Brush & Sand: Part 2
(Editor’s note: we continue to follow Teddy’s hobby adventures abroad.) I am most excited to get working on the US Airborne and I was held over for a few days during in processing. Off to the PX to see what I can find for a light. At first I was thinking I might have to use a head lamp but bless AAFES for having a … Continue reading Brush & Sand: Part 2

Reviving an Old Mule Part Three: The Rolling Stock
Now that we have the engine sorted it’s time for the rolling stock. Like the pannier engine I had two goods wagons, a flatcar, and a liquid tank car primed and sitting in the pile of shame for a few years. It was high time to change that. Continue reading Reviving an Old Mule Part Three: The Rolling Stock
Terrain Tutorial: Concrete
This is how I do my basic concrete look. The project is a couple of water tanks for the Adepticon Stalingrad table or it could also be used for a number of other industrial set ups. I’ve seen a ton of other awesome methods out there, but I have a lot of terrain to paint and don’t have the time to spend days on these so this is what you get! Hopefully it’s effective enough and helpful. Continue reading Terrain Tutorial: Concrete

Ben’s BEF
I’ve said it before, but I really enjoy early war action. Seeing nations try their interwar solutions against an actual opposing force fascinates me. Sure Tigers, Shermans, and T-34/85s are fun but there is a certain charm when a Vickers light tank is the menace on the field. Continue reading Ben’s BEF
Somewhere Near Moscow 1941 – A Brief Battle Report
We played a battle taking place in late October 1941 on the drive to Moscow during Operation Typhoon. The first snows came in October freezing and melting over and over creating an icy, slushy quagmire. The Soviets were defending the outskirts of a small factory community to the northwest on the road to Moscow… Continue reading Somewhere Near Moscow 1941 – A Brief Battle Report
History to Hobby: The Mighty Rubicon EmCha 76
Once in a while I find myself smitten by a photograph and I feel the need to emulate the photo in miniature. Enter the lend-lease Sherman. Red Army tankers referred to the imported American M4A2 affectionately as the Emcha which is Russian for the letter M (em) and number 4 (cha).
