VBCW Vehicles

I took another shot of the BUF infantry without the light box, better this time I think.

These are two BUF vehicle I recently finished. Both are from BEF Miniatures. The first is a kfz. 13 Adler Armoured car. The crew have been converted to have English heads (the orginial crew were distinctly German).

This a British Morris CS9 LAC.

VBCW BUF Infantry

These are the remaining 10 Gripping Beast WWI miniatures that I painted up as BUF troopers from the VBCW setting.

A group shot of all 2o figures. I constructed a light box out of a box and some vellum paper I've had lying around for a while to see if that will help with my photography. I'm not sure I like it. I use a Sony digital camera and use the macro setting to take the pictures, but I'm not getting the results I want. I think I'm going to stick to not using the light box, I like the above picture much better. I'll get another picture on here with all of the infantry when I've completed the two armored cars that are next.

VBCW BUF preview

These are another 10 BUF miniatures I've finished for the VBCW commission I've been working on. They are from Gripping Beast's WWI range, Serge Uniform with Brodie Helmet. They are the first miniatures from GB's Woodbine Design ranges that I have painted and they are very nice miniatures. I have 10 more to finish and two vehicles (also for BUF forces).

More VBCW

These are reinforcements for the Parish of St. Martin from the Island of Jersey in the Channel Islands. They're Spanish Immigrants and will be supporting the Anglican League in the Very British Civil War (VBCW) setting. The figures are Carlists in the Spanish Civil War range by Empress Minitures (Nationalists range) and they are some great looking miniatures.


I'm not really sure where these miniatures are from (I think they're French Resistance fighters), but they will be acting as some VBCW militia reinforcements armed with sub-machine guns and two teams with light machine guns.

BUF reinforcements inbound

It's been a while since I've updated the blog, I had been in graduate school and that was taking up a lot of my time. I recently started full-time employment and will have some more free time on my hands resulting in an increase in my productivity.



This update is a commission with more Very British Civil War BUF figures. The figure are from Empress Miniatures and Musketeer Miniatures. Load of character in these miniature and I had a great time working on them.

VBCW update

This is a Lancia Armored Truck from Musketeer Miniatures. Excellent miniature and, despite not having instructios, went together fairly quickly. I painted it with Vallejo Model Color Russian Uniform, washed it with black, went back over it with Russian Uniform, and then added highlights and dirt/dust.

A large group of Artizan Partisans, again going to see action in VBCW gaming. Love the character of these models.

VBCW Truck

This is a Dixon Miniatures Prohibition Era truck that is going to see time in VBCW gaming. The cargo in the back looks like material for bootlegging, but upon closer inspection is all material for guerrilla warfare. I almost put the driver on the wrong side!

VBCW

These are all the figures I finished recently for a Very British Civil War commission (VBCW). They are a mixture of Dixon, Brigade Games, and Artizan Design miniatures.

These are from Dixon Miniatures, the first figures I've painted from this company. They are very nice and I really enjoyed the ones on the bicycles.

These are Gangster Molls from Brigade Games. They are excellent miniatures too, and I recommend them to anyone looking to add some females to their VBCW gaming.

These are from Empress Miniatures' Spanish Civil War line and represent the Parish of St. Martin. They do nicely to add some color and pomp to the VBCW. I've already painted a batch of 12 that these few go with.

Finally, is a pack of Artizan Design French Partizans. Excellent figures, but the one knelling is missing the hand supporting the sub-machine gun. A casting error I suppose.
