essence weilder for blasters and bulkheads

hello, fellow 15 mm enthusiasts. I have not updated the blog in quite a while. My teenage son finally moved in to live with me, so real life
actually has crowded out many former activities. now that the dust has settled, just wanted to share my first character for Blasters and Bulkheads. I believe it is a Blue Moon betelgeusian with a minimalist conversion of a lightsabre. sorry no advanced OSL painting techniques here, just good old fashioned mettalic paint.( I guess at heart i am a disorganized toy painter, not an artist).
easy conversion, pin vise, add 25 guage medical hypo needle. Here we have the hero using force push to ensure no one else gets a turn driving the big tractor.

Robotic Support Weapon

Howdy,
This is my new squad attachment, heavily armored robotic support weapon. The weapon functions as either area effect
anti- personnell HE weapon, or anti armor rifle. I am thinking of using them for my Squamata Imperialis army,
as it already contains several repurposed Gundam designs. This figure is actually 1/550 scale gundam model.
I forgot the name( Gouf?). Purchased in a 1/550 scale model kit from hobby link japan for about 5$ american.
The kit came with 3 of these figures. it was a strange yellow VTOL model. I have 5 more like this. I envision its use as
a squad attached killer kan/dreadnought. Alien and human for scale comparison. I used red rather than the usual light purple
as my squamata are red and black.

a little slow of late

Hello,
 things have been a little slow of late. Recently recovering from a hobby binge shopping spree which took several months. I am now officially out of money for trivial hobby pursuits.
Some of my highlighted purchases:
...21 pounds of lead from GZG, purchased the day before their hiatus
...a table full of CMG buildings painted for me by Matt Sabol of Sabol design studios
...2 complete painted 10 mm ancients armies(caesarian roman and gauls)
... several nice sized orders from Khurasan, Rebel minis, Combat Wombat
... a large sized force of rogue trader era GW orks
... a large bundle of starship interiors from creative gamescapes
on top of all this influx of hobby material....my workspace became cluttered and clogged, granting me the equivalent status of hobby constipation. So now I have to dig out, reorganize, reprioritize my projects, if I ever want to make any progress again.
Recently switched back from cheap craft paints back to my Vallejo, Reaper, and Vallejo Game colors.
the coverage issues were just too frustrating to  continue to put up with.
  So now I have a few projects to focus on....first up a small sized force of 15mm Quar....next some rebased mechwarrior infantry....and finally to make some progress on a set of skirmish rules stuck in my head....

rescue from the island of misfit toys

Howdy,
just rescued this horrible useless star wars CMG droid starfighter in walking mode.
It now has a new life as an armored grav bike / armored fast attack tank destroyer/ infantry fighting vehicle.
Only extra piece was an old GW flight stand. juat a little strategic cutting, a little boiling water and repositioning(might need a touch more) and a little gorilla super glue. The best part of this formerly useless model was the prepaint ,which made it worth saving.
now I believe I have 8 more to do. No idea yet which army will get these. I guess they could even serve in a blockhead/mechanoid/droid army, fittingly.

cant decide locomotion

hello, i have 6 gundam 1/144 balls that i want to use as tanks. i really would rather they be walkers than grav. help me choose wich version. I have 6 droid starfighters in walking mode and 6 huge crab droids ,so no problem with resources.

janitor and his bots

hello, here we have a hapless kidnapping victim and the two bots he handily created to keep him company.
will probably use them as game objectives, i.e.- rescue the hostages on a deserted sattelite, guarded by computer controlled drones and droids.
i dont have to say they were really fun to paint, the perfect little project to relieve stress.
ahhh memories
