Pax Bochemannica Boche - finished

It should be obvious by now, but I really love these figures. They are brimmed-full of character, loads of fun to paint and beautifully sculpted - as a figure collector, what more could I ask for?

After varnishing the miniatures with first gloss and then Galleria matt varnish, I have added static grass, static grass tufts and ground foam to the bases.

The image below shows my complete Boche Warband - all 25 painted figures.

Pax Bochemannia Boche - part seven

My latest update shows all of the painting finished. I just need to varnish and add some decoration to the bases.

Image Two - Tvacii and Mandii - they could almost be sisters!

Image Three - Issvace with Patch.

Image Four - Cheesy with his sock standard.

Pax Bochemannia Boche - part six

The painting continues.....

Not much to add to the previous post/posts. Tvacii has her red bikini and Mandii, painted in much more sombre colours has her leather mini-skirt. Cheesy has his sock painted and we should see the miniatures finished (the painting at least) in the next post.

Miniature Wargames June 2016 - issue 398

Issue 398 of Miniature Wargames with Battlegames includes a three page article written by me showing how I scratch-built and painted this 1/100th scale Fokker EIII Eindecker.

Regular readers of the magazine will know of a short two part series of articles written in previous issues by Chris Russell. Eindecker part one - reviewed and gave details of this iconic aircraft, while Eindecker part two published a set of WW1 wargame rules.

In Eindecker part three, I show how I built this model.

The Eindecker is not my only 1/100th scale scratch-built air plane - here you see the Eindecker chasing a DH2 flown by Lanoe Hawker.

Once again, Henry (the editor) has produced a very well illustrated article full of large and useful photos showing the stages of construction and painting. Well done.

Miniature Wargames is currently on sale in WH Smiths. The cover price is £4.50.

Pax Bochemannica Boche - part five

The painting continues.....

Tvacii has been given a more orange skin tone (all that spray sun tan) while the leader Issvace now has some stripped trews and a scarf. The bulldog (Patch) has the main skin colour laid down with a brown eye patch and Cheesy has his trews painted. Mandii has been painted in much more sombre colours than her 'twin' with grey hair and sallow skin tones.

More to follow.
