A Biblical Granary - Miniature Wargames issue 474

The latest issue of Miniature Wargames (issue 474 from October 2022) has another wargame terrain tutorial built and written by me - A Biblical Granary built to 28mm scale based on a number of museum pieces found on the internet.

The following images show the finished model with a 28mm scale mini alongside and shown for scale.

The model was built over a corrugated cardboard core on a hardboard base. Wall texturing was done with ready-mixed filler, DAS modelling clay and acrylic medium and painting was completed with a mix of brush painting and airbrushing.

For more information, you can pick up the magazine from W H Smiths.

Tradition Magazine

I picked up a number of issues of Tradition - The Journal of the International Society of Military Collectors from 1968/69 at the market place/hall in Tenbury Wells for just £1.00 each. The vendor had a number of issues, but after browsing the pages, I thought that two was more than enough.

The magazines are mainly black and white with some colour plates, but have little in the way of modelling information other than simple illustrations compered with more modern publications.

Official Panzerfauste Resin Building For Sale on Ebay

I was recently informed that this set of resin buildings for Panzerfauste were available for sale on Ebay. For more information, see this link.

The masters for all these and others were sculpted by me and were for some time available via Hysterical Games but are now no longer available and I'm not sure where the moulds or masters are. If you are interested, you had better act fast.

Stalone - Samaritan

A quick review (no spoilers) of the Sylvester Stallone film Samaritan.

Sue and I watched it last night and can't say that we enjoyed it that much. The best I can say is that Stalone's acting was some of his best (not saying that much).
