    W40K decals would do the job nicely.

    The Russians were a little ahead of their time with the Ilya Muromets. Is that where they got the idea?

    Decals are from MISCMINI. Skulls are from an Albatross DIII set and the Eagles are a fantasy set he has.

    Since I see Andy is on here are some other planes I did. Inspired by him.

    These are Shapeways and MISCMINI decals. Different era for me.

    Wooow! Bob, what a superb effort there. Colors are very true according to the period (different manufacturers) - and above all - what an armada!
    Plus for the decals - chequers - those days they used the red square on top left part, changed later 90 degrees.

    Good point!
    I did not write my post without a reason. Many of the W40K decals are pretty universal. I used one set to decal my Shapeways Staaken I had been given by JBMacek at Origins 2013.

    Very nice. You never know how you can adapt decals meant for something else for your use. Here are 2 LVG V's I did for the Polish.

    These are the last of the planes for this year. However, I do have some tanks to put together, paint and decal. I did get some German, US and Russian decals so that will be after Christmas.

    Finally finished painting my Tech-priest. Spent quite a while on him, and I've learnt quite a bit from painting him. Hopefully I can apply what I've learnt on other models I've got.

    Squats are what stopped me playing 4K. I had just spent a lot of dosh building up my Squat Biker squads, always having played Dwarf armies in the past, when Workshop brought out its new rule book. Squats had been written out. I gave mine to my sons and swore never to buy another Workshop army as long as I live.

    The font is Irken and is from the Invader Zim cartoon. The words on the lid say "invasion box of doom" and under the cuttlefish, it says "megadoomer". My brother-in-law is a big fan of the cartoon so he'll get a kick out of it. I'm giving him the cuttlefish and a Sopwith camel with it.

    Indeed, Rob; that marketing decision led to the term "Squatted" to be coined, referring to a faction, or large portion of a faction that was removed from the rules, and organized play by GW.

    Concerning Squats, if I remember right they were mostly owned by Maruder (SP) who made a lot of the GW Sculpts. When they tried to grab all the sculpts for themselves the company held out and balked at giving them up...soooo...write em out if we can't own em. Funny thing is, in Battlefleet Gothic guess who the Demiurgs are?

    Besides attempting graphic work, I have been 'painting' something this month.

    This is one of 320 Heritage Stones at the Comox Air Force Museum Air Park:

    It is a composite showing the before and after condition of the stone (The diagonal slash through the center is the weathered stone, the outsides are the refinished stone). Being out in the weather and sun, the red paint has deteriorated to nearly nothing, and the other paint is going, as well. The referbisment project has been ongoing for years, and we are trialing a new material. The new material is a dishwasher safe glass paint. We are hoping the red lasts more than a year. There are 320 stones, and we have managed to paint about 20 or 30 a summer.

    This fall (end of October), we pulled 30 from the racks before they were covered for the winter, with the hope of speeding up the refurbishment by painting through the winter. In seven weeks, we have 14 done, so the remaining 16 will be done in lots of time for the Spring park opening in May.

    Well that explains why they so suddenly disappeared from the Wh40K universe. I wondered why they, literally, disappeared between one version and the next.

    As a marketing decision, I suppose it made sense, as any Squat player was now out of the game, if they didn't go buy a whole new army of "Adeptus Approved" stuff.

    I see I've missed a ton of great 'workbench' stuff. November was tough month with family and then the flu which I haven't entirely beaten. Really only back to the hobby in the last couple of weeks. The focus is trying to finish the figures I need for the variations on a theme for the Battle of Bailen. Here are the 4th Swiss Rgt (in French service) with some generals, Spanish generals / ADC and the Spanish Africa Rgt. The Swiss are a mix of Tabletop and Essex figures while the remainder are AB figures.

    Suitable for any rules. I'm planning on using them for three different rule sets for the battle of Bailen. I don't have BP but I suspect that most rules these days are pretty adaptable for various base size. I'm using 40mm X 30mm which seems a common standard.

    Those Shadow Chaps are certainly talented.

    Nice painting Paul and I like the size of your regiments 48 figures is a big commitment in true Charles Grant style but they look far better than small skinny regiments of 12 or so figures.
    Well done.

    Well, Paul, since I already have Song of Drums and Shakos and have read through it twice and taken notes, I think it is time to place an order with a local source for some Front Line 28mm British and French light troops so that the skirmishing can begin......pictures will be forthcoming in the new year...yours and Ken's and Karo's work has reawakened my interest in the Penisular War...

    All the best,
    Matt

    Done a bit of both myself though nothing recently.
    15/18mm. AB figures are a tall 15mm so most call them 18mm.

    Nice figures....and courageous of you to do both scales.
