As it says somewhere on this page, this blog is dedicated to what I'm doing in the wargaming hobby at the moment. This post covers a broad spectrum of the hobby. So, let's get started.
Here is the Bristol Scout D. This is the first airplane model that I designed.
This is the Roland DII fighter. Not a very good fighter, but a cool looking one. This model was designed by myself and is 1/285 scale, as are the next two.
This is the AGO CI observation plane. Only about 60 were made, but I think it is one of the most unique planes of the First World War.
Here is the Vosin 3, the first bomber of the Great War. It is a French aircraft, but the British built 50 of them for their use and this one is marked as a British plane. All of the above models will be available (as STL files) from 4P Models on Wargame Vault.
How's this for different, Martian tripod walkers from "The War of the Worlds". This is a model I designed for 4P's Halloween bundle.
To switch gears, this is a 1/600 scale cardstock model of the Queen of the West, based on the Osprey painting. I designed this (and many other) models nearly 30 years ago. The originals are in 1/300 scale, but by printing at 50% I reduced it to the smaller scale (I found 1/300 too large for the table).
Here is a generic ram, based on illustrations from contemporary newspaper articles.
This is the CSS Arkansas. Had I been doing these models today, they would have been for 3D printing, but that wasn't an option back then.
Switching gears again, next up are women's American tackle football teams. This is the uniform of the Rocky Mountain Thunderkatz, my local team (only about two hours from my place in the sticks).
Next, is the Kristianstad Predators. They are from Sweden.
This is the uniform of the Brno Amazons, from the Czech Republic. The four photos above show the standard electric football figurines.
These are the Rodgau Pioneers, from Germany. The left figure was posed by myself, from an STL I actually paid for (a rare occurrence). The right figure is the QB that Tudor Games sells.
These are the Helsinki Wolverines, from Finland. Both figures are different poses of the STL mentioned above.
The final photos are of the Tabor Taborites, of the Czech Republic. This is the only team that is not an actual women's football team. This is a conjectural uniform based on the town colors and history of Tabor. They were suggested by a dear friend, so I painted them. I also wanted to show all of the poses I did.
I hope you enjoyed this variety. Next time, I'll be back to more ship models.
Happy Gaming!
