Jasper Delves into the Shelves of Shame

[Jasper_the_2nd]

It really should be shelves and trays and boxes and cases and drawers and cupboards...

As I try to get my painting room organized I keep being frustrated by where to put all these assortments of random partially painted, primed, and unprimed but assembled loose figures that I have in every conceivable container.  So I decided I should really try to finish some up.  They will be a good change of pace or when I'm tired of whatever I'm working on, or good motivation when I'm having trouble getting going (that's why I grabbed some today).

Now some of these are big enough groupings that they will get their own threads, like all the Clan War stuff, the entire VOID Syntha army, the Chronopia stuff, etc but the misc bits and bobs will end up here.

 

Starting out we have:

 

I "think" the ballistae and catapult (onager?) were from megaminis.  The multi-barrel cannon I picked up at the game store back close to 2 decades ago and have no idea who made it.

 

I haven't done anything to the cannon yet except dust it a bit.  The catapult was started, I just finished the wood to match.  One ballista had the wood done, I did the other two to match.  The "paint" used is the old Reaper Pro Paint Wood Shade Ink.  Painting it over straight white primer gives that result.  That's how I did wood back in the day..... Not sure what I'd use to highlight it....

Cool artillery.

 

Isn't the Organ Gun an older GW sculpt? Or maybe a Historical Wargame Piece?

[Jasper_the_2nd]

It doesn't match anything I've found images of for GW (or anyone else for that matter).

It's a cool little piece, which is presumably why I picked it up, but no markings on it or anything.

Is it a 28mm or a 15mm organ gun?

[Jasper_the_2nd]

I assume its 28mm (it'd be huge as a 15mm figure).

Yay, go you!

Clear that shelf!

You can do it like nobody's elf!

Gooooooo team!

Found some time to work on the ballistae over the weekend.  

 

 

Mostly done.  Just need to tidy a few spots up.  I was getting shaky so it was time to stop last night.

 

I wanted different colours for the spears in case I ever use these when running D&D or something.  My criteria for picking the colours was that I knew I wanted red, green and blue, and then I just picked P3 pots that had never been opened....

Looking good!
