28mm SPANISH CIVIL WAR

 Here are some 28mm Empress Miniatures Spanish Civil War minis that I have just finished. I have always been interested in the SCW and have a large collection of 20mm/1/72 scale SCW models, but recently decided to indulge in the 28mm offerings from Empress. These are delightful figures and look excellent when painted.

JARL SIGIVALDI

Here is Jarl Sigvaldi the Jomsviking Raider from Musketeer Miniatures. I painted him last night. It is a a lovely figure full of character.

28mm SUDAN - DERVISHES V. BRITS

 Yesterday the Valiant Stormers had their monthly meeting at the Soldier's Club in Goulburn. A number of games were played amongst which was a glorious 28mm Sudan game using masses of Perry 28mm Sudan minis and playing with the Black Powder rules. Here are some photos of the game which was a spectacular affair.

A SUNDAY AFTERNOON DRIVE IN THE COUNTRY

A line up of my 1/50 scale metal diecast toys. All the AFVS with the exception of the T62 leading the procession are Solido as is the Dodge with the 106mm RCL. The T62 is a Polistil model. The Toyota with the 23mm AAA is from Imprint models. The single figure is a Black Scorpion mini which is a big 28mm (almost 30mm) that gives you a scale for the vehicles. 1/50 fits nicely with the bigger 28mm minis. The is also a Eureka Minis 28mm figure in the last two pictures which is the smaller of the two figures.

VIKING LORD

Here is my latest Viking Lord - painted last night. This is a Foundry mini. I replaced the sword the mini was cast with with a nice big axe. I enjoyed painting this fellow and can't wait to get him onto the tabletop to build a fearsome reputation. Interestingly this mini is a big mini - more than 30mm in height, a good buddy for the Reaper figures that I have.
