Why is life so busy? I need to retire and simply build and blog! Ben suggested we send out occasional updates on what we are working on. Like most gamers/ modelers etc.. I tend to have a lot of irons in the fire and summer makes it all the more challenging with family and work obligations. Unfortunately Ben and I had to put our Stalingrad … Continue reading Drew’s Early Summer 2023 Hobby Update
After much prep work, I recently kicked off the campaign. Without further ado: June 4, 1942 – Somewhere in the waters off Midway Atoll Ensign Paul Paulson flies wingman for Dick “Bastard” Blanchard. He lost a bet, it happens, and no one likes flying with Bastard. They cruise some distance from their carrier: USS Lake Erie (CV-2)*. They fly what is known as a Combat … Continue reading Battle of Midway Part 1- Chapter 1 (BtH Pacific Campaign)
Recently I discovered a new entrant to the 28mm STL market called Colonel Muller Miniatures. The 1940 French troops I have printed for my ongoing project have turned out wonderfully. Being excited about the miniatures I reached out to Colonel Muller Miniatures asking if they would be interested in an interview for Iron Dice Gaming.

If you’ve gotten this far and you’re wondering what campaign I’m rambling on about, you can check out the previous article covering the setting here. Continue reading Bag The Hun Pacific Campaign: Materials Prep
A print the size of the Jagdpanther is a great blank canvas to work upon. My first task was to see if I could find a camouflage scheme appropriate for a unit that was at the Battle of the Bulge. Continue reading Painting the Night Sky Miniatures Jagdpanther
… Leutnants Evan and Ben are relieved from duty. Ben – Evan and I were finally able to meet in Schaumburg Illinois at Adepticon and play some wargames together! We had a blast playing in the Bolt Action doubles event and had the pleasure of playing against some really awesome opponents. The majority of the 32 teams had stuck to the early war theme covering … Continue reading Pervetin Pals Seeking Bagettes: On the Campaign to Adepticon Doubles 2023 Part 3
Recently I added the Rubicon Panzer IV D/E to my backlog inventory. It can be found on Kick Ass Mail Order for the astonishingly low price of $23.50 USD. Funnily enough, I had initially bought the kit for its decals. I have found Rubicon decals are vastly superior to Warlord decals in terms of durability. This is particularly important to people with fat fingers like … Continue reading Rubicon Panzer IV D/E Unboxing and Review
