Sunday morning Trash n’ Treasure Markets. 2 bucks per box. ‘House of Campaign’ English Civil War figures. Lovely sculpts couldn’t resist. I have the Zvezda Austrians so I think these may match well. My next big project will either be 30YW or Aztecs in 1/72. Also picked up this Iron Crown LoTRs role playing book for a dollar.

Some more valiant knights have arrived for my 1:72 armies.

I still find it funny they claim these figures are "Wargames Approved".

Approved by who?!

I do really like Italeri stuff though, they are pretty cheap but their figures are detailed and well defined.

The only issue is that they are awkwardly situated between 28mm and 15mm and so you are dependent on other 1:72 manufacturers.

(Some of which are Ukrainian and Russian, so with their own problems)

I am fascinated by this tagline.

I am not sure what it wants to tell me, but I am fascinated.

#172scale #miniatures #fantasy

Caesar Miniatures Goblins, tag line "You could resist Goblins no longer!", under it crude picture of green goblins. Also writing 35+ figures 1:72

#tanktuesday A Finnish post war Pz. IV unit with a smuggled in Pz. III which the Finns never had. These are all Italeri and Tamiya kits. #135scale #172scale #afvmodel #tankmodel #tankmodelling #scalemodel #plasticmodels #scalemodelling #wargames #wargaming #hobby #miniatures #shipmodel #shipmodelling #H0gauge

Talked with the proprietor of the last remaining model/wargame shop in Bayreuth (itself a surreal experience as that place is absolutely packed to the rood with stuff) and found out that somehow nobody does medieval model stuff in 1/72 anymore, only WWII.

Also that he has been waiting for a delivery from Caesar Miniatures for four years now and he thinks they might not even exist anymore.

Which would be sad, but not all that surprising.

More holiday modelling. This time a Korean War era Vought F4U Corsair by #Italieri in #172scale. The kit itself is pretty awful but i think i managed to rescue it from mediocrity.

In the case you grew up with these 1:32 Airfix toy soldiers as I did you should note more changes in appearance ... #132scale #54mm #135scale #172scale #afvmodel #tankmodel #tankmodelling #scalemodel #plasticmodels #scalemodelling #wargames #wargaming #hobby #miniatures #shipmodel #shipmodelling #H0gauge #toysoldiers #armymen

I have recorder an unboxing of a terrific microscale model (1:72) of our local, polish rescue helicopter that operates in our highest Tatra Mountains. Attaching a photo, which presents how it looks in reality.

Will be working on this model soon - it's rather an advanced one, with additional, photo-etched parts.

My current work in progress is the conversion of the classic Airfix 1/32 toy soldiers British Support Team set into Australian machine gunners and mortar crew. A simple head swap is doing the job. #135scale #172scale #afvmodel #tankmodel #tankmodelling #scalemodel #plasticmodels #scalemodelling #wargames #wargaming #hobby #miniatures #shipmodel #shipmodelling #H0gauge #toysoldiers #armymen

Some of my painted 54 mm figures. This is the 1/32 Italeri Soviet Winter Infantry set, again painted as Finns. #135scale #172scale #afvmodel #tankmodel #tankmodelling #scalemodel #plasticmodels #scalemodelling #wargames #wargaming #hobby #miniatures #shipmodel #shipmodelling #H0gauge

This 28 mm Warlord/Bolt Action Soviet Machine Gun Team has received Finnish uniforms, strengthening my Finnish Bolt Action force. #135scale #172scale #afvmodel #tankmodel #tankmodelling #scalemodel #plasticmodels #scalemodelling #wargames #wargaming #hobby #miniatures #shipmodel #shipmodelling #H0gauge

This was quite a unique modelling experiment: I tried to enhance one of these cheap plastic toy guns found in Chinese copied toy soldier bags up to 54 mm standards. Quite happy with the result. #135scale #172scale #afvmodel #tankmodel #tankmodelling #scalemodel #plasticmodels #scalemodelling #wargames #wargaming #hobby #miniatures #shipmodel #shipmodelling #H0gauge

I agree, this what-if Finnish winter camo on a 1/72 Plastic Soldier T-55 is outrageous ... but was huge fun to paint. 😄 #135scale #172scale #afvmodel #tankmodel #tankmodelling #scalemodel #plasticmodels #scalemodelling #wargames #wargaming #hobby #miniatures #shipmodel #shipmodelling #H0gauge

Another scene with different 1/35 kits and miniatures. This time a 3,7 cm Flak 43 and a Demag 1t. #135scale #172scale #afvmodel #tankmodel #tankmodelling #scalemodel #plasticmodels #scalemodelling #wargames #wargaming #hobby #miniatures #shipmodel #shipmodelling #H0gauge
