Almost a year ago I thought to myself that it is a pity that most WW2 tabletop miniatures are really not of the highest quality. If you enjoy the paining part of our hobby, this can be a bit disappointing sometimes. Enjoying the painting side of the hobby so much myself, I decided that I […]

US Glider Infantry – Sneak Peak
The first Stoessi’s Heroes miniature release is approaching! Waiting for the remaining casts to arrive from Brother Vinnie, but for some reason he’s gone silent on me. I really hope to get my first own production ready for sales within the next few weeks. Proper pics of the “promo” paint job next week. Let me […]
More Warlord Germanz with Maxmini heads
Managed to complete this small squad of Germans where I used Warlord miniatures, but swapped out the heads for these here from Maxmini. The guy on the left was already finished last year and I had already posted pictures of him. So, what’s next? The next miniatures that I have started are especially exciting for […]
The reason for going silent for so long
While I am keeping this blog focused on the miniature painting & tabletop wargaming hobby, I have a little bit of a different post this time around. I went silent for about 6 months and while this was due to work and holiday travel in the beginning, another event impacted my life and is now […]
Hermann, the (rather big-headed) German
Last weekend a few miniature freaks from the area around Frankfurt got together at my place and spent a nice and sunny Sunday afternoon in the basement painting tiny (and in some cases slightly bigger) miniatures. When I prepared the painter’s meetup in the morning, I noticed a few heads from maxmini.eu which I had […]
Next Heer46 guy rolls off the workbench
My next German is ready. Really love those Heer46 minis. Very much to the dislike of my wife who’d rather see me continue working on the pirate bust from the workshop with Fernando Ruiz. Oh well, so many miniatures, so little time to paint them. Here are a few more pictures from various WIP stages:
Painting Workshop Review – Pirates, Ham & BBQ with Fernando Ruiz
Last weekend I had the pleasure of attending my second painting workshop with Fernando Ruiz. Fernando is not only a fantastic painter, but he runs his own miniature company FeR Miniatures which produces some of the coolest busts and miniatures that I have seen on the market. If you have not seen his range yet, […]
Angry-looking dude from Heer46 & Nocturna Models
So, I have prepared two new projects to work on. First, this angry little dude from Heer46 just hit my workbench: And second, a 70mm miniature from Nocturna Models: Luna’s Soldier. I’ll just call her Luna and she is going to be my next shot at a showcase level paintjob. Her arm that is holding […]
Zombicide Survivors – Group Shot
Time for the group shots that I promised: I am pretty happy with how they turned out. Next step: Organize a “Steak ‘n Zombicide” evening with a few friends. š
Zombicide – Doug joins and completes my set of survivors
Right. Done with Zombicide. At least for now. I have to say it’s been about time as I started to run out of steam on the last survivor that I needed to do to have them all complete. I don’t know if it was the heatwave that hit Germany over the past two weeks, but […]
