian sister set (if I can ever find it). The Arab army I am looking to build might be around 350 infantry figures (3 per stand) representing an even larger army.<br />
<br />
Like it or hate it, leave a comment or criticism, all are welcome.<br />

Excellent figures, highly recommend them. Only problem would be the
tremendous extra plastic between limbs and the flash, but besides that
worth the time.<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading.<br />

And spent almost an entire week painting nothing but this set, just to make sure I got them to what they looked like in my head.<br />
<br />
For those interested here's the PSR review: http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/Review.aspx?id=1510<br />
<br />
But I think the effort was worth it, since my favorite looking set became my favorite figures of my collection.<br />
<br />
Once again, these were not painted to be historically accurate, since I didn't find their original colors gave them justice. Instead I painted them for my Fictional Medieval Wargame.<br />

Swordsman, who will be, along with the spear man, making up the second line of the column.<br />

(And a taste of what's to come) pt.1After 5 months of not posting, I guess I can post something here. Once again I've stopped blogging, but definitely have not stopped painting. In fact I've been painting more than ever. I've acquired many new techniques, and have jumped into a completely new time period, one that never existed: minor fantasy.<br />
<br />
Minor? you might be wondering. Yes, Minor because I am not going magical fantasy, but more of a fictional history, using actual historical figures from pre-gunpowder ages and making a universe where they all exist as different cultures. Think <i>A Song of Ice and Fire</i> (or <i>Game of Thrones </i>to some.) I will be using them for some kind of wargame.<br />
<br />
But don't worry, I haven't abandoned WW2 and Modern models. In fact I just go through phases on what to paint, WW2 one day, medieval the next. <br />
<br />
I have actually moved since my last post to an apartment, and just figured out how I'm gonna store my figures with smaller space, along with setting up my table. Instead of my good old plant growing lite, I'm stuck with a magnifying poseable lamp, still bright but in the way of my painting.<br />
<br />
And today I took a few photos. Now these are just sample photos, testing things out. This is definetely not all I've painted, only a couple figures from each "army" (even though I only covered half of my current armies).<br />
<br />
So without further chit-chat, here are some previews.<br />

Zvezda "Northern Heavy Riders", I'm giving them an asian colour spice, similar to the real life kievan knights, since their land will be near the Samurai one. (Zvezda Mounted Russian Knights)<br />

And something I've had for quite a long time but only started serious work on recently, my Northern Longship (Revell 1:45(?) Viking Boat). The crewmen are all Ehmhar (very cool figures, useful for any ship, and eve have a bendable plastic that lets you customize the pose to hold the rams!)<br />

Oh yes, definetely more to come, especialy since I've only previewed half of what I've done since my last postings!<br />
<br />
I have yet to figure out a way to base them (especially those old ones without bases).<br />
<br />
<br />
Share your feedback (especialy on the new photography format), good or bad, both are welcome! Because you are never perfect, there is always some way you can improve yourself.<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading,<br />

These were made using the parts given in the PSC set, along with Popsicle stick floors and a few spare guns I had lying around. I really like that you can make 6 tanks out of one box, and am very much looking forward to getting the M3's for my Americans, as the M3 is one of my favorite tanks.<br />
