I build a new desktop for my painting and modeling needs

So I am back from a holiday in Italy now. Sorry that I didn’t post a lot during the last week. I rebuild my painting and modeling desk though. I needed more space on the table to be able to do terrain work there, too . The solution was to have a second level on the desk for storing the paints and all the other paraphernalia of our hobby. So I put down a sheet of MDF to protect the desk and build a second level in the back of the table. Pictures of work in progress:

Sorry but can’t remember were the paint racks came from forgot to keep a bookmark. But I think I saw them over on the Lead Adventure Forum.

Here are pictures of the finished table . I have a painting and modeling side now . Left is modeling right is painting.

So now with more space painting will go on !

 

Ass Hauer the leader of the halfmen militia unit

I finished the first miniature from the Westfalia halfmen kickstarter  ( You can see the unpainted miniature here). The figure of a famous old warrior who fought many battles against the yellow Kobolds of Dort-Mund. In these battles he lost an eye and a leg but he still wants to get back into the fight. Here is the finished Ass Hauer:

Next will be the members of his unit. The figures are very well sculpted and a treat to paint! I am looking forward to painting all the other miniatures. Well done Westfalia Miniatures !!!

There will be a new Nickstarter for Frostgrave starting on Monday next week called Forgotten pacts and it will include a new plastic boxed set of Barbarians. Here are pictures of the box art and of some of the figures ( As far as I can tell the figures are metal ones not from the box.

These figures cry Wildlings in the GoT setting to me ! So definitely a box I have to get my fingers on! I found another figure you can get from Northstar. Looks like Brienne of Tarth to me:

The Barbarians should be available in November.
