After months of being in a state of limbo, I was just able to finish painting and assembling my Schwere Panzer force. This represents 1500pts out of the Grey Wolf book for FOW. More info and bigger pics here:

This was a great fun project to do and I think the results turned out really well. It's useful for multiple scales. Comments and critiques welcome!

CD's make great bases for 'scatter' terrain.
I like the movable bases on the trees, too.

Nice work.

Lower rating? You ship first.

Give me a sense of humor Lord. Give me the grace to see a joke.
To get some humor out of life and pass it on to other folk.

Very nice use of the PVC pipe. Me likey.
Do you have rules for going in some and out others, or is it just WYSIWYG?

The pipes are very cool, though I want them to be green! (maybe with some little man eating plants popping out...)

If you are not going to post a reference for me, please explain why, maybe I can fix it!

Started a lot of work to expand my Schwere Panzer Company to encompass units under the Kampfgruppe Bäke list from Grey Wolf.

More info and pics below:

EDIT: Picasa seems to have changed the color temp on the old pics, making the red oxide appear orange. Did my best to fix it...

Did a repaint of some very cheap Marder Ms for Flames of War. I think they came out rather well (the odd greyish-white spots are a trick of the light).

After months of on-and-off work, I present the engines capable of utterly destroying the Fascist invaders! Comrades, our industry has finally provided us with a full Battalion of the previously "Experimental Tanks" with which to crush our enemies.

Re: Ancientsociety's Random Blog (7/10 Old West Town WIP)

Work continues on the buildings of Canyon Diablo, slowly but surely. First up this week is the Dance Hall (described in the contemporary literature as "little more than houses of ill repute"), as such I started adding a large moonshine still to the rear of the building. Don't be alarmed by the bright red fire hydrant look, the shape will be half hidden by dried earth along the bottom half (shown sometimes on old stills to contain heat), piping will be added, and the entire thing will be painted an aged copper color. The fence framing has been added and I'll be adding the boards after painting the groundcover.
