Blue Moon Zombie Redux

Hello, just a follow up from last post; gave the blue moon zombies a wash with some
thinned Windsor and Newton Peat Ink, as per advice received on LAF from a helpful fellow, Vyper. I think they do look a lot better , less chalky....I also realize I will never be a great painter....I just do not have the patience or focus. I am used to hurriedly painting armies for gaming, and quite often forget to actually finish the figures, or get easily distracted with the next shiny.

15mm zombies for Strange Aeons

Hello, just finished 6 zombies for the skirmish game Strange Aeons. Just picked up the rules the other day, and of course ordered a bunch of figs from khurasan,copplestone, and brigade. Will try to do this project in 15 mm; the first painted minis I have are some zombies from Blue Moon Manufacturing Co. I will probably paint a lot more for other zombie gaming, but I doubt I will need more than 6 for Strane Aeons.
 Hopefully I will be able to get some buildings from Blue Moon  from their sleepy hollow set. Strange Aeons is set in the 1920s to 1930s, and while OK with that, what I yearn to do is some modern version based on the XCOM UFO DEFENSE video game.
In fact it was Mr. Harolds teasing on the subject that got me interested in Strange Aeons in the first place.
 Well, here are the 6 zombies, I assume some type of cultists or agents will be next.

I guess my favorite would be the farmer zombie. while I feel like I did OK on the flesh, I may have gone overboard with the blood.Luckily I feel like these could be modern or 1920s zombies

WH40K OGRYNS

Hello
Just a few old photos of some 40k Ogryns I found on my hard drive. Sold these on ebay about 4 years ago
I really liked how these came out, even had a custom APC for them. I really enjoyed the huge player base that GW games enjoy, too bad I cant stand playing their games. and yes I realize these are not 15mm, but i have been in a real slump lately not painting much...most of minis in storage, lately just work, teaching my 15 year old son about weight training and martial arts , as we train together in the Bujinkan.
But all hope is not lost, I have begun painting again, slowly, now working on a small platoon(31) of 15mm Quar 

gashopon size comparison

Hello, just a quick pic to clarify size differences between gundam gashopon for Robin ,of Gruntz fame.
In the backrank is a 1/144 zaku poseable
2nd rank are 5 1/300 Zaku snipers fixed positon
3rd rank are several different poses Zaku 1/400 gashopon, mounted on GW upside down 40 mm diam. bases
front rank are 3 15 mm figures, blurred of course

a lull in the action

Hello, has been quite a while since I painted anything for 15mm. I seem to be in a slump. having ordered so many 15 mm goodies, I seem to be paralyzed by choices....so I did what any sane, rational man would not.
I started a new blog and a new scale. brilliant.
Actually just a side project, painting some old discarded mechwarrior clickies I had lying about in a box.
Will try to make useable armies out of the trash, for use with Gruntz, and Tactical assault card game.
Actually has sparked a little creative fire under my aging neurons, and am enjoying painting once again.
if interested in progress /ramblings along the 10 mm sci fi frontier head over to Rusty Mech Salvage Yards.

28mm security types

howdy, i realize this is not 15mm ,but, just something i was playing around with.
A few 28 mm security types for 5150 NB/ or a henchman group for 28mm blasters and bulkheads or ITEN
very simple easy paintjob( I seem to have no patience for 28-32mm anymore) still have to stain the flesh a little.
I may invest in some clear acrilic bases for these guys

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.
