Finished up the companion to the "Stug" mech I posted earlier this year. This is the "Tiger" mech from West Wind Productions, although this build-out differs from what they currently offer on their website. Friend of mine picked it up in their kickstarter and asked me to paint it for him as he doesn't like doing vehicles. I drilled out the "turret" and the legs and epoxied magnets in so the turret can rotate. They're 1/4" so you can actually pick the thing up by the turret! Base coat and camo is Tamiya, details are in an assortment of manufacturers paints. Weathered with an oil pin wash and Secret Weapon pigments. Markings are from a 1/48 sheet of dry transfers from Archer.

I painted most of these figures quickly or experiment when I did so. The exception is the reaper figure. I didn't really paint his face with too much detail, you can't see it due to the hat and what I did paint is sufficient (white eyes, basic colour variation on skin). Lords Duelists They look better in person (I swear, the light makes the skin look washed out more than it is, plus the hair has darker shadows.) Feedback and Critiques are welcome and appreciated.

I've been doing a lot of Sci-Fi lately, so felt like doing something a bit more...old fashioned. I have a ton (not literally, I think it was under 100 lbs....) of Empire of the Dead miniatures, a Steampunk/Victorian/Horror minis game based in 1888 London from West Wind Productions. So I took a look through the boxes and thought I'd try my hand at one of the Hansom Cabs I have. It should be fun. This will be the first resin and metal model I've done in....ummm, let's go with "some time"... This will be the first carriage I've done. And this will be the first horse I've ever done (that wasn't a mutated Goblin anyway....). And it will hopefully get me back to working on miniatures at home a few evenings a week. So, what's in the bag? Hmmm, lots of bits. Springs, an axle, some lamps, a bunch of heads. I decided to focus on the carriage for now, and cleaned everything up. There was a slight mold misalignment on the back of the main body which required some work (and still needs a bit more). There were also a couple of bubbles that needed to be taken care of. I've also gone through and drilled pilot holes for each of the mounting spots where they weren't well defined. I'll drill them out further as needed when I get to test fitting all the pieces. At this point I had to let the green stuff cure so that was it for the evening.
