The Laden Traveller

I have had this chap sitting in my to-do pile for a good while now - he was part of my first order from Hasslefree Miniatures, all the way back in October 2013. He has been given a range of different right arms, from his original pistol to cricket bats, before I finally settled upon …

More rebasings

Sleeping, database management, travelling on public transport - all these things are made more unpleasant with this heat (honest, Great Western Railways, where are your trains with functioning air conditioning?). To this list I add painting. No matter how wet my palette, the paint dries on the brush and the miniature before I can spread …

Terraced Prototypes.

I have found that constructing terrain is still a slog - I do not have the same degree of patience for it as with painting. I have a TTCombat suburban house in progress, and a set of apartments still in their wrapping, and I am hit by a wave of lethargy whenever I sit down …

Office Workers

There has been an extended break in blog posts, linked primarily to D&D-related distractions which have taken up two of my weekday evenings - leaving me with Fridays and weekends for other hobbies, and we have managed to fill our weekends up with a lot of real life stuff of late. However, with one D&D campaign recently …

Making Contact – A Solo Pulp Alley AAR

A Lost Package – A Solo Pulp Alley AAR

Thought I'd try taking the pictures for this on my phone, reasoning it might be less hassle to do in the midst of a game. Unfortunately, the daylight in Britain this time of year barely seems to last six hours, so I played by artificial light and I don't think the pictures have come out …

Warehouse Personnel

Some speedy jobs (as in, they only took days rather than weeks...) to cover some plot points in future Pulp Alley games. The middle gent is a Hasslfree miniature I did a year ago or so when I was putting together a zompocalypse collection, and I felt he was generic enough to transfer across. He …

This troublesome witch…

First of the two muggle-dressed witches painted up. I struggled to enjoy painting this one, and I'm not altogether sure why. It's not the sculpting style, because I've enjoyed painting Offensive Miniatures products before and she's not dissimilar to the male rioters. There were tricky areas to get a brush into - particularly the neck …

A shifty individual

I've been in a bit of a painting slump of late. I've tried breaking through the block with some sculpting / pushing around of Green Stuff. More on that in the future. I've got several miniatures lying around with varying numbers of layers of paint, but this is the only one I've managed to work …

A Quick Getaway – A Solo Pulp Alley AAR

The adventure continues as Cedric Wyrtgeorn and his employees seek to escort Dr Elaine Darrow out of Mexico on their hunt for her missing father. I slightly altered the protagonists' profiles, and threw together a League of Legends (four sidekicks) to oppose them, since it got a bit troublesome distinguishing between all the different foot soldiers in the last …
